manifesto Streets
are not just empty areas in a town which are simply leftovers beside buildings, or random places that you can walk on by. They contain all kind of activities, like standing, thinking, resting, singing, playing, in short everything which increases the quality of life and they are the arteries, which feed the city and its environment. For the equality of individuals, the activities happening in the streets should not be physically hindered by
private properties. The Susuz Dede Park project is stonewalled by private properties;
despite its position in a seaside city, no sea scent can reach the park and its height difference hinders access to the park, for these reasons the
idea of
equality
is still far away.
That is why the design decision supports the free existence of activity locations in places where the ground connection continues. The reason of existence of every
activity space, roads and micro scale squares to be realized at the ground, we step on, must begin with improving the housing in the environment. Every living unit –room-, formed according the new system, should be the
for the realizing activity.
ideal place
Being the ideal place means it should offer the facilities to the realizing activity within, which are appropriate for this activity. Appropriateness, just like possible relativity with material at the location, could be defined as forming of dark and light, positioning in trees or like leaving a depression at clear weather. The reason for being the activity of these experiences lived in units which are defined as ideal, being
unique and personal, separates the home from housing. To create these conditions, the house – reaching activity centers with different qualifications outside- acts as an entry point, a threshold, a filter, a reading space or painting space completes the quality of home.
