This is a single stage Ideas Competition with the aim of identifying the best proposal of a Marketplace located in the centre of Istanbul, Turkey. In this city of trades and cultural intersections, we aim to present a compelling answer to the evolution of the marketplace typology, articulated with a public space which will help benefit the expression of the strong community felt in the site's neighborhood.
Marketplaces are brought to the discussion as centres of human creativity, interaction, economic activity, knowledge transfer and culture. Istanbul can surely provide an important discussion field about the future of markets - their present challenges, possibilities and innovations.
This Competition aims to generate a remarkable example of architecture that is able to host a multitude of functions, rescue the positive qualities of markets, create an authentic public space and is able to positively impact this specific community where the project is located. The site for this International Competition is located in the Kumkapi quarter inside the walled city of Istanbul, in the southern part of the peninsula.
This location enables a network of economic, social and cultural encounters. A strong feature of the location is the livelihood of the streets and the informal commercial dynamics. Culturally, this is a very diverse neighborhood, setting for a large Armenian immigrant community, being thus a fair representative of the city’s ethnic diversity.
