The proposed fluid design ensures urban continuity along the shoreline while offering a fundamental approach that integrates the city with the coast. Moving beyond a conventional narrative, the project achieves this through a consistent framework that shifts between architectural elements and landscape strategies, maintaining coherence from large-scale planning to detailed interventions. Within this context, continuity is established at different scales—at the urban level, it is reflected in the seamless presence of greenery, the preservation of historical texture, and the uninterrupted experience of water and views, while at a more localized scale, it manifests through pedestrian flow, the integration of bicycle paths, and the connection between transportation and walkability. The proposed focal points function as dynamic spaces that reinforce the overall concept, shaping their own characteristics through their relationship with the broader design. At the same time, the Haliç Sports Park seeks to repair and redefine the connection between the city and the water, introducing multifunctional ground uses. The elevation differences along the shoreline have been carefully shaped to serve as spaces for rest, observation, and gathering.
