REPROGRAMMING AN URBAN FIELD: LANDSCAPE DESIGN STRATEGIES TO “ATAKULE”
SITE ANALYSIS&SYNTHESIS OF “ATAKULE”
According to our researches and observations in Atakule site, we prepared our poster for the first jury about the analysis of site “Atakule” and we focused on three main subjects on our site analysis :
Publicness Degree
Flow
Boundary
PUBLİCNESS DEGREE
We observed the site according to their user profiles and then we separated places according to their usage by people ( highly public, semi public, and less public places) . Bus stops and parks are highly public, banks and schools are semi public , consulates are less public places.
FLOW
We observed the site both in the day and night. And then we realized that in the day surrounding of Atakule and Botanic Park are mostly used by people so people density is high in the vicinity but when we look at the Botanic park , it is not used as much as surroundings of Atakule. In the night, people density of cafes and restaurants are mostly high.
BOUNDARY
We realized that the site is very crowded and there are lots of user profiles for usage of Botanic Park and near Atakule, people do not prefer to use these areas for both natural and artificial boundary. Natural boundary is topography of the site because slope of Botanic Park is too much.Artificial boundary is human - made barriers because connection between Atakule site and Botanic Park is too poor.
All in all, we were well-prepared for the jury and it was great for us.
