AN INTERESTING STORY: ROSE ISLAND

(Fiction and reality are interpreted together.) Rose Island is a story where thoughts and dreams come true. It is a 400 m2 island platform that was created by a ‘crazy’ engineer and his friends off Italy in the libertarian environment of the 1968s. But the subject is much more than what is summed up in one sentence. While watching the recently released movie “The Incredible Story of the Rose Island” with joy and laughter, it is a section of a period where we are astonished with real images at the end of the film.

GENERATING A PARADIGM THROUGH FORM

I think some structures, like some art items, are reading silent but noisy manifestos to the world where they stand. In this way, they make the user / audience connected beyond admiring them. It is like a sentence in which we recite the implied words over and over again, a commitment brought by the desire to experience every detail, every ray of light on it, every color and every trace without leaving a single overlooked meaning.

AN IMPRESSIVE RESTORATION “BEIT BEIRUT”

Beit Beirut (The house of Beirut) has one of the most painful conservation stories, besides it is a really successful restoration application. In the middle of the city, it shows us the reality of the civil war after the years.

An inter section between historical and modern… City is watching from the gap that is separated by two period. Elbphilharmonie is a huge structure which is sighted from around the city like a wave.
