CARNALL HALL
The project area is located in one of the most popular square in Istanbul.Today the building in the project area is serious problem for users. Unusable structure interrupts pedestrian flow. I suggested a music and exhibition venue instead of the structure. The new building offers viewing points for the galata tower. it also creates a new axis for pedestrians with its permeability.
In order to better understand the region, I walked not only to the Galata square but also to the other three squares that it established relations with. I studied pedestrian intensifies. I took 2, 3 and 5 minute walks to create the human circle diagram. In doing so, my first aim was to examine the effect of the slope in the terrain and its surroundings on human movement.
At the same time, I designed to construct my approach to slope but also I have provided a lot of data about human intensity thanks to my human circle. I examined the slope and density as factors affecting the speed of walking.
I saw the effect of the gradient on the density. In this way, I edited the inputs of the construction and withdrew the structure for the square that the area needed. combining the most intense main front entrance with the exhibition area, I made it work together with the square. So instead of the old building that was invisible, I provided an alternative space for people. Based on my human circle diagram, I have structured the structure by taking long references. So I made reference to the continuous movement in the region and created more surfaces that people could touch.
