Building A Community

Antalya Konyaalti coastline rehabilitation project has been revealed by Ozer\Urger Architects in collaboration with Tugay Architects in Turkey as part of a national architectural competition.

The 100 hectares project has various phases which include The Mediterranean Avenue, Olbia Square, Museum Square and a beach park. The main drive of the project was to reduce the domination of the highway dividing the coast and settlement behind it. For this purpose, a series of thematic focal zones were created between the port and the museum to diversify the city’s existing hub system on the western coast. Another goal of the project was to strengthen the First specialised landscape magazine in the middle past relationship of the residential neighbourhood with the coastline. The recreational, cultural and sporting activities offered to the residents of the settlements were added to the project along the coast for this purpose. The pedestrian-friendly vehicle traffic, as well as the infrastructure for better public and bicycle transportation, was established while maintaining the existing vertical and horizontal connections in the area.

Architectural proposals that provide accessible and perceivable space for all types of users have been developed and the coastline has been reprogrammed with multiple and mixed uses including recreation, sports and cultural activities. Urban landscape elements are designed as modules with different functions. Urban furniture, shadow elements, activity points, water and plantation landscaping elements that also provide seating and reclining functions are placed within the hard, semi-hard and soft landscape surfaces.
