Common-Action Wall is a full-scale prototype constructed in Karaalioğlu Park using rammed earth. It was designed as a public architectural wall enabling the cultivation and harvesting of edible plants for park users.
Wall Unit Model View
Following extensive research on minimal surfaces, a gyroid geometry was adopted to optimize sunlight exposure, rainwater direction toward planting pockets, and modular production efficiency. Digitally modeled modules were fabricated using contemporary molding techniques and integrated with traditional rammed-earth construction methods.
Wall Unit Production Process
As Earthen Architecture Consultant, material research was conducted based on the Alker technique. Local soil sources were analyzed, and project-specific mixture ratios, stabilizers, and additive components were determined, providing technical contribution from research through on-site implementation.
