Located between Hunat and\u00a0Sahabiye, two historically significant districts in the\u00a0center\u00a0of Kayseri, this project investigates how fragmented urban layers can be reconnected through a contemporary public space strategy.\u00a0The proposal builds upon the concept of Layered Transition, which examines the loss of spatial continuity across different urban scales. Rather than introducing a single architectural object, the project develops the Pause Corridor,\u00a0a sequence of interconnected public spaces that encourages movement, encounter, rest, and everyday social interaction.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beginning at the Sanat\u00a0Melikgazi\u00a0Cultural\u00a0Center\u00a0and extending to the\u00a0Sahabiye\u00a0Bazaar Area, the corridor transforms existing streets, open spaces, and transition zones into a continuous pedestrian experience. Along the route, a series of lightweight modular canopy structures defines pause nodes that support activities such as studying, meeting, waiting, cultural events, temporary exhibitions, and community gatherings. Inspired by the geometric language of Kayseri&#8217;s architectural heritage, including the\u00a0S\u0131r\u00e7al\u0131\u00a0Dome, Hunat Hatun Madrasah, and the\u00a0Kapal\u0131\u00a0\u00c7ar\u015f\u0131, the canopy system reinterprets local architectural references through a contemporary and adaptable design language.\u00a0Different canopy typologies respond to varying urban conditions, creating spaces that can evolve according to changing social and environmental needs. This modular approach strengthens spatial continuity while reinforcing the identity of the corridor.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultimately, Pause Corridor proposes a contemporary framework for reconnecting fragmented urban layers through a series of strategic, human-scaled interventions. Rather than relying on large architectural objects, the project introduces an adaptable public space system that encourages everyday encounters, strengthens spatial continuity, and supports long-term social and environmental sustainability. By reinterpreting Kayseri&#8217;s architectural heritage through a contemporary design language, the proposal\u00a0establishes\u00a0a flexible urban identity that can evolve alongside the city and its communities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8795\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster_CerenYildiz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"7086\" height=\"17716\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 LAYERED TRANSITION\u00a0&#8211; PAUSE CORRIDOR\u00a0 Rapid urban transformation often weakens the relationships between people, public spaces, and the city itself.
