JUSTICE
FAIR SHARING
RIGTH OF REPRESENTATION
ECOLOGY
At the beginning of the summer of 2013, the younger generation seeking representation, justice, sharing, the right to representation, ecology for the first time in the history of the country - nature-oriented and urban public rights appeals , which expressed the objection of the "days of protests. Today, the process that began against the destruction of several trees still trying to live opposite the Divan hotel with work machines and spread throughout the country is not in the rhythm of daily life due to its nature, but it still continues to affect the way of thought. What remains of this period, despite the movement and social sensitivity conceptualized as the defense of the northern forests, continue to spread to the country's sath of destructive interventions in natural areas, the new airport , HESler, Thermal and nuclear power plants, mines and stone furnaces micro-scale and unconscious practices to save the day. Vertical garden applications, hasty interventions and kitsch arrangements including gezi park millions of new trees planted in excessive quantities, deliberately neglected ancient trees, historic Ottoman mosque squares left without sycamores, ornate highway edges and stone-covered 'non-lieu' Taksim square indescribable sadness. Throughout the historical process, Taksim Square has come to this day as a place of representation, freedom and prohibitions of the occupying forces, where the forces of power are in the show of power, muhalefein, social subgroups, women, LGBT individuals. In all this historical perspective, many religious, administrative, cultural, public, sporting, commercial architectural memory elements or places that serve the representation of sociological layers within the city's fabric have completed and destroyed their existing life. As a metaphor for this project, which was built by Mahmut 1732, taksim maksem structure is the only structure in Taksim, which represents the disputed concepts of humanity and ultimately the right to ecological life, as well as representation, justice, fair sharing, which is the basis of gezi park protests.
In this sense, it should be underlined that it is an icon of this place and its history to announce the ecological process of destruction in the world and the new world strife exacerbated by water, rather than being the building that fairly shared the water to its neighborhoods, which have very modest architecture according to the many monumental and historical structures that surround it. This structure, which has quietly existed between the Republic monument representing the founding philosophy of modern Turkey and the construction of a mosque with a controversial religious symbol, can become a symbol for Urban and Ecological Justice and describe the Taksim of everything and everyone on this axis. It is a structure that meets the potential and everything in the desired section of the specification. Maksem structure is the hydrological courthouse, art structure that receives water, gives, distributes fairly, which is the source of the ignored life, which is the source of the ignored life, which belongs to tomorrow, the city, the northern forests, the novel florists, the police, religion, secularism. For this reason, we see the theoretical main crack of our taksim design study as a symbol for the fair distribution of all kinds of justice, the use of natural resources produced by the ecological network for human, qualified and healthy urban life, which is created by maksem building-taksim water line-belgrade forest bends. In today's day when social and political turmoil is still going on, we think that natural life and processes should be examined over and over again, especially in pandemic conditions. We imagine that Taksim, which is a crossroads in every sense, will be a representative place in access to healthy urban ecological life, forest and other ecological focuses. Flora and Fauna will create eco-cultural environment with the example of healthy urban forest mashceresi, we want to be the Gezi Park's Gezi Park youth with full meaning in this context we think will be approved. It is the largest organism and organization in the world of forest ingenuity. MeĹ&#x;cere(in turkish): Age, tree type combination, growth or establishment shape is part of the forest, which clearly separates itself from its surroundings with all or part of them and is at least a hectare large

KIRKÇEŞME & TAKSİM WATER SYSTEM MAP
TAKSİM WATER SYSTEM MAP
Taksim Water System Taksim waters on the western coast of the Bosphorus, Beyoğlu, Besiktas, Galata and Kaspasa on the crowded area of the north of the Golden Horn, Beyoğlu, Besiktas, Galata and Kaspasa as a result of the water shortage scarcity carried out between Sultan I.Mahmut (1730-1754) to meet the need of the region. The property was last shaped in 1839. Topuzlu Bend main section of the transmission gallery belonging to Taksim Water System, which has a total length of 23 km, is 0.6-0.7 m wide and 1.2-1.4 m high on this waterway, There are 20 m high Büyükdere Belt, 330 m long Derbent Reverse Flush and various water balances in 400 m long and double-storey creek crossing, and in the first phase of this facility, the waters in the creeks in Bahçeköy were taken with small moors and water was taken to the city with glazed blunt. After passing the Bahçeköy Arch, the 25 km long sale line reached Acıelma, Derbent, Maslak, Ayazağa, Zincirlikuyu, Mecidiyeköy, Şişli via Harbiye and the large water tank in Taksim and Taksim Maksem. From here, it was distributed with fountains to the lower parts of the region. Today, Taksim Maksemi is dry.
NORTHERN FORESTS - UNDERSTANDING BELGRADE FOREST ECOSYSTEM AND THINKING ABOUT TAKSIM GEZI PARK PARKThe Northern Forests, which begin from the border with Bulgaria, continue to the Georgian border with cuts. The Belgrade forest is part of this large geographical forest system. The Belgrade Forest extends to the Black Sea coast to the north, to Ayazaga to the south, to Gokturk in the west and kabatas hill on SarĹyer in the east, the historical significance of this forest does not come from the 5524 hectare "tree sea" character that surrounds Istanbul from the north alone. . The Belgrade Forest, which is an important motif both historically and ecologically in Istanbul's green space pattern today, is home to functions such as nature conservation, forestry and recreation. However, urban development in the historical process is under pressure due to recreation needs. Reining in this pressure depends on the ecological awareness of the urbanite. the first water storage structures to establish hydrological relations with Taksim, are surrounded by trees such as Bends Oak, Beech, Birch, Pine, Maple, Sycamore, and ensuring the continuity of water depends on the careful protection of these forests. Today, the dysfunction of Taksim waterway and this part of the forest lacks green space and urban forest throughout Istanbul and in Gezi park should be worked on as a conceptual plane.From 5554 Ha of healthy natural and healthy forest and a tree area of the most unhealty central area of the battered city like a stray dog ,in every artistic sense, It is necessary to think about the architectural, sociolojic and ecological restoration. Gezi Park and Maçka 2 park should be associated regardless of the disconnect.
TAKSIM
UNDERSTANDING THE ECOSYSTEM OF THE PARK-THINKING ON THE BELGRADE FOREST Today, with its unhealthy and diseased structure, Gezi Park has been rendered dysfunctional and corrupt with urban and administrative preferences such as the dysfunction of the water system that once gave life to the city. The park area organized with the understanding of the formal urban aesthetic of the period was not brought to the present day with its original form by caring for the modern european parks. He lost space in himself and had extensions, such as Maçka Park, which was torn apart. Especially after the Gezi protests, the conscious-unconscious interventions of the local government, the unintended use of the park, meteorological extreme conditions and landscaping were removed from the orijinal contex and degenerated. Additional and dense reforestation with trees with foreign origin (disease-carrying) trees seems to further challenge the conditions of congested habitat and is not likely to repair the unhealthy ecosystem. The Gezi Park, which has become a small piece of forest in the city, again makes it think of the northern forests threatened by mega projects, and especially the Belgrade Forest. From the micro organism, mushrooms, simple herbal communities, which are home to a pure healthy selection forest, the healthy ecosystem, which includes complex animal diversity, to enter into the effort to produce for a urban forestry under extraordinary pressure, to spend ecological awareness in Gezi Park this time not with protests, but with contemporary urban aesthetic understanding on the axis of reason, science, to urbanize, to describe inorganic and organic relationships felt with lines on the ground plane, i.e. in the ecosystem of this framework From this framework to the city to its northern nature, to the ancient waterway in the east, to the Bosphorus, to look at the historical peninsula in the south, the industrial maritime heritage in the west, the Golden Horn, to make you think about its position on earth ... UNDERSTANDING HISTORICAL LAYERSIn the final phase of the empire, Taksim and its relatives, which were filled with monumental structures with the construction of Taşkışla, Gümüşsuyu, Maçka, Harbiye Barracks, gained imperial urban texture in parallel with the spirit of the period. Artillery barracks from these structures were demolished with proust urban plan and inonu trip was established on its tracks. As a design criterion, the impact of these massive structures geometradvanced and its creations is important.
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MAÇKA NO. 2 PARK, ARTILLERY barracks, INONU TOUR AND CALENDAR SQUARE
DESIGN APPROACH
On the one hand, social demonstrations are held, the right of appeal is used in the always controversial square, on the other hand, trying to maintain its life as a wooded area in the case of collapse dislocated Gezi Park is in the stage of the leap plane of a new understanding for the future with urban and sociological meaning that they represent rather than the visual qualities. The design of this place, which is the highest urban focus that interchanges everyone and everything, also requires many of our doubtful connections to examine and make sense of the layer. The architecture of all kinds of abstract relations network is the basic instinct of design in realizing the transformation of Taksim and Gezi in this historical period as concrete works after June 2013, a world square. Work on this mental plane will be carried out. ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH REMOTE ECOSYSTEMS WATER SYSTEMS WITH PEDESTRIAN- BIKE ROUTE CONNECTED WITH ACCESS TO GREEN WAY AND EUROVELO NET
Taksim Waterway line is the main component of the project. Belgrade forest water will be brought back to Taksim Maksem and the Taksim traveler will be able to drink from this water. Some of the water will be used symbolically for the watering of Gezi Park trees. The green belt zons, which include pedestrian walking and cycling paths that cross the urban problem thresholds between Taksim and Belgrade forest, will be created, and after reaching the Bahçeköy sections, this course will reach the sides of the Belgrade forest on Kemerburgaz side and reach the Golden Horn on the one hand and complete the transformation by returning to Taksim. This course can also be connected with the VIZE Water system, the longest waterway built during the Roman Empire. In this way, it will be a route to help diversify the tourist by integating into the international Cycling and Trekking network system. Similar types of routes can be established on other historical waterways systems (Halkalı Waterway, Hamidiye water, etc.) and throughout the Bosphorus and are associated with the Taksim waterway line. GEZI PARK AND EXTENSIONS The main approach in the regulation of the park is to improve and repair today's ecosystem to a level that cannot be dared to destroy it again by using historical, urban, architectural traces, and to establish a wise, wise, wise space of the world. It is aimed to create an upper perception plane where the horizon and city skyline will be enjoyed day and night, from ground plane to tree tops, from north to south, east to west, and to place it in a universal FRAME.
With the close extensionof this green frame, Maรงka2, all green slopes that descend into the valley of the DOLMABAHร E will be established as it should be, green corridors will be re-created. The Gezi park is a massive urban green space system that is not just a trip to Inonu, and the Gezi Park arrangement is the most valuable Urban Balcony of this system.
With 2 rectangulated reflection pools in the park, the other reflection pool in front of the Ataturk Cultural Center is the abstraction of 3 historical bents in Bahรงekรถy, the starting facilities of the water line that comes from the Belgrade Forest and eventually results in Taksim Maksem. These three pools, as in the Belgrade Forest, represent an abstract platform that is not in visibility, such as mental reflection, thinking, but also contributing to visualization and urban air conditioning on its own scale. They continue in various directions of the square, which are in their position in their real geography and whose topographical traces are not only in the pool but outside, and develop their own cartoon of the square and the park. Children and young people can enter these pools barefoot, watch the sky and periodic leaf flower coloring, visual reflections of tree branches, snow, rain, wind reactions. Birds and creatures in the park can
take advantage of pool water by drinking, washing. The upper square is located in the center of the Visitor (700m2) on mete street side, except for the reflection pool (1st Mahmoud Bendi). Other routes for Taksim, which is an important tourist destination, and a reference point for the city will continue on the amphibious roof inside the glass building, which will also have a terrace for an overview of Parka and Square. The area between these two reflective elements (visitor center and reflection pool) is divided into the sporting and other bodily performance activities of young people. This plane is the only area of the Intercontinental Hotel end park to the Bosphorus. The glass-weighted greenhouse structure (150m2) will be the only food and beverage service of the park, as it is today. The large green area between this area and the visitor structure would contribute to increasing the aesthetic perception of the park and increasing its depth with reflected vertical and horizontal surface studies that will allow spread under tree trunks and partially abstraction from the environment
Starting from the reflection pool, the existing promenad-alle axle and the children's area crosses the bridge and reaches the landscape platform in front of THE DİVAN HOTEL. From here to Taskışla and Talimhane direction without entering traffic.
From the upper square, the main square is descended by steps. The stands on Harbiye-Rumeli street are greenly treed steps between the two corners. In the main square, it is descended with hard floor-coated steps. This tribune will continue to be the scene of mass demonstrations as in the past
From the green and hard floor-covered bleachers, the interior is descended into the inner square with the large pool. Today, the venue has a quiet atmosphere and is surrounded by steps in three directions. The terraces of the old Gezi Park will be preserved and left as the scene of improved calm music performances. Part of the pool here will be reflected, but it will be the plant-lotus pool with the presence of trees in it. After the gezi protests, the trees in this area, which are overly forested by the municipality, will be moved and used in the immediate vicinity. The large pool refers to VALiDE SULTAN BEND, which, like other pools, feeds the Taksim Water System in Belgrade forest. Hydrological extensions continue outside the pool in the direction of Ataturk Library and match park 2 towards Hilton Hotel.
Asker Ocağı street is the lowest in the car park and is derided by the quality of the tree presence and the unhealthy tree top in the upper jeans of the park. The area, which is dense indoors and shading, gives the impression of a truly healthy piece of forest. This area belongs to the unobstructed world of children with its whole and suffers from informal relationships in nature. Game elements and areas will be in an irregular order. This grove, which is the place for being alone with nature, will be the starting point in learning large forest ecosystems in the north on a children's scale. Starting from the corner of this area, the sky ramp reaches the bridge first, then takes advantage of the shy openings left between the tree crowns and takes several laps and reaches the upper FRAME. During this ascension, the ecosystem within the tree pattern within a small piece of forest is monitored, informed and the upper urban platform is reached.
TAKSIM SQUARE
Taksim, the venue of the mass demonstrations, will continue to be the venue for all kinds of planned unplanned shows. All the equipment used here will be highly flexible, not to create a physical barrier to the exercise of urban furniture, reforestation, the right to object to water surfaces. The reflection pool in front of AKM (TOPUZLU BEND) is again a recable area on it. The green area in front of the pool is a dynamic area with continuous herbal activity throughout the year. Depending on the seasons, there will be herbal demonstrations. In summer, sunflower field, in autumn pots, leafy tree color swirls display, white and red-bodied woodlands in winter, cherry, erguvan trees in spring, onion plants such as shows are the area to be continuously seasonal demonstrations. During the hottest periods of the year, it is cubic, topography, monolithic, partgrass area that can enter all kinds of forms.The area of the same size, just below, is divided into all kinds of art. Ground painting, dance, sculpture performances, graffiti, etc. street performing arts activities can be done here. The last part in this zoist is the meeting area. People who make appointments meet under the canopy in this area. It is a walkable, shaded, bedtime wooded linear area that does not prevent crossings through which it contains the volume of soil required for topographical patterned zone tree plantings accompanying three different square areas. Thus, it will serve and to reforest the southern edge of the square with high greenless structures. The western side of the square is the end of the demonstration corridor at the end of the axle used from the Mecidiyeköy-Şişli-Harbiye-Elmadag line for parade outside Istiklal Street. This crossing is accompanied by grandstands on the west side of the park. Maksem's front overlooking the Republic Monument was famous for its water and light shows until the 1970s. The distribution of Taksim Water System to the lower neighborhoods of Taksim was generally carried out through this façade. In this sense, it is important to show the representation of this façade, which is the last place where water dissipates, through fair sharing. The concept of transparent reforestation here also establishes a relationship between Belgrade forests and the starting and destinations of ancient water. FRAME-AQUADUC TAKSİM
The elevated landscape structure, which frames Gezi Park under tree hill roofs, is first and foremost an urban landmark. The surfaces it has will collects a significant amount of water with rainfall. This collected water will repeat the duty of carrying water once undertaken by Bahçeköy Kemer using thirsty periods throughout the park. Although there is no legal problem in creating the north and eastern facades of the intercontinental hotel, the ideal thing is that the area within the boundaries of the park, once located Taksim Casino, will be brought back to the park in the future and a new function associated with the institutional-educational-cultural park will be settled instead of the hotel that will complete the construction life here. Thus, the Framework will be completed in full meaning CIRCULATION
İ
In addition to the current applications, the vehicle traffic flow has been cancelled on Mete street and in front of Atatürk Cultural Center. Gümüşsuyu street is planned to make a U-turn before AKM square and will flow in one way in the direction of Etap Hotel Sirselviler Street. The apartments on Mete street will use the street link of Inonu street – Miralay ŞefiK bey street. Those who come from Tarlabaşı boulevard and go from the ground to Harbiye will continue to use the same flow. A narrow return from the ground in the direction of Taşkışla has been cancelled. Asker Ocağı street is one way from Dolmabahçe to Talimhane. No vehicles will enter the square except in emergencies, including service buses. The area belongs to pedestrians with all. The elevated pedestrian-bike green belt flow to the Belgrade forest descends to the ground opposite the entrance of Metro-Gezi Park, Tarlabaşı Boulevard reaches the Elevated landscape corridor and reaches Yenikapı and Marmara sea with the Şişhane-Unkapan axis, or descends to the Golden Horn and returns to the Belgrade Forest by following the
Kirkçeşme Water Way course.
REFORESTRATION
The most important herbal element throughout Taksim is the trees. It is obvious that the unhealthy trees in Gezi Park are worn out by factors such as human, soil and hard surfaces in the habitat, the height of urban temperature caused by traffic routes. The choice of trees compatible with the right and problematic urban environment is essential. Fieldthere is no soil and water structure to prepare the environment for healthy growth of a tree throughout the
country. Therefore, special measures will be taken in areas thought to be soil. The first attempt will be made to connect the two different ecosystems in the square and extensions of the north forests.It should be discussed to protect young trees planted in addition with the idea that it will improve the environment. Very long-term ecosystem repair and parallel plantation and sensitive segments of the park need to be scientifically informed about ecological problems.
ART ACTIVITIES
Taksim square and its multinational environment have become the most important center for the development of the cultural life of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey. Today, the diversity artistic environment is thought to be represented in the whole park depending on the venues. With the planned organization, spontaneous demonstrations willl find themselves an environment and space. Although high-quality organized buildings where international events are held are currently being built, plenty of free lecterns and stage are considered in demonstrations and performances within the usualness and free order of daily life
The main inspiration of this study is the natural life cycle of the cause of the existence of the son. The concept of urban pastime described by the frameaquaduc structure and the Gezi Park Framework to be produced and the lower frames on many planes will be repeated as LANDART elements at the source of the water 25km north. This activite will be repeated every year and the Resistance of The Northern Forests of Taksim will be kept on the agenda with contemporary art LIGHTING Lighting in the travel park will be done indirectly and periodically so that it does not disrupt the biological rhythm of the herbal tissue, plants will be put into sleep at night. Lighting towards the sky face, lighting with high armatures will not be done. FRAME-TAKSIM AQUADUC structure will also meet the energy needs of the park with solar panel coatings. RECYCLING Although the stones used throughout the square are at high levels as quality, we believe that the dimensions, both flooring styles and the square's identity and multi-layered character, which are incompatible with the scale of the square, do not match with the same style in various important squares of Istanbul and the stories of thousands of years of historical city could not be processed in this context. Our project work aims not to ignore the material used, but to produce the permanent urban flooring chart of the city's most important square again to tell its story.Again, the existing urban furniture is extremely costly and very high quality. However, it cannot be used especially due to the sun temperature they contain in the summer heat. All these quality seating benches will be used in shaded areas. The high lighting fixtures throughout the square will be reused within the new layout of the park.The quality trees used in the current arrangement and in large pots will be used in nearby parks in areas where the streets and streets will meet the soil floors suitable for the future dimensions of the trees.
