“City rooms” calls for an interpretation of openness in Sirkeci while revitalizing the area behind the Sirkeci train station, a landmark for the site. This project stitches the city walls and bastions that surround the area into the plot. It conceptualizes the bastions in two types, solid versus porous, and utilizes them as cores or passages based on their definition as infills and considers the linear spatial volumes in between as city walls as a response to that. It combines a typological approach with a program that rooted in the site’s history, printmaking.
