Time and flows

This map shows when people begin to flow in different places of the area, while the next one shows when people begin to flow out of the these places.







The area becomes full of movements before 8.30am when office workers flow in. They are the first group of flows. In the next hour, the area would be full of sellers who open their shops and they are the second group of flows. With these shops open, tourists come. They are the third.

I'm thinking that the urban spaces may in Eminonu may be designed to be more flexible according to different groups of people.

As a istanbul has a tradition of building informal structures and street activities, so maybe these groups of people can be involved in a process of building instant urban spaces in their movements. The results of this process may be give the people who come in the following period of time a different experience of the same area.
