"The Bridge"

The project, which seeks a solution to the spatial crack that the Peninsula faces today, despite being home to many civilizations throughout history, by preserving the historical Theodosius walls, reviving the Bostan culture, and integrating historical buildings, aims to close this crack in the area in three stages with the concept of "The Bridge": Historical bridge, connectivity bridge, and ecological bridge. The bridges aim to bring together both historical value and sustainability to create a holistic fiction for the area. The design includes historic parks, commercial routes, green corridors, and sustainable ecological practices. With these changes, it is envisaged that the region will have the capacity to become carbon positive in only 17 years instead of 271 years.
