site shift

i'm working both on digial and physical model for the site.



the site is located now on 100m north of the old one. the old site was too narrow to experiment with multiple towers. the site still has the same social context, crazy contrast between the cheaper housing district and the crazily expensive condoniums next to each other.



the highway is morphing to a street in the last decade. this was meant to be the outskirts of istanbul in 90's.

only the highway - underground system provides the access to these towers. they are all worlds within themselves. a mosque next to a 238m tall residential tower shares almost nothing with eachother. the giant tower next to the site, Sapphire Istanbul is like a sitting person facing his back to the real city.

This violence should not happen with the chain tower on this site.
