Interlocking Urban Space with the new Taksim-Park The new block structure with a total of ten courtyards links the urban space with the new Taksim-Park. The block structure corresponds well with the existing buildings, thereby creating new urban spaces. The courtyards are named like the linearly planted trees in Taksim-Park. This gives the whole area a new identity and provides a new quality of life for people using this space. The new courtyards invite visitors with gatelike openings to linger in the courtyards and in Taksim-Park.
Redefinition of the Entrance to İstiklal Street with a new Commercial Building Some existing buildings in this area are being built over. In the front part of the new building there is a small square that redefines the entrance to Sıraselviler Caddesi and İstiklal Caddesi.
New Squares with Recognizable Historical Names • new Taksim-Square • new Talimhane-Square • new Elmadağ-Square The new Taksim Square has almost the same proportions of Piazza San Marco in Venice. Two large "gates" from the Taksim-Square lead into the new Taksim-Park.
Taksim Wind-Tower The current symbolism of skyscrapers, demonstration of power, wealth, prosperity and capital is efficiently misused. The Taksim Wind-Tower is used exclusively to mark the new Taksim Square and illustrates the global, environmentally conscious rethinking. The captured wind ventilates the shops on the ground floor of the courtyard buildings, the new courtyards and creates a microclimate in the new Taksim-Park. Different platforms on some floors of the tower should be open to the public and serve as viewpoints for the surrounding area an the entire city.
New Forecourt, Hagia Triada Greek Orthodox Church The forecourt of the church is completely cleared from "parasitic" structures. The church is integrated into the urban space with its new forecourt via stairways. The section of the Sıraselviler Caddesi is added to the new forecourt of the church.
