A New Chapter
The logic of computer programming has fascinated me since childhood. The same way of thinking also lies behind design mathematics, which is now my main field of interest. Searching for the simplicity behind things, looking for the fundamentals, and identifying the most meaningful basic elements has always been my greatest challenge.
With this intention, Designcoding went online in 2011. I tried to share my research, some student work, and news. While learning computational geometry, I wanted to teach it as well, and it continued for much longer than I had ever expected. During the past few years, I could not devote enough attention to it for long periods of time.
Now, a new chapter has begun.
I will resume sharing my experiences, the things I go through while trying to understand problems, and my working files from where I left off. If you are interested in reading about the experiences of someone who is trying to understand the ideas behind geometry rather than simply presenting finished AI-generated solutions, welcome to my blog.
With this return, I have also completely rebuilt the infrastructure of the old website, while keeping its classic appearance. It is now faster, mobile-friendly, and based on a simple structure that I hope I can maintain for many years. I have closed all my other platforms except for my YouTube channel, where I publish my course videos. As before, you can access the blog directly through its own address or via search engines.
In this new chapter, just as it was before 2022, all of my working files will be available for free download. If you find my work helpful, you can support me with a small donation through Patreon to help cover my server and software expenses. I am truly grateful for your support, which has encouraged me on the 15-year journey of designcoding.
Tuğrul.

Wordle Analysis

I recently discovered Wordle, a visualization tool for websites. I’m very curious about the social network of design computing community. Trying to understand the trends, how the knowledge is spreading, and the role of different actors on this developing field of architectural design. First of all, I analyzed designcoding.net with all words within 103 posts until today (Click on the image for full size). Wordle can be visited by clicking here. Below is the grasshopper3d.com’s wordle result. I suspect it’s rss…

A Programmable World

The mandatory course Readings on Digital Culture in the Graduate Program in Architectural Design at Istanbul Bilgi University began with the introductory chapter of Charlie Gere’s Digital Culture. We will write a response paper every week. I have completed my response to the first reading. The reading begins with the parallel development of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism. It then follows this history up to the emergence of today’s computers. It looks at how money gradually became a more abstract…
3D Printing Research Area

Over the past few months, I bought a cheap and affordable 3D printer, and I am quite satisfied with it. The Creality Hi model printer has advanced features and its quality is not bad at all. Compared to the Ultimaker printers we used in the past, technology has naturally evolved over the years, and certain processes have become much easier. With this occasion, I wanted to share the literature review I conducted for a project. Maybe it will be useful…

The group exhibition 2 Years 10 Meters, curated by Natalia Schmidt, opened on April 24, 2024, at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. My name was also included in the exhibition due to the projection graphics in Didem Yalınay’s artwork Intra)/value. This was another step in Didem’s long-term project. She hated being called a “Digital Artist.” She produced wonderful works with Seçkin Maden. I was fortunate enough to accompany her as a modest collaborator on one of her pieces….
