In Bergama, architectural archetypes from Hellenistic, Roman, and Ottoman periods are reinterpreted within a contemporary framework. Existing paths, nodes, axes, and viewpoints are preserved to strengthen urban memory rather than replace it. Kevin Lynch\u2019s urban elements guide the proposal, respecting the irregular historical fabric. Grafting is used as a strategy to insert new architectural interventions that grow from existing movement lines. The revealed Selinos River and the ancient stadion axis form the main organizing spine, reconnecting movement, memory, and spatial identity across the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
