UD755 Parametric Urban Design
Weaving the city through the torn urban fabric
Fragmentation of urban form in modern metropolis is one of the biggest challenges for the contemporary urbanism. In many countries, the enduring tendency to partial development under the very condition of ruling economy politics ends up with fragmented morphologies which, in turn, harms the inherent coherence of the socio-spatial structures in our cities. This requires an effective control system dealing with the piecemeal nature of urban formation to provide morphological coherence in larger urban context. To touch upon this problem, the 2015-2016 PUD Studio makes an experimental project with an urbanistic intention of designing a large-scale urban fabric via the morphological codes to ensure internal diversity in typology and external continuity in form and structure. To that aim, a 150-hectar urban land remaining in a very node of transformation zone in Ataşehir, Istanbul is selected as the site for the design study.
