Maslak Square – Shell & Core Architectural Survey Project

In the Maslak Square project, we conducted measurement and surveying work to document the existing geometry of the shell and core structure and to provide a basis for architectural design studies. Based on the existing condition before interior arrangements and finishing works, we recorded the spatial characteristics of the building and the measurement relationships that would guide the design process. During the field work, we measured the existing architectural and structural elements of the building and compiled data that would form the basis for plan and section production. By evaluating the spatial boundaries, the placement of load-bearing elements, openings, and elevation relationships, we prepared a technical infrastructure that would allow design teams to interpret the on-site conditions from the drawings.

Based on the measurement data obtained, we created architectural plans reflecting the current state of the building. These plans revealed the layout of the spaces, their spatial organization, and the relationships between the building elements. By documenting the existing layout of the building, whose final interior design applications are not yet complete, we supported the development of subsequent design decisions based on data obtained from the field.

Using the sections we prepared, we transferred the vertical characteristics of the structure, the floor heights, and the relationships between different levels into a drawing environment. By considering the plans and sections together, we created a holistic set of survey drawings that allows us to understand not only the horizontal layout but also the volumetric characteristics of the building. These drawings provide a basis for the existing situation that can be referred to in architectural design and interdisciplinary coordination studies.

As KG Engineering, in our work at Maslak Square, we documented the shell & core phase of the structure with architectural drawings based on measurement data. With the plans and sections we prepared, we contributed to the accurate transfer of existing building conditions to the design process and to the planning of subsequent applications based on up-to-date field information.
