Third Place Winner
The Cocoon
Design by
Firdevs Aydın, Hakan Koç, Tuğçe Sena Özdemir & Mert Tunay
The Cocoon is an inner city intervention that enables individuals to tailor make their own experience in crowded Istanbul. There is a clever use of space in the tight site and the timber and glass building within a vertical garden offers a contemporary idiom, where the private and larger public functions coexist comfortably. The project is well explained and contextualised both verbally and visually.
-Sand Helsel
Interesting to see that the existing threat of natural disaster has been addressed in the context of Turkey.
