GENESIS

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

PHASE 1

PHASE 2

PHASE 3

Origin of the square / Inauguration of the park — The first steps towards the modern Taksim were started when the Republic Monument was unveiled in 1928. Over the years, additional urban plans were made, the crucial one being that of Henri Prost, who devised the plan for Gezi Park in 1940 (built). Built within the compass of square and park to the west was a whole new zone of residential structures with a markedly perpendicular grid. Also started apart from the major planning solutions was the construction of the first hotels, of which over the course of time there were to be more in this zone.

Expansion of the zone, pedestrianisation — Over the next 50 years, the development of the square was to be marked by emphatic construction along the edges (the Atatürk Cultural Centre, several big new hotels and so on). Also launched were the infrastructure projects of the building of Tarlabaşı Blv. and the pedestrianisation of the area. In 2013 there was a surge of protests because of the felling of trees and attempts to rebuild the barracks (which did not happen). The last building on the square was the great mosque, and a new AKM is now underway (with references to the historical structure).

Square, park and paths — The area of the brief has large dimensions, and in order to make sure it can be built, it is proposed it be attempted in phases. In the first phase the emphasis would be on the preparation of the basic infrastructure (water, electricity, geothermal water), paving of the square, the main paths and strips for pedestrians, as well as landscaping all the main green islands in the square (except to the north west). Also, to be built are the pedestrian fingers towards surrounding streets and context.

Gallery, bridge and attractions — The second phase begins with the execution of the most demanding layer of the project, which is particularly accentuated by the building of the large gallery space /lifelong learning hub to the west. The only large new architectural feature in the Parquare, the building is inserted unobtrusively into the park and is additionally lightened by the perforation of the atrium. Also to be built are the other attractions in the project area that will additionally enhance the quality.

Bridge 2 and Botanical Park — In the last phase, when the consolidation of the fundamental area of Parquare has been carried out — peripheral finishing touches are planned. The biggest operation is the formation of a botanical garden in the north east, a zone programmed for relaxation in nature and for learning about the vegetation of Istanbul and Turkey as a whole. A new long bridge to the botanical garden is planned, and the renovation of the existing bridge to the north.

POINTS OF IDENTITY

PARK

URBAN STRATEGIES

SULTANAHMED SQ.

PARK + SQUARE

UNIFICATION + BANDS

FOCAL POINTS

PARQUARE — To date, the square and the park have been handled as two close but distinct areas (emphasised in the different height levels). They have been the subjects of separate competitions, layouts, phases and approaches to urban design. We are, then, designing a space that will have a single and united identity, beginning as coexistence of park and square. We have branded it as the first urban design typology that integrates the two, the park and the square — the parquare. Some of the great squares of the world have parks as adjuncts, as separate, isolated zones (Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park, Times Square and Central Park) but in this design we are providing integration and complementation.

Strategy of unification and bands — instead of the previous fragmentariness, the space begins to be handled integrally on the square and by being grouped into linear bands within the park. The great undefined space of the square (acquired after the historical banning of traffic) is now handled with a single formal language and freed of all vertical barriers, the sharp boundaries between Taksim and Gezi Park are done away with, the Park gradually coming down to the square level in great slopes and cascades, while grouped lines of programmes are implemented in the park.

Attractions — circles, the acknowledged dominant formal emblem of the current square, circles that are a fomal element of the memory of the space, will become by further multiplication the epicentres of events in the whole of Parquare. The new circles are spaces of vertical communications, key focal points for big events, new contents, attractions for tourists or else covered spaces for bicycle parking. The landmarks are distributed according to the number of paths, the volume of pedestrian traffic and the number of intersections, and are located in zones in which the most intensive use is predicted. Activation points are additionally illuminated and are pronouncedly material as compared with the rest of Parquare.

21st CENTURY

TACTILE OCTOPUS

BUILT UP DISTRICT

A contemporary place for the 21st century — For the new Parquare to be positioned in the city in relation to the other great square — Sultanahmet (with its two historical mosques)— the emphasis is placed here on its contemporaneity, in parallel with a respect for and retention of some modern spatial points (fountain and monument). It will become the focal point of the city of the 21st century — for both its contemporary manner of using the space and the introduction of genuinely new technologies/applications.

Strategy of a tactile octopus — with its tentacles, that is, its passages of bridges and underpasses, Parquare reaches into the surrounding spaces that will now form a great integrated network of public spaces and create a continuity, and all the parts covered are activated so they should not be abandoned, remaining a part of the city that is neglected and run down.

Permanent / temporary — along the western edge of Gezi Park, development is planned to be sunken so as not to dominate the park, but still enabling interaction of the zone of the park and of the street and additionally thereby eliding the current split into totally separated spaces. Now strung all along Cumhuriyet Street will be art galleries, spaces of lifelong learning hub and a whole run of ramps and steps that enable a direct access to the park. Thus the development will be not only a space for commerce but an activator of the street and a link between nature and the city urban tissue, and to an extent the memory of the space of the historical barracks whose facades were turned to this side of Gezi Park. All that is introduced into the park is the light structure of a multipurpose pavilion, to be occupied by such features as a café, an open mini-library or the necessary hygiene facilities.

PLACE AS PLATFORM

ISLANDS OF REPROGRAMMING

LINES OF MOVEMENT

SQUARE

PARKQUARE

Physical and Digital Platform — We propose the newly devised space as platform liberated from its previous spatial barriers, now enabling large free gatherings. Parquare will become a physical platform for socialising and for the practice of public life. In parallel we propose the making of a digital application via which it will be possible to book parts of the park for socialising, organisation of events, open-air teaching, mini-theatrical events and concerts. Parquare will thus become a platform for inclusive, democratic and participatory public life. There are particularly many young people in Istanbul, the average age being below 25. They have grown up in the time of vigorous globalisation and the age of the internet and using the application will not present them with any problems. They will find it easy to look upon the square as a platform for the exercise of their civil rights and for interpersonal coordination through the virtual world.

2000 TREES Space of 2000 trees, 200 paths, 20 attractions — Parquare plans to retain the maximum of the existing natural part, introducing new paths and points of attraction to encourage users to use it intensively. In this way nature is not only preserved, but curated, an integral part of the planned improvements. At the same time, Parquare wants to create the feeling that the citizens are really participating in the growth and development of Taksim and Gezi Park, feeling it their own, making the decisions about it. We propose that zones or islands of the park be left, within which, in time, the inhabitants of Istanbul will be able to plant trees of their own (1300 > 2000). Total participation is enabled — the citizens will themselves make decisions about which trees to plant and when, and so not everything will be defined in advance by the decision of architects or city administrators. Istanbul is in permanent want of green oases, and this approach allows for the creation of the muchlonged-for nature within the dense texture of the city.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL SPACE Parquare as multi-dimensional space — instead of in the way in which the theme of square has been traditionally been perceived, as a flat, level, plane, Parquare is imagined as a space through several layers or floors, which gives it additional complexity, greater use-density and fully equal linkage of the hitherto covert underground parts with the above-ground surfaces.

Parquare as a new spatially uninterrupted whole k

Taksim Urban Design Competition

SPATIAL LAYERS

Strategy of islands and reprogramming — the existing high-quality points are preserved as green (square) and attracting (circular) islands. New islands of the archipelago with inserted contents are introduced as circular focal points that will become a part of the activation of the space. In this way the problem of the lack of contents is settled, for the newly injected programmes / circles are evenly distributed over the whole of the space, are designed in such a way as to involve all parts of society and for the activation of zones with no contents, often felt to be insecure if unprovided with programmes.

METROPOLITAN VERTICALITY Strategy of metropolitan verticality — on squares and parks, one-dimensional open spaces tend to be created, more appropriate to historical times. In order to achieve the dense and urban complexity of programmes, happenings and interactions that this square, one of the centres of a city of a population of 15 million, certainly merits, a complexity of vertical levels is introduced. There is indeed a multistorey complexity of buildings applied to Parquare, not, however, with development and privately owned structures but one that has a public-use character, a free-of-charge facility used by every citizen. Verticality is a social condenser that achieves density without architecture.

PRESERVING AND PRODUCING NATURE Strategy of preserving and producing nature — a greening in which all the inhabitants can take part is provided for, with the motto of preserve and produce nature. The dominant green parts of Istanbul currently to be seen from the air are the cemeteries, the city having a deficit of public greenery. For this reason zones with a potential for the planning of trees at some time in the future are foreseen, greenery also being inserted on the other vertical levels (−1 or +1). The inhabitants will thus learn how to share the space — not in just a small garden, but in one of the biggest public squares in Istanbul. This might seem to be but a small intervention, but instead of large new architectural undertakings into the square and park, we are planning the common growth of a common public space.

Different types of paths — currently there are tracks within Gezi Park and the pedestrian zone on the square, but without any clear directions of movement and frustrated by a mass of barriers. Strong indications of direction that create a density of pedestrian and bicycle traffic are proposed, emphasising the importance of the movement of users of the square. New lines of bicycle lanes, pedestrian paths, and bridge links. The basic division of lines of movement is into flat, strong strips, diagonal flat accents in the area with bridges (as continuation of the thrust of Tarlabasi Blv.) and opens up spaces of the square that provide freedom of movement and gathering. Movement through the park is made more feasible and accessible now with emphasised ramps, facilitating the use of public spaces by persons with special needs.

GRID OF GREENERY Continuity of the Past — a new grid has been formed evincing a sensibility for the memory of the space and the original design of the park, with maximum preservation of the historical matrix of grassed islands. The Parquare motto is “grow, don’t build”, reflected in the vigorous planting of new trees. It is trees and not buildings that will become the city-building catalyst for urban atmospheres, and provide the key identity for the whole project area. Preservation of greenery and planting of new trees is also a cost-effective approach to urbanisation and in a big city like Istanbul, giving public space a high quality branding, enabling it to become a sustainable ecosystem that will have a direct impact on CO2 emissions.

BLURRED BOUNDARIES Ramps, cascades and steps — through the mix of trees from Gezi and the strip of greenery that widens out to the south to Taksim, the borders between park and square are elided. The space of the project is a united whole defined by the experience of greenery and wide open spaces. The borders no longer have a hard height differentiation, rather, the descent of the park’s cascading greenery and ramps towards the square creates an unbroken connection, a continuity. Transitions from one spatial unit to another are not handled only as technical routes; the cascades are imagined as programme zones that enable events to be watched, on either park or square — the units are now open zones of visual interrelationship.

Square). Bicycle stations should be developed at sites shown on the map below. In the square area, racks for private bicycles should be added; they should be functional and enable bicycles to be securely locked. In the Inönü Street section that starts at Taksim Square, over a length of 280 m in the south-east direction, it is proposed that the thoroughfare be rebuilt by exactly determining the spaces for pedestrian, cycle and road traffic. In the existing situation, the road has sufficient width and the potential to become a green link between Square and Old City. Recommendation for work on the road is the use of the approach in which pedestrian and cycle traffic has the right of way over road traffic (located in the centre and at the side, as in the example of the Avinguda Diagonal of Barcelona).

The Asker Ocağı, Taşkışla and Mete Streets intersection needs to be totally reconstructed. In the current form there is not enough pedestrian surface at the crossing in the area of the pedestrian islands, which puts the safety of pedestrians at risk. Because the intersection has enough space for rerouting the carriageway and the creation of pedestrian islands, it is necessary to enlarge the pedestrian island of the eastern intersection approach so that a larger number of pedestrians can be there. In that case a pedestrian zone can be created and it would be connected with the facilities that lie to the north of Asker Ocağı Street.

Traffic concept — A total prohibition of traffic across Taksim Square refers to taxis, buses and minibuses, with the exception of emergency vehicles. Because of the significant amount of traffic and the fact that this is a main square and in the centre of the city, it is proposed that there be a significant introduction of cycle infrastructure to enable the sustainable development of bicycle traffic and to encourage the local population and tourists to use this sustainable mode of transportation. The development of a bicycle trail the whole of the western side of Taksim Square is proposed. In the whole area of the city, the introduction of a system of public bicycles is suggested, the station for which could be on Taksim Square. These bicycles to use could be electric, to facilitate movement up steep streets (streets that go from the Bosporus to Taksim

According to the plan, the landscape will eventually have 2000 trees, the objective being to elevate greenery density and to create a dense urban park to become the lungs of the neighbourhood and to reduce CO2. The shade area of Parquare will be increased, rows of trees along the edges of the project area will be introduced, and new trees will mainly be planted to the south of Gezi and in dotted fashion within the individual islands in the grid. There will also be inserts of new trees within the newly built structure to the west as well.

The introduction of the botanical garden into this competition project brings with it an additional layer of what is only representative greenery: the park will become an educational platform, telling of plant species and acquainting citizens, tourists, young and old with the green context surrounding them. In order to make it easier to be informed about the plant species, three types of vegetation plates are put in place, on which the information is given or can be accessed via the QR codes on them.

Additional recommendations — Preparation of a micro-level multimodal transport model — which will enable a better understanding of traffic flows and create the possibility for the testing of measures in order to be able to assess their effects in the wider area. Draw up a study of the situation in the space — through field research which covers transit through the streets it is possible to detect all the details important for the traffic context of the project and that cannot be discerned in photographs. Conduct a simulation of the measures — making use of the micro-level multimodal traffic model the proposed measures need to be tested for their effect to be defined. Pursuant to the results, it is possible to fine-tune the measures to obtain the maximum effect from them. Make a detailed analysis of the trajectories of vehicles, taking into consideration buses, trucks and all similar large vehicles. This analysis will allow the testing of the possibility of the transit of vehicles through intersections and around bends, the traffic still unfolding safely and without hold-ups for all the participants.

In the present day there is an increasing awareness of the need for zones arranged for pets, and it is useful for citizens to have parts that are fenced off for playing and for dog walking (noise, danger of bites and so on). The isolation of this park from the remainder of Gezi has one more functional benefit. The presence of dogs, and their habits have a deleterious and destructive effect on the roots and trunks of trees, and so it is advisable to have a special part defined for them alone.

In order to define the plant species to be planted by members of the public, to set the ratios of the individual species within the total greenery and to determine the timetable for planting for the whole of the project area, a division into zones has been conducted. Each one of these zones is accompanied by detailed data about the recommended flora, all of which is clearly catalogued in the vegetation plan. It is assumed that not all specimens of trees will thrive, and it is recommended that 120% new trees be planted (20% going to plants that do not take).

DESCRIPTION Removal of diseased specimens and the ones intersecting with fitness inventory. Space characterized by high trees only with no shrubs and ground layer due to the fitness and dog-walking functions. An exception to the rule are the strong line of rosemary hedge to the pedestrian walkway (enforced by a hidden fence) which strongly separates the park users with the pedestrians and smaller target groups of english laurel shrubs which hide certain points and programs. All plant material highly resistant to casual usage and dog urine components; easy maintenance.

Third out of the three botanical sections with beds themed to a semi-shaded garden which are positioned on parts along the paths and under the tree canopies. Beds contain perennial material that doesn’t reach a height of over 1 m ensuring open views. Protective hedging greenery along the road to the north.

It is positioned on the eastern side of Gezi Park and is defined by the educational beds with decorative effects (with lines of blooms and low shrubbery). Colourful decoration is reduced in the park as a whole, but this little zone in the vicinity of the children’s playgrounds is left, more as a venue at which children can learn the importance of planting and the possibilities of interacting with plants so that one day, when they too have the occasion to choose trees to plant in Parquare, they will have an understanding of how the whole process works.

Two kinds of bench and two kinds of lighting are applied, depending on their LED lighting location in the park or square. Benches 135 lm / w in the park are more solid, made of consteel pole crete with wooden strips for seating, while along the edges of the square there are lightly raised practically floating straight-line benches sometimes with solar panels as the seating surfaces. The lighting is upright and high or gently angled, and both are of matte stainless steel, incorporating LED lighting bodies with solar panels on the upper surface.

The temporary construction of the pavilions is planned to be light, skeletal, deployed modularly, the dimensions being able to be enlarged or reduced according to need. In parallel the purpose can be changed according to need, depending on the position in the park. The pavilions can be used either as service areas — a space with public hygiene facilities, with a box of park maintenance tools, or for holding the server of the technological wi-fi system of the park. Also in them can be public pop-up programmes, like the public mini-library, zones for sitting and relaxation or a small-sized kiosk. Ultimately, small-scale exhibitions can be held in them, and a screen can be placed on the façade. They can be used as café or confectioner’s, which will activate the larger surrounding zone.

LOOKOUT / STANDS Attention is drawn to the southern part of the park by the floating lookout point with views over the surrounding space, the mosque and the Taksim Republic Monument. Going through the lookout point is an attractive rounded staircase with incorporated stands that serve as platform for lectures, orations or street performances, with a stage setting of cascades in the background. The zone beneath the lookout point is also treated as an extension of the building, with public and cultural contents.

RECREATION PAVILION / FAIR PLATEAU

At the interface of square and park stretch highlighted cascades, large stands, as it were, suitable for rest, picnics, for just sitting down or watching events. Part of this tract is imagined as a space with various types of stands and with a water mirror that can unobtrusively isolate this zone, forming an inserted teatrino, the space for an outdoor lifelong learning hub, zones for performances by schools and university lectures (as extensions of nearby educational establishments).

In the part of the park closest to the surrounding existing residential structures, a multipurpose pavilion is planned for local fairs, for the Antiques Festival and for Children’s Week (sales of schoolbooks, exhibition of children’s drawings and so on). In one of the sub-divisions a dog-park will be arranged, and not far off table-tennis tables will be provided for, a pop-up open-air gym, and inside the pavilion it will be possible to have recreational contents for the population, such as yoga and fitness.

PUBLIC GALLERY / LIFELONG LEARNING HUB

INNER SQUARE / HEART OF THE PARK

The park is conceived as not only a space for relaxation and walking but also as an educational zone. Variously purposed and lightly constructed pavilions are inserted from place to place. One of them is intended to be a pop-up library, with mobile shelves and books donated by members of the public. In and around the pavilion, parts of Bookfest and the Beyoğlu Literature Festival can be held, and right alongside it Book Garden Nights for children or poetry evenings can be organised.

Although in the vicinity of spacious Taksim Square, Gezi has formed inside it a more intimate square with a temporary multifunctional pavilion with café, a surrounding space for sunbathing, relaxation and for the coffee-drinking ritual. Alongside this pavilion, on a small-sized square, smaller cultural events can be organised, such as a contemporary dance festival, open-air ballet performances, classical music concerts, a city jazz mini-festival or outdoor movie screenings / summer movie nights. The heart of Gezi is activated in this manner.

The only permanent built structure in Parquare rises to the west of the project area and is supposed to host an art gallery for globally important exhibitions, such as the Istanbul Biennial. LED displays for the digital presentation of art are provided for on the facade. In the interior, the space is variable, with moveable glass panels, capable of forming classrooms for the Lifelong Learning Hub (educational workshops, lectures, courses and days-long Science Festivals).

BOTANICAL GARDEN / STUDENT GREENERY C

MAIN STAGE / HEART OF THE SQUARE

The whole of the green area around Atatürk Kitaplığı will acquire a clear identity by the space being turned into a botanical garden with the introduction of new plants (suitable for the climate of Istanbul). In the immediate vicinity there are many tertiary education institutions, and it will become a green oasis of rest for the students during the school year, and with its newly introduced pavilions can be used for the various events and celebrations of the student societies. Also envisaged for the park are lectures about the vegetation of Istanbul and Turkey.

CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND / PICNIC ZONE

Islands of greenery on the eastern side of the park are outside the central pedestrian axis and contain places for lingering. Since part of Mete Street has been turned into a pedestrian corridor, this zone of the park has become a safe site on which to place children’s playgrounds and zones for games (with fixed components as well as temporary elements like trampolines). The children’s park is also a high quality picnic zone for families with children. By the playground there is one more lightly-constructed pavilion, with toilets and a confectioner’s.

There will be occasional mass events on Taksim: gatherings to celebrate sporting successes, demonstrations in the name of democratic freedom, entertainment events like music festivals, concerts by world musical stars, seeing in New Year and for the location of a winter village. The space is barrier-free, and the occasional pitching of a large tent theatre in which these events can be housed is planned. The whole square becomes the open-air ‘stand’ for the main stage (the surrounding streets can occasionally be the square’s extensions as well).

The diagonal bridge — Planned as an eye-catching pedestrian and cyclist diagonal, the bridge, in its width of 10 m, stretches from opposite parts of Gezi Park over a length of 117 m. Now, as distinct from the Stage 1 version of the bridge, the loadings and deflections have been elaborated in detail. As a result, the final structure of the bridge consists of five spans. In the longitudinal direction the bridge is arched, with a total height of 4.5 m at its apex. The assumed material within the calculation was the structural steel with a yield strength of 355 MPa (S355). The four main girders along the whole length of the bridge (with two additional girders in the first and fifth span) are assumed as HEA800 cross-sections, with a total height of 800 mm. For the lateral loading, the structure acts as a steel truss, which is placed between two main girders. Secondary elements of the truss, which are placed between the main HEA800 girders, are assumed to have a cross-section of SHS 160/160/5 (inclined elements) and IPE300 (transversal elements). For the piers to have the designed V shape, lateral girders with a cross-section HEA600 (with the height of 600 mm) are placed as braces, making a triangle with the piers. The piers itself are assumed to be made of concrete with a concrete compressive strength class of C40/50. The cross-section of the piers is rectangular with the dimensions of 100 cm x 40 cm, and matte metallic cladding is predicted as a concrete cover. The piers are fixed into the ground and articulated with the bridge in the longitudinal direction. The main load-bearing structure of the bridge is immovably connected with the piers and supported with a sliding bearing onto the abutments (i.e., at the ends). Finally, a light wooden cladding for pedestrians to walk on is provided for as a final layer.

Lookout point / Belvedere slab — One of the attractions in the space, the lookout point, is planned as a practically floating surface of relatively long spans (plan dimensions are assumed to be 38.6 m x 56.8 m). In order to assure the feasibility of the structure, the spans have been bridged with the steel truss structure of a total height of 1 m, placed at the distance of 9 m in the direction parallel with a shorter side of the slab in the ground plan. Each main loadbearing truss is supported by the two pairs of V-shaped piers made of the concrete with a concrete compressive strength class of C40/50. The pier cross-section is chosen to be the same as the cross-section of the bridge piers, rectangular cross-section with dimensions of 40 cm x 100 cm. Compared to Stage 1 of the project, twice as many piers have been brought in, and their orientation has been changed in order to improve the structure’s lateral stability. The truss girders are assumed to be made of structural steel with a yield strength of 355 MPa (S355). The upper and lower belts of the truss have a hollow rectangular cross-section with the outer dimension of 180 mm x 180 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm. The secondary girders, which are placed perpendicular to the main girders, are assumed as a steel Isections (IPE500) with the maximum span length of 9 m. The steel quality of secondary girders is also S355. Structurally, the secondary beams are assumed as continuous girders with a cantilever of the span of 3.95 m at one end. This cantilever is predicted for the edges of the belvedere to remain sufficiently attractive and spatially free of barriers at the border.

Explore the history

Organise events together

Via the application, citizens can participate in the growth of the park, making the decisions about which trees to plan and when. The app has a map on which it is possible to see where and when new trees have been planted. Also visible is the particular person to whom the tree is dedicated. Citizens can choose a tree species from a tree library. In this way citizens really do participate in the growth and development of Parquare and feel it their own. Currently there are 1,300 trees, and there is the capacity for citizens to plant another 700. In addition to taking part in spatial decision making, citizens can be app members and chat with other people in the community. They can discuss important topics respecting Parquare and register their votes. The app can also be used in the bike-sharing facility, with citizens scanning the QR code to rent a bike.
