İstanbul Your Golden Horn Coasts Design Competition (2nd Region) | 1st Prize
The project, which won the first prize in the "Istanbul Is Yours – Golden Horn Shores Design Competition" for the Balat-Eyüpsultan coastal strip, covers a total area of 230,000 square meters. One of the most significant parts of the project, the "Golden Horn Sports Park and Public Space," has been constructed and opened for public use.

The proposed fluid design ensures urban continuity along the coastline while offering a fundamental approach that integrates the city with the shore. The project transcends a cliché narrative by implementing this integration through a consistent approach that shifts between architectural elements and landscape strategies, from macro to micro scales. Within the project's context, the notion of continuity is realized on multiple levels. On an urban scale, it encompasses the continuity of green spaces, historical textures, and static landscape elements such as "water" and "scenery." On a smaller scale, it ensures pedestrian continuity, the seamless flow of bicycle paths, and the harmony between transportation and pedestrian interactions. The proposed focal points serve as action zones that enrich the overall design, deriving their unique characteristics from their specific locations within the broader framework.

The Golden Horn Sports Park aims to repair and reestablish the city-water relationship while proposing multifunctional ground uses. The elevation differences along the shoreline have been shaped to serve as areas for resting, observing, and waiting.

The water meeting point, developed during the competition phase, has been envisioned as a space where uninterrupted transitions converge and the movement of water can be observed depending on seasonal changes. Additionally, the historical bridge remnant has been preserved and transformed into a viewing point through a structure, ensuring its protection by avoiding any direct mounting.
