Istanbul is an important area for lots of bird species. Especially some species which are in danger of extinction and migratory goes by Bosphorus. But there are lots of projects will be built in İstanbul’s future. (you can see lots of them from this site: http://megaprojeleristanbul.com/ )
So the untouched areas will be the house for this species. On the other hand actually, there are lots of people who love birds and interested in watching them. On a tour to go by a steamer you can see lots of people are feeding birds and watching them. So the seaside is safe and ready to find a food side for birds.Today there is a breakwater, which is in Haydarpaşa. It is not connected with the coast, and it is a new home for some species.They are habiting on a breakwater, and it is like a new small island which is artificial but last year some people want to use breakwater as an advertising area.And birds were disturbed. There are lots of cormorant eggs and baby cormorants today.
This project aims to design(rehabilitate) that infrastructure (breakwater) again as an artificial island. We connected with some biologists and learnt how they live and use the area. And also we searched lots of things from http://ikgt.blogspot.com.tr/. Designing for birds future has different rules from humans.
Today: Birds are living on the breakwater in bad situation.
1 years later: The rehabilitation process. Birds and plantings will try to get used to the new design
2 years later: The rehabilitation will be over, birds will get used to new things.
5 years later: Breakwater turns into an artificial island, with new plantings and the lights
