Lifeguard Tower
Design and build
Summer Practice
Yeni bogaziciu, 2019
In collaboration with Yeni bogaziciu Municipality, TRNC Champer of Architecture and University of MET under the under the vision of design and build of summer practice for the Department of Architecture at Eastern Mediterranean University. The lifeguard tower was one of the projects in this practice to give a practical construction experiences for the students of the department of architecture.
The one month practice involved: Building and structure, Planning and design, Public interaction, Collaborative environment
And team work. we focused on: International collaboration, Detailing, Urban context, and Sustainability while insuring : Safety and education and having Site experiences and fun

The Lifeguard Tower project is a design and construction project that was undertaken to provide students with a practical experience in the fields of architecture and construction. The project involved the design and construction of a lifeguard tower that would be used at a local beach.
Design:
The design of the lifeguard tower was carefully considered to ensure it met the needs of the lifeguards who would be using it. The tower was designed to be tall enough to provide a clear view of the beach, with a wide base to provide stability. The tower was also designed to be easily accessible, with a staircase leading up to the observation deck.
The design of the tower also incorporated a number of safety features, such as handrails and non-slip surfaces on the stairs and observation deck. The tower was also designed to be durable and able to withstand the harsh coastal environment, with materials such as stainless steel and marine-grade plywood used in its construction.
Construction:
The construction of the lifeguard tower was a collaborative effort between students and instructors in the architecture and construction programs. Students were responsible for tasks such as measuring and cutting materials, assembling components, and installing fixtures and finishes.
Throughout the construction process, safety was a top priority, with students following established safety protocols and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment.
