Gaziantep University Masterplan
Gaziantep / Turkey, 2010

Gaziantep University requested for a master plan to form the basis for both the buildings to be built in the near future and their growth strategy due to its on-going structuring up until today continuing without identity and integrity. In the analyses, it has been shown that the use of open areas as well as public spaces is not of sufficient quality.

So a pro- posal has been brought forward both to create a unity of language and to connect open areas in a specific hierarchy. a pedestrian axis parallel to the Halep Boulevard has been created, and open areas have been connect to buildings with steel roofs in- stalled into this axis. The buildings that will be newly built have been positioned in such a way that they will be installed into this main axis.
