Abstract
The inhabitants of Assos live by ruins of temples, theatre and civic buildings inherent a humanistic value that transcends to present day. This is the hidden reality of many more cities on the Anatolian coast. This thesis proposes a system for
the revival of this unique type of ruin-city. The objective is to restore the organism of the city as a whole for its inhabitants and visitors. This is achieved by proposing a landscape intervention of a circular path reconnecting the inhabited village with the civic monuments to be restored. Along the path sites for new public buildings are proposed, laying the foundation for the expansion and rebirth of the city.
