THE AREA OFANDTAKSIM HAS LOSTA PLACE ITS CHARACTER HAS BECOME WHERE NOBODY WANTS TO SPEND TIME ANYMORE. ITBECOMING LOST THEA PLACE NATUREOFOFPASSAGE, A PUBLICWHERE SPACE,THE HISTORICAL EVENTS DO OFNOTTHEPLAYLOCAL A ROLE ANYMORE. THE HABITS COMMUNITY OF SPENDING TIMEOR TOGETHER OUTSIDE, HAVING A DRINK GOING DURING FOR A PICNIC TO THE PARK, FOR EXAMPLE RAMADAN OR BAYRAM, ARE NO LONGER VISIBLE. THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE SQUARE HAS SLOWLY BEEN SHADED BY THE COMMERCIALISATION OFMONUMENT, THE SURROUNDINGS. APART FROM TAKSIM NO SIGNIFICANT ELEMENT HAS REMAINED UNALTERED. THE ATATURK KULTUR MERKEZI ,AKM. THE LANDMARK OF THE SPACE AND THE FACADE KNOWN THROUGH THE PICTURES OFDEMOLISHED. THE TAKSIM PROTESTS, HAS BEEN THE LOCALS DO NOT FEEL REPRESENTED BY THE NEW CHARACTER OF THE SQUARE. THEREFORE, THEY AND WEREATTRACTIONS FORCED TO INLOOK FOR NEW VENUES OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY.

SCENARI OS

Based on the interviews we did with different local actors we developed a scenario of possible change coming from the community. These social interventions generate the design through a quite natural process, that will take place in several stages. In order to clarify those stages we developed a storyboard narrating the three moments of past - present- future of Taksim from the perspective of the different actors. Our intervention is a starting point and requires the action of the citizens and the
