Located on a sloped site, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Street<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is designed as a community-based educational and social hub that brings together functions such as vocational training, small-scale production, and informal gathering.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the core of the design lies a multi-layered, semi-open \u201cstreet\u201d structure that extends parallel to the main road. While the terrain slopes perpendicular to the street&#8217;s orientation, the building itself is placed perpendicularly to the slope, maintaining flat, walkable surfaces within each level. These levels are connected through a combination of ramps, stairs, and elevators, ensuring full accessibility while offering a diverse spatial experience across different elevations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each floor is partially roofed, and the upper surface of each level serves as a semi-open street for the level above. This stacking system not only generates vertical continuity in the street experience, but also offers a nuanced transition between private, semi-public, and public spaces. Along this layered street, spatial units function as workshops, service areas (such as barbers or tailors), exhibition corners, and informal gathering spots.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">More than just an architectural solution, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Street<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> aims to create a micro-public sphere where people can participate in everyday production, education, and interaction. By reimagining the street as a vertical and layered social infrastructure, the project fosters neighborhood engagement and generates a dynamic community atmosphere that is simultaneously local, inclusive, and adaptable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1872\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-scaled.jpeg 1808w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-212x300.jpeg 212w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-723x1024.jpeg 723w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-768x1087.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-1085x1536.jpeg 1085w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563436_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0001-1446x2048.jpeg 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1873\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-scaled.jpeg 1808w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-212x300.jpeg 212w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-723x1024.jpeg 723w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-768x1087.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-1085x1536.jpeg 1085w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563435_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0002-1446x2048.jpeg 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1871\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-scaled.jpeg 1808w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-212x300.jpeg 212w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-723x1024.jpeg 723w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-768x1087.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-1085x1536.jpeg 1085w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdasberameri\u0307c_2623_563437_Bera-Meric-Cagdas-FS_page-0003-1446x2048.jpeg 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Street \u2013 Project Summary\u00a0 This project proposes an alternative public space that runs parallel to the fast-paced rhythm of urban life without being consumed by it.
