Cities establish their relationship with their inhabitants through urban voids such as squares, marketplaces, public buildings, and parks. Today, however, the evolving concept of the city has drifted away from the human scale, transforming these urban voids into undefined grounds. In this context, the project site under study can be described as an undefined ground within the city.

Currently used as a parking lot and an unqualified marketplace, this undefined ground is located at the city center, offering multiple points of access for urban dwellers. Positioned along a green corridor that begins at Mount Spil to the east, the site also accommodates a significant pedestrian flow in the same direction. Despite being situated at the intersection of important urban axes, the area has not yet fully belonged to the city’s inhabitants. With its transformation into a cultural center and marketplace complex, this ground will become a defined space, one that engages not only with itself but with the city as a whole.
