1.1 AUTHORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VISION Taksim Urban Square and Park, in tthe heart of the City of Istanbul, is not only urban square but a larger vision encompassing past and future,people and culture, nature and art. It is not about displaying but inviting in, going away from the simple sontemplation to suggest participation and interactions. The essence of nature, history and art can be brouth in much deeper ways. Away from the conventional urban square and park, wechose to let architecture cradle the visitors and daily users along their way. No clear path, pedestrians meander around the park, invading the space like a contunious flow whose intensity varies along with the days, just as green permeates space, bouncing around surfaces, running along streets. Taksim Urban Square and the park is also the vision of a 21st centruy urban place, highly integrated to the environment by all means. Ecologically friendly as well as aesthetically, fitting carefully to the landscape and soul of the park, the vision of the 21st century put the emphasis on the act of meeting and sharing, regardless of the reasons that brought people to this place; to leisure, promanade, perform, play or work , everone has a place to teach and to learn. The project, by its architecture qualities, by letting the environment penetrating its heart, becomes a symbol of today*s open borders, pysical or electronic freedom of travelling and communicating all around the world.

1.2 SITE ANALYSIS

The field of project is one of the best-known focuses of Istanbul. In addition to its history and function, Taksim Square is a very important public transportation hub, which reinforces this feature. The transfer center function ensures that the study area can be reached easily from different parts of Istanbul. Due to its location, Taksim Square is within walking distance of the coastal area and Kabatas Pier. This shows that the square has strong relations even with the Anatolian Side. Although strong transport relations affect positively to square for meeting and socializing. Especially there is a heavy pedestrian flow from Istiklal Street and towards the street. One of the important issue that considered in the design is density of pedestrian users, and the elements in the square are arranged to distribute this density on the square surface evenly. In addition, one of the important functions around the square is tourism, accommodation areas. Especially Talimhane region and big capacity hotels cause the concentration of tourists in the square. This shows us that the square is also one of Istanbul’s gates to abroad. However, Talimhane region cannot establish an effective relationship with the square, although it has a facade and the intensive vehicle road in between is taken underground. This functional and visual disconnection is one of the important problems as it forms the western border of the square. One of the issues in square design is to strengthen this relationship. The high density of local and foreign tourists in and around the square is not only due to accommodation areas. The historical identity of the environment, monumental buildings that can be accessed from the square on foot, museums, art centers and commercial areas also increase the use of tourists and art lovers around the study area.

Neighborhood residents such as Tunnel, Cihangir, Galata, Tarlabaşı and Harbiye around the square, as well as visitors from outside the region for eating and drinking venues constitute the night population. However, in recent years, the region has lost its popularity and importance as a result of the change of quality and / or closure of culture, arts and eating and drinking venues, and security problems have arisen in certain regions. The provocative use of the square with a design based on culture, art and recreation will be effective in the revitalization of the environment in overcoming such problems. This policy decision will also be supported by office workers and higher education students who are day users of the square.

BASIC PRIBSIBLES IN URBAN DESIGN APPROACH A successful public venue in the field of competition is focused on the following principles. At the beginning of these criteria, the location of the place and thinking; designing the square as a focal point; accessibility of the square for all; user comfort; flexible and space design principles come. - Protection And Development Of The Image And Ä°dentity Of The Place In order to ensure the integrity of identity, which is one of the most important elements in design, the element of integrity is observed in the flooring, urban furniture, forms and materials used. At the same time, in order to strengthen the identity of the place, viewing terraces where the monuments can be watched were designed to increase the visibility of identity spaces. - Designing As An Activity And A Goal To Be Reached In addition to the existing park, transportation and recreational uses of the square, culture and art points and sensory spaces in the park, open area activity areas for young people are proposed. - Providing Accessibility To The Square And The Environment The workplace is a highly accessible area with public transport facilities. On the other hand, pedestrian accessibility has also been provided by providing safe routes and comfortable flooring in pedestrian and wheeled pedestrian access. - Ensuring User Comfort Safe, guiding spaces, wheelchairs for wheeled pedestrians, strollers, comfortable floor coverings and ramps for passengers with wheeled luggage are designed. Flexible Design, Sustainable Solutions Sustainable ecological solutions in the field, especially bicycle and scooter, bicycle parks, drinking water points have been proposed.

1.3 CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMS ''DESIGN THE EDGE''

Respect to nature, history, and people

We don't touch the inside of Gezi park basically, because it has already rich vesitation, history, and also loved by people.The problem is only the edge. Because of the existing topography the level of Gezipark is far from the city ground, and also less function and place for people on the edge. It reduce the relationship between the park and the city.

EXISTING Gezi Park can not be part of square because of its topography

1.3 CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMS PLACE FOR PEOPLE AND NATURE The extended and spreaded ground provides multiple and various space, which can be a place for not only for people but also for nature.

Extended ground with greens which has same vesitasion and scale of space makes place for people on and under it. Interior space also can be put, and provide some function and activities. The place on the edge connect city and the park strongly in the sense of landscape, various activity, atmosphere, and also views. Many various shape of particle of ground that we call 'island" spreads around the site. It makes space under it as a roof, and it provides various functions all around the site. It's a kind of device to activate multiple activity and rich landscape around it.

1.3 CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMS New Topography on the Edge The existing ground around Gezipark is slightly comlicated as geography. Some part has 4 or 5 meter gap but some part has less than 1 meter gap from the city level. It makes people feel distance especially around the higher gap. We focused on this characteristic geography. Taking advantage of it, we design various sections on the edge of the park, and make many type of relation between suroundings and itself. Extended ground makes space on it or sometimes under it, or makes moderate hill as landscape which is as extention of one of Gezi park. Around the part of lower gap, it provides natural place for sit on. The new topography on the edge is more friendly to people who comes around the site.This variety of space can embrace all deferent people in the city.

ROOF-SCAPE:PARTICLE OF FOREST / ROOFS IN THE CITY Allowing to be seperated events but also feeling togetherness and belong the areaand society. In our proposal, basically we make space by using roof (can be also called as extended ground). Roofs make space for people and it can devide space, but still open in the sense of view, air and accesibility. In other words, Roofs devide but connect space. We focused on this way of making space and applied to this huge site, to devide into smaller spaces but still open and connected each other. Roofs gently devide the square into some groups which has different character each. For example, Art space, Monument space, market space, etc. These each program are defined by surrounding situation. And roofs spread around the site and cover some existing functional points: exit of station, bus stop, notice, etc. The roofs are all different shape but have all same design code, which makes sense of community for people. Very huge square but people can feel same atmosphere because of this roofs.

1.3 CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMS Extension of the park / Make intimate space in huge urban square Now in the present situation, the square doesn't have a scale for people. It's too huge, no reference points for people.

To make intimate space in the huge site, small particles of the park are spread around, which is combined with furniture. Small particles will be a reference point. People can feel intimacy with trees and furniture, and they can find a place to stay and live. And also some lamps works as furniture too for people to sit on. From small one to bigger one, all new structure are designed for people to feel friendly.

This site has deep and complicated history, and some of the remains are still left as monumental object around the site. And also a lot of big and old trees exists especially in the Gezi park. Additionally, here the site is a kind of hab of transportation system in Istanbul, and various region exists around the site. It's very comlicated situation in the center of the city. Our proposal idea is very respectful to the history and the existing situation. The winding edge avoids old monumental stairs. Around the democracy monument roofs keep the view to it. The material of new structures are the same one of existings. And the shape of every roofs is defined by existing trees or transportation or people activity. All form is reaction of context, which make it Keep the view to monument

respectful to history and existings.

The area embracing all its corners which is making easir to the acces from complicated neigborhood connections of the city center. North of the park, there is beautiful water monument where touristic accomodations are highly dense. Corner cafe with its stairs and youth park allows to embrace site and welcoming to its users.

Public Library not just its location but its topography, plantation is very rich. In existing situation we see that despite of being public good it is all surrounded by walls. In first stage of our design we proposed glass walls but in htis phase we belive it is worthed to remove boreder walls of the library to make it more accessible and inclusive to the Taksim. Borders are openned, and intension is merging this park with GEzi park. Pedestrian wayis widen and we believe it will be more safety to walk along the library.

1.5 LANDSCAPE DESIGN CONCEPT: LIVING MEMORY

UNDER SHADE: People lived a simplistic and rustic life in the past. After each simple summer dinner, families gathered underthe natural shade of large trees. They listened to elders talk about the ancients, played the violin and began conversations, it was the way for families to connect and engage SPIRIT OF GEZI IN HISTORY: Conceptof the park was watching nature and finding calmness in the city life. Gezi Park is important zone to find peace and silence, in very center of the park. Poeple in highly urbanize city life, they need leisure time and peace of mond. Thats why we keep the Original idea of the Park and didnt prefer to put different activities inside park. Sipping tea under tea, or bird watching, listening chirping birds are priceless .

EXISTING TREES CAREFULLY REPLACE IN THEIR CLOSE ZONES. AND NEW TREES ARE ADDED AS EXTENSION OF THE PARK THORUGH URBAN GROUND.

PLANTATION

For the society in urban Istanbul, planting is not for decoration, but also to be the key impression of the city. Thus, landscaping for this site will continue and highlight the overall impression of the city, the “Living Memory Under the Shade” and “GEZI / Promanede in city park” concept into the design.

1.8 TECNICAL DESIGN 1.8.1 SUPPORTING STRUCTURE

The plan is to randomly arrange columns on an organic free-form roof. Structural type is steel frame. It has a rigid frame structure. The columns will be steel pipe with a circular cross section, and the rigidity of the stakes will be increased to increase the seismic load. It becomes possible to effectively and heavily resist. The span is basically about 6m and supports the planting zone. It will be about 4.5m at the part. The roof beams are triangular to connect the stigmas to randomize the pillar layout. Arraged to form a shape mesh. The beam is planned to be H shaped steel with a height of about 350 mm. Katsura beam connection. The joint part will be a column though, and a through diaphragm thicker than the beam flange will be provided. Existing underground structure. Since it may exist near the surface, the pedestal is an exposed pedestal and is directly anchored to the existing underground structure. Plan to do. Deck slabs are installed on the roof, and concrete ensures sufficient rigidity. However, the vibration due to walking etc. is suppressed. The structure can be divided into three zones: the vertically floating volume, the transparent ground floor, and the reinforcement of existing underground. The floating volume (so called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) is defined as a series of bow string shaped trusses (marked in blue and red on the structural diagram) acting 3-dimensionality within the shape to contribute to structural efficiency. Both upper and lower layer structural frames are comprised of steel frames curved 3-dimensionally following the architectural curve. Even thoughboth layers have organic openings, simplified orthogonal steel frames can easily adjust to accomidatehe opening locations. Also, to reduce of the weight of the structure, composite slab is used for a rigid diaphragm against lateral load. As the result of bow shape structural analysis, the floating one could omit the diagonal frame and minimize the nominal steel column dimensions to reduce its weight. Since the reinforced shear walsl are situated far from the centroid, a Transparent Glass Wall (TGW) is proposed for floating structure. This TGW is an unit with plank glass and perimeter steel frame and Oil damper. On the ground-floor, the floating volume is supported by thin, freely positioned columns (mimicking the trunks of the surrounding trees) and a reinforced core clad with reflective material to keep the transparency of the ground floor.

Reinforcement of undergorund existing structure Reinforcement of existing columns: As a method of reinforcing existing columns, there is a method of winding reinforcing materials such as steel plate, carbon fiber, and concrete on the surface of existing columns.

1.8 TECNICAL DESIGN 1.8.2 MEP CONCEPT Drainage and reusable water supply

Drainage from the building is led to the septic tank installed in the park. The wastewater after the primary treatment is stored in a reuse water tank (at this point, the water quality is equal to rainwater). Pump up and filter from the reuse water tank and reuse as toilet flush water for public toilets. Drainage from museums, information centers, and cafés is equal to the amount of water used in public toilets. All public toilet flush water can be covered by the recycled water. Sewage, By reusing the treated wastewater on the premises, the only wastewater that flows into the public sewer is the wastewater from the public toilet. As it does not change from the existing situation, the load on the existing sewer will not increase. Rainwater, Rainwater is collected by pavement material that can be infiltrated and stored in a rainwater tank. In addition, rainwater tanks will be distributed throughout the site to actively store rainwater and use it for watering green areas in the dry season. If watering is required, install a soil generator and a moisture generator in the green area, and control the need for watering the green area wirelessly with a moisture sensor. A green space watering system that uses rainwater and does not rely on electric power using a moisture generator. Drinking water. Drinking water will be supplied to the new buildings as required. Also, drinking spots will be installed at various places in the park. The drinking fountain was also installed in the former water distribution facility and is a mark of the history of this place. It can also contribute to the environment while reducing the consumption of PET bottle beverages. A water purifier is built into the drinking spot to ensure the quality of water that can be drunk directly. Rainfall data JAN

Wind-power generation（Urban type） It is designed to prevent noise caused by blades and collision accidents such as birds, which is a problem of wind power generation.

When the cylindrical column receives wind and vibrates, the linear alternator system operates and electricity is generated. A generator is mounted on the mast that is fixed to the ground Solar power Install photovoltaic power generation devices suitable for places in buildings scattered around the park. ・Roof area type(Roof material integrated type) As it is integrated with the feature material, it fits beautifully. Although it looks the same as a normal roof, the power generation efficiency is equal to that of a general panel, so it is possible to secure a sufficient amount of power generation. https://www.gantan.co.jp/efforts/%E3%82%BD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC/ ・Glass panel with cells like art A product in which each small cell of photovoltaic power generation is colored and combined with glass to create a design. When installed on a wall, the efficiency drops slightly, but it is possible to combine the shade effect on the glass surface with power generation. Power generation glass panels can be installed in various designs, such as art walls and cafe outer walls. The designs can show trees, vegetation, etc.

DRY MIST FROM RAINWATER COLLECTION Pictured above is the latest device that produces an artificial mist, called “Dry Mist”. You can find them in large cities such as Tokyo, where the heat rises easily due to a lack of urban open spaces. This device cools you by creating a latent heat of vaporization when the mist evaporates, which contributes to lowering the atmospheric temperature. Although it is called mist, it immediately evaporates, so it doesn’t get people wet. The pioneer of this technology is Japanese, and "Dry Mist" is a counter-measure technology for Japan’s characteristic heat. The important thing here is that the water that is used is not tap water, but so called "Secondary Usage Water" - water that has already been used once, such as the left over water from baths or laundry, collected rainwater and the like. From an environmental and economical perspective, reusing the water in this way is both cost effect and eco-friendly.

The place guarded by AI

Rather than monitoring people and places, various sensors will be installed to keep an eye on people and places 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and a system that uses AI to analyze the data will be introduced. The entire AI system will be called TaksimAI from now on. The entire area is monitored by a number of AI cameras, which recognize people, animals, and objects reflected in it (1. Object recognition). In addition, they also analyze the movements of people and determine whether anyone is acting suspiciously and flinching, whether anyone is in trouble, whether dangerous objects have entered the area, etc. (2. Behavior analysis). If such a person or object is detected, determine the degree of danger and calculate the area's current and near-future level of danger (3. Danger Level Estimation). If the danger level is determined to be high, the system uses various means (e.g., super-directional speakers, light, messages to smartphone apps, etc.) to warn people in the area. At the same time, notify the security of the square and have them implement the security action immediately. By publicizing via the web and other media that the place is being watched at all times, it will be made known to the public that this place is safe and difficult to commit crimes, and it will grow into a place where people can interact, create and appreciate art in a safe environment. The plants in the entire plaza are grown and managed by AI and are watered appropriately. In addition to creating a soundscape that is appropriate for each season and time of day, it also creates a soundscape that gives a sense of future weather and human density, and naturally encourages people to change their behavior in the area. technical elements H/W: Camera, microphone, temperature, humidity, gas and other sensors, and a super-directional speaker Object recognition technology using Deep Learning (YOLO V4, V5) Skeletal Estimation Technology (OpenPose) and Behavior Identification Technology using Deep Learning Acoustic Analysis and Identification of Abnormal and Dangerous Sounds Using Deep Learning Risk Estimation by Reasoning

It learns the brushstrokes, colors, tones, etc. of various existing artworks, and can convert the landscape or any video or photograph at that moment into the taste of the learned artworks. Not only the still images, but also the temperature, wind, sound, etc. that change in real time are converted and continuously reflected in the tone of the artwork. For example, the wind conditions in Tokyo, Japan, can be constantly displayed as an art piece, and we can continue to generate and present installations that give a sense of the region.

4.01 Aspects and Narratives of Identity

To realize identity, the urban approach is primarily aimed to develop the recreational identity of the square. The valley park function of the Prost Plan and its integrity have not been preserved today, the green area has been expanded towards the square, referring to the fact that the area is one of the symbol places of the environment, nature, and tree protection movement. This principle will also positively affect the microclimate in the paved area. The recreational function of the space is preserved as well as the ceremony and celebration area, the south of the park’s stairs is designed as a ceremony/concert area on special occasions, and the upper level of the stairs is designed to allow use as a stage. Thus, the identity of the ceremony area and celebration area of the square has been maintained. Taksim Square, which is one of the gates of Istiklal Street, had a special identity with its cinemas and theaters in the past, and we lost most of the culture/art venues during the process of closing the cinemas and the reconstruction of the AKM, but even now space preserves this identity. In order to strengthen art and cultural identity, arrangements that will make it attractive to reach Lütfi Kırdar International Congress and Exhibition Center and Cemil Topuzlu Harbiye Open Air Theater on foot, which is 800 meters walking distance, have been envisaged in order to strengthen the relationship with other cultural venues in the vicinity. In addition to these, in order to support the artistic identity, small spaces for artistic activities are designed in the square and sensory spaces that will be the extension of cultural and artistic activities in Gezi Park. The pedestrian area has increased with the taking of vehicle roads to the underground in Cumhuriyet Street, which also has a transportation identity with the function of a public transport transfer center in the urban space. However, this doesn’t increase the comfort of pedestrian access, and the quality of the space in the area, which was not designed correctly. Moreover, the large empty open space could not assume the identity of a city square. In order to ensure the integrity of identity, which is one of the most important elements in the design, the element of integrity is observed in the flooring, urban furniture, forms, and materials used. At the same time, in order to strengthen the identity of the space, observation terraces were designed to aim to increase the visibility of vistas, and monumental buildings such as Aya Triada Church were designed. In recent years, new arrangements have been aimed to create the square again, which has no function beyond being a transportation and meeting point. However, Taksim is a lively space that lives 24/7. In this context, supporting the identity of Beyoğlu’s art and cultural center in the square, it is seen that the square has a very cosmopolitan user, although it is perceived as the place of tourists and young people when the identity of the square is examined. In this project, where the concept of design for everyone is reflected in the space, not only tourists and young people but also the elderly, disabled, and children who are living in the surrounding residential areas. Ramps, sitting, listening areas, playgrounds, infrastructures, and drinking water referring to Taksim’s maxem and historical identity. fountains were designed. The transportation function of the place and the identity of the transfer center and meeting point were not ignored, spaces and urban furniture were designed to provide convenience for users who use the square for transportation and meeting purposes. Taksim Square was designed as a must-see city square and a safe, attractive activity area living 24/7 with the forms, technology, and materials used in the design.

4.02 Urban Identity

ROOF SCAPE - Place For Everyone and Nature In our proposal, this square can be one big space and also can be some separated smaller spaces according to situation. This can embrace not only scheduled activity but also unexpected events. Basically each space are devided by roofs and trees gradually, so people can decide how to use the space. It's totally free but defined gently. For example, one of the space is basically used as art event, but people can use all space for art in the case of special big event. People are active to choose how to use there. In our proposal, basically we make space by using roof (can be also called as extended ground). Roofs make space for people and it can devide space, but still open in the sense of view, air and accesibility. In other words, Roofs devide but connect space. We focused on this way of making space and applied to this huge site, to devide into smaller spaces but still open and connected each other. Roofs gently devide the square into some groups which has different character each. For example, Art space, Monument space, market space, etc. These each program are defined by surrounding situation. And roofs spread around the site and cover some existing functional points: exit of station, bus stop, notice, etc. The roofs are all different shape but have all same design code, which makes sense of community for people. Very huge square but people can feel same atmosphere because of this roofs.
