READING THE CITY

Studio

SITE:
Archaeological Museum atop the first hill of Istanbul

PROGRAM:
A structure that responds to the experience of Istanbul as it can be viewed, and experienced from a singular location within the city.
Perspective lines are drawn to a collection of sites which determine
the geometry of the
architecture and how the
occupant may view the city. The structure incorporates the Gulhane Park adjacent to the museum, allowing for
rooftops and elevated platforms to become a vertical extension of green space.
