Info
THE UNIQUE RESIDENTIAL FABRIC OF KONYA WAS REINTERPRETED WHILE PRESERVING THE HISTORIC STREET ALLEYS THAT HOLD SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL VALUE. THE TRADITIONAL STREET TEXTURE, CHARACTERIZED BY TWO-STORY RESIDENCES ALONG EXISTING STREETS, WAS REVITALIZED. A COURTYARD-BASED ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH WAS EMPLOYED TO SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATE THE NEW RESIDENCES WITH THE HISTORIC URBAN FABRIC. THE URBAN TRANSFORMATION PROJECT WAS CAREFULLY DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN THE CITY’S LOCAL CHARACTER, INCORPORATING NEW GREEN CORRIDORS, RECREATIONAL AREAS, AND SOCIAL FACILITIES TO ENHANCE THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT.
