The sunset view behing the historical peninsula and the Maiden's Tower creates a sudden and unexpected spirituality making us feel that we are experiencing the extension of a historical continuity. Perhaps this is the reason the elements that spirituality has spread to daily life are so compotent and qualified in Üsküdar. A place where countless people have missed the ferry to listen to the call to prayer.

It is a museum with its spectators and announcements, and for this reason, it is a place to pass by. It acts just like the circulation areas we travel to see the artifacts in museums. This coast, which has been the corridor of the Bosphorus and the Historical Peninsula, is essentially an extremely unique piece of geography.

Two worlds pass at this unique point where the Bosphorus ends and the Marmara begins. Two cultures, two climates, two histories, two contexts, in summary, transition into two meanings. Here, all the memories accumulated throughout the history of the Bosphorus are sent off in Marmara. In Üsküdar, spirituality, tranquility, the opposite shore, and a scale of belonging that catch us tightly, suddenly leave its place to the 21st-century industrial world with an endless blue, port, machine aesthetics. The most interesting thing is that everything changes all at once and at a specific point.

We built our project on the crossings of two meanings on the coast.
