Haydarpasa Gari - park, loop, foyer
Stimulating the transformation of a former railyard through a catalyst of nostalgia
Once, the Haydarpasa Railyard in Istanbul was a key link for railway traffic between Europe and Asia and a gate to the Turkish hinterland and Middle East. After the opening of the Bosphorus-crossing Marmaray Tunnel, it has lost its function and became abandoned.
Taking into account the various historical layers as well as the place of the site in the public memory, the design project proposes transforming the site into a park. This park is defined by the loop, a walkway on the path of a former sidetrack that defines the perimeter of the park and connects its different zones.
Along the loop, several interventions related to the different historical layers of the site and the inherent nostalgia are introduced. One of them is the ensemble of a panorama on top of an old turning disc as well as an existing ruinous locomotive shed, together forming a catalyst of nostalgia at the entrance of the new park. Now, after the train-traveling has stopped, this new Eastern gate to the park enables travels in time. ...

Within an area that presents edges with very different characteristics, surveilled and controlled to various extents, the proposal will focus on designing an intervention that will exercise control over the user through the qualities and through the use of the designed space.
In addition, because the site presents the zone of the lagoon where an environmental regeneration was attempted, my proposal will make use of the new “nature” that has been designed.
Considering these characteristics, as a function of the building I propose a sanatorium, a place fully controlled, where the human is contained, and removed from his usual environment.
The graduation proposal project focuses mostly on understanding the extent of social control that a designed space can exercise on the user. In addition, it serves as a commentary on the current society that we live in, always watched and monitored, congested in chaotic cities that keep growing haphazardly to accommodate more and more inhabitants ...

VES Solkan
A hydrogen node for the FVG region, Italy
This project is grounded in notions of fragmentation, camouflaging, invisibility, idiosyncracies, and oddities in infrastructures.
Understanding infrastructures as one of a number and reproducible elsewhere in the territory gives way to understanding my project as an addition to the distributed, dispersed, and fragmented characterization of the so-called „unrealized infrastructures“ in the FVG region in Italy.
With this project, i would like not only to emphasize the importance of the current Hydrogen economy in the Solkan area but especially, to show a possibility of implementation in an architectural context. ...

The Banality of Death
Interweaving territories of life and death at the outskirts of Mashhad
The Banality of Death addresses the way the city of Mashhad deals with death. It is an attempt to architecturally translate and expose the tensions that arise between traditional values and the modern transformation of the burial process by the design of three extended rest-stops along the Bagcheh Highway that act as mediators with the goal of interweaving the territories of the dead and living. They are part of the burial ritual as well as they accommodate places for rest and leisure. The design includes a playscape at a former burial place of a persecuted minority in Mashhad where people are playfully confronted with death and its architecture (1), an ablution facility in between two highways that functions as the starting point of the burial ritual and acts as a transfer point for a mobility system, taking visitors that are not necessarily related to the burial ritual around the territory (2) and a watchtower situated on/in a forgotten site of heritage where formerly pilgrims encountered their first view towards the golden dome of the Imam Reza Shrine at the center of Mashhad, and has a role in the completion of the mourning process.

Hybrid Frame
An urban program generator for a shrinking city
The design project based in Genova develops the possibility of reconnecting an urban void to the existing urban fabric, through the implementation of an architectural and infrastructural frame which is saturated with program, so that the new connection proposed becomes also a destination for the city.
