OPERATION CARCASS

description: Europan 7 competition, Istanbul Turkey

design team: Alexandra Stratou, Laios Vittis

year: 2005

Proposal for the Regeneration of Zeytinburnu, an area that was scheduled for demolition, due to earthquake hazard, near the airport of Istanbul. The dense area, characterized by two storey derelict mixed use wooden buildings used to be home to a thriving weaving community, hence the proposal is organized around the weaving of different road typologies to create a basic infrastructure that can then be completed with infills constructed by the future inhabitants.
