Information
ATATÜRK SPORTS CENTER
We are in a very unique part of the city where various layers of memories coexist and the existence of Uludağ, which lasts for tens of kilometers, fades to form a dreamy background. In the memory of the city, there is a code that is highly identified with sports, due to both the old stadium and the old sports hall which once stood on the project site.
Although we believe it is difficult to change the regional adjectives in the minds of the locals, it is also easy to integrate new planning strategies. In this manner, if we dig this area a little, we feel like some sports remains will come out from under the ground, at least the ones in the memories.. Therefore, setting up the place correctly constitutes the intellectual spine of our project.

SETTING UP THE GROUND -_|
Our design creates a qualified interface between the city and the park by creating a sports axis in the middle. By attaching secondary axles to this main pedestrian spine, we aimed to make the area as lively and a part of daily life as possible. This axis defines an uninterrupted line between the Park and the street, supported by consecutive public spaces of different programs. The layout also connects to the existing Garden landscape and forms an integrated relationship with it.
The fact that the program layout occupies a relatively small percentage of the project area, allows the site to be designed as a sports interface. Our proposal is to reveal the sports codes that already have a place in the minds of the urbanites and re arrange the spaces in such a way that a strong connection between the Garden, the Park and the Sports hall is established.
A delicate interface between the park and the city
