Abstract

This paper is related to a workshop implemented in Anadolu University, Faculty of Architecture and Design. The â€œCanopy Structure Design Workshopâ€ lasts 4 weeks. The mentioned workshop was done with a group of 70 2nd year undergraduate students. 14 teams of 5 were made out of these students. They were asked to develop their projects with models. At the end of the process, the students made 14 canopy structures of wood with a 1:1 scale. Some of these are called Flexible Structure, Armadillo and Tensegrity. This study comprises the photographs and evaluations of the designs obtained at the end of the â€œCanopy Structure Design Workshopâ€. In the assertion is explained the positive and negative properties of these designs.
