A way to read the city

In the design, I would like to emphasize the journey on road as a method to exprience and read the city, like a zooming museum on the road. I want to expose those ignored and hidden urban fragments in movements as well as adding some interests to road journey.

The design would centers in Eminonu-karakoy and stretch in the water/railway/road. Traditional communities in Galata, abandoned factory and brokenly city wall and soon are focused. 

Movements on vehicles are not research purposes but tools to involve these elements in a reformed roadscape, eventually attract our attention when we move around.

Also, the complicated transit in Eminonu may also be reformed, not only make the routes clear but also transfer all the routes into journeys to perceive the surrounding historical area. 
 


This images shows that I would like to light the facade of traditional communities and attract the attention of passengers moving by.
