ARCH 301. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN III. Fall ‘24 Unit 1. Riding the New TechnoScape
INTRODUCTION
The Next Generation Bazaar project will span an entire semester and consist of two phases. Theinitial phase will focus on the landscape design of open and semi-open public spaces within the site,emphasizing community interaction, accessibility, and the surrounding urban context.

The project willchallenge students to provide solutions that meet technical specifications, structural requirements,and contextual considerations, all while integrating the various functional components into awell-coordinated architectural design. The site, located in Narlıdere, is a neighborhood in need ofspaces that foster community engagement.
