Social Gathering Space at Büyükada

 

“The Nexus" emerged with the idea of being designed as a social gathering area for Büyükada/Istanbul. In the project, an inclusive architectural space was created based on social responsibility. A barrier-free area that appeals to all ages, genders and groups has been designed. The context of being a Büyükadalı resident is essential in the design, and in this context, a building proposal is developed under 3 main headings to create a common culture. culture & art, gastronomy, participatory production ateliar. The area is divided into 3 buildings and a square is created in the middle area. Various installations are integrated into the spaces and experienced in all areas.

​

Moreover, Natural building materials that reflect the architecture of Büyükada and are compatible with socially responsible architecture were used. A hybrid of the traditional timber frame system and stacked stone system was used, a variety of infill materials were tried, and glass brick was preferred as the infill material only in important entrance areas and also became a part of the facade.
