BAGCILAR SQUARE RECREATION PROJECT

BAGCILAR SQUARE RECREATION PROJECT

This is an urban renewal project which transforms an illegally urbanized area into an urban square. 

There is a subway stop 32 meters under the ground. An underground shopping center is integrated to this station. On the ground, an urban square is planned. A large courtyard is designed in order to have sunlight access to the underground station.

The shops are located around the courtyard.
