Landscape Design III (PEM 312E - CRN 20820) – “Eco-cultural Explorations: Baltalimanı Valley Park” will be conducted by Prof. Dr. Meltem Erdem Kaya @meltem_erdem_kaya and Res. Assist. Başak Akarsu Akdemir @basakakarsu in the 2024-2025 Spring Semester.

24-25 Spring Semester Landscape Design III Studio focuses on the design of a green system for Baltalimanı Valley. In line with the İstanbul Metropolitan Municipalities Life Valley Strategy, the studio focuses on Baltalimanı as a case to investigate the potentials of the valley to create a holistic framework as the main backbone of the green network at the neighbourhood scale.

The studio aims to generate a design knowledge through Eco-Cultural explorations on the valley to reveal the ecological and cultural dynamics of the site and propose an urban park programme that reflects creative design thinking and spatial solutions as an ecological and cultural manifestation through the urban stream landscape.  The park, the existing character and land use pattern of the valley will be the starting point for the urban landscape discussions, questioning the quality and materiality of the design whilst respecting the existing character of the site.
