STUDY PROCESS.
In my comprehensive study, coined as a "Forensic Architecture Factory" analysis, I delved into the environmental impact of the ISDEMIR factory. Utilizing a multi-faceted approach, I amalgamated satellite imagery, climate change databases, and limited existing papers pertaining to the pollution caused by this industrial entity. The objective was to unravel the intricate layers of environmental consequences and provide a holistic understanding of its implications.
The initial step involved the meticulous creation of a detailed 3D and 2D map of the ISDEMIR factory. This mapping was not just a visual representation but an amalgamation of data collected from satellite images, climate change records, and select research papers. Through this process, I aimed to create a visual narrative that could encapsulate the sprawling dimensions of the factory and its impact on the surrounding environment.

To enhance the precision of my model, I meticulously compared the information obtained from satellite imagery with on-the-ground measurements, using tools available on Google Earth. I paid special attention to the factory's eleven wharves, extending into the sea, as these areas were crucial in understanding the extent of its influence on the water bodies.
To address the complexity of the model, which included a staggering two million polygons, I implemented advanced visualization techniques. This involved the integration of artificial intelligence tools to regenerate the model, enhance images, and prompt a more nuanced understanding of the factory's spatial intricacies. The goal was to transcend the limitations of conventional mapping methods and provide a comprehensive, data-rich representation.
The analysis extended beyond static images; I applied AI-driven processes to create a dynamic visualization. This involved generating a sequence of frames and animations to illustrate the temporal evolution of the factory's impact. This dynamic representation allowed for a more immersive exploration of the environmental changes over time.
Throughout this forensic architectural study, the focus remained on unraveling the factory's impact on water bodies, air quality, and overall ecosystem health. By integrating data from various sources, employing cutting-edge technology, and presenting the findings through dynamic visualizations, the study aimed to contribute valuable insights into the environmental challenges posed by the ISDEMIR factory. Ultimately, the goal was to foster a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between industrial activities and environmental consequences.
