URBAN RENOVATION
The site is known as the pioneering zone for multi-family apartment buildings of İstanbul in the beginning of the 20th century. The project aims to restore the urban fabric and citizen interaction through the creation of well integrated functions and developments within a 21st century architectural vocabulary. The project blends with the existing mid-rise architecture and creates a comfortable and healthy environment that provides outdoor spaces and facilities, shops and cafes to establish an urban quarter linked to pedestrian routes with good transportation connections including the subway access. The project naturally becomes a passage between diversities and an urban meeting space. Architectural attitude of the lively quarter will also repair the damage upon the social and economic fabric, as well as the betterment of building quality. The renewed social relations will create a contemporary life around the magnetic public spaces in a dynamic and pleasant neighborhood.
