AN INSTITUTE GARDEN
Area: 5.246 m²
Location: Maltepe, Istanbul
Architectural project: BARN arch.
Landscape project: BASED Landscape Arch.
Client: Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality
The safe working training institute building
stands out with its wooden and modern architectural design on the bulkhead line
in Maltepe District of Istanbul. The institute garden's natural and unorganised
looking is designed with unclear boundaries that aims at perceptual surprise by
contrasting the structures surrounding, the artificial terrain on and
monotonous green areas around of the garden's location. The dispersed and
different frequency of perennials are juxtaposed and blended with the soil and
meadow. The garden counters the existing artificial park area through the
manipulation of texture and enclosure to create unexpected welcoming.
