Qualities

The voids and wastelands have high potential for development and improvement of the public space structure within the Topselvi urban tissue.

Topselvi Mahallesi dokusundaki kentsel boşluklar ve artık alanlar, yatırım ve kentsel kaliteyi yükseltmek için yüksek potansiyele sahip alanlardır.

Intermediate SpacesArayüzler

Qualities

The private space between individual buildings and public space are used as meeting points, outdoor commercial space and craftsmanship.This ‘intermediante space’ makes the streets lively and vibrant.

Bina ve kent arayüzündeki özelleşmiş alanlar buluşma mekanları olarak, açık ticari alanlar olarak ve ortak çalışma alanları olarak kullanılır. Bu da sokakları hareketli ve canlı tutar.

Potential

This intermediate area has the potenitial for change that is influenced by top-down incentive.

Another phenomenon and potential quality is the walking culture in Istanbul. This is an valuable asset which can be has to be used as a tool in sustainable planning.

Following the succesful global examples of Urban Villages Topselvi can become the urban village of New Kartal.

Londra’daki Greenwich Village ve Şangay’daki Xintiandi bölgeleri baz alınırsa, Topselvi Mahallesi Yeni Kartel’ın “urban village” i olabilir. Not: Örnek verilen bölgeler bulundukları bölgelerdeki en yüksek yatırım değerine sahiptirler.

Sustainable Identity

The influence zone of New Kartal should follow the obvious lines of high development and the former industrial zones, which can be regulated with strategic planning.

The unique and valuable identity of New Kartal will be strongest when counterbalanced with the one of Topselvi Village.

NEW KARTAL

Mobility

The New Kartal Masterplan is a highly physical identity. We think this can be strengthened with a strong sustainable identity: in terms of mobility, energy and placemaking.

We propose that the planned linear tramline should make a loop which connects the CBD, the station, the waterfront the new ferry terminal and Topselvi Village. This supports the pedestrian culture which allows for another view on accessibility & mobility.

In this way the New Kartal and Topselvi Village is made accessible within a 10 minute walking distance.

Additional instruments for the mobility issue are bicycle paths, local electric taxi services and public rental bicycle network.

Creating Transferia in the North and South link the two main highways to local public transportation, keeping the majority of cars out of the public space.

Parts of the Village can be developed as car-free zones to live in.

- tram loop- transferia- pedestrian priority

Energy

An important part of the New Kartal identity is the existing quarry as the heart of the new CBD. Intelligent design in this area takes it beyond a a physical attraction towards strong image-building. Implementing Green Building principles and energy-havesting technology form the basis for development rights. The grey water circuit of the surrounding high-rise CBD can work together with the quarry water reserves. The CBD becomes a landmark of the technological aspect of sustainability.

- wind from hilltops- solar energy- grey water system- innovative architecture- heat pumps

Placemaking

There are 3 clear zones which can develop specific characters within this framework which can profit from each other:

CBD Zone- high-rise- Business- luxury housing

Central Zone- mixed-use- residential mix- community

Coastal Zone- recreation & leisure- tourism & culture- collective housing

Developing the Urban Village

Sustainability is always local. Starting with local initiatives will lead to a fungus growth. Big developments as well as small initiatives should be encouraged and supported in a long term perspective. A good understanding of the local context is therefore essential. A common policy is needed to guarantee equitable opportunities for development. But it is also much about changing people’s habits and mindset.

To illustrate this Topselvi Village has been taken as a test-case.

This maps shows the typical scale of Topselvi: the ‘Topselvi Fabric’

Bu harita Topselvi Mahallesinin tipik ölçeğini gösteriyor. Biz buna “Topselvi Dokusu” diyoruz.

Densifying

The Topselvi Village Urban Fabric can be densified and strengthed by filling up the vacant plots with individual small scaled developments. Doing this alone accounts for an increase of 25% thanks to the existing wastelands and vacant plots. Earthquake risk buildings can be replaced in this way as well.

Creating space around memory nodes

Providing space for sustainable development around public buildings - the ‘memory nodes’ - the main artery of Topselvi Village appears.

Kamu binalarının çevresinde boşluklar oluşturularak kentsel hafıza korunabilir ve Topselvi Village kavramı ortaya çıkarılabilir.

Infill Strategy

There are many different types of infill possible depending on the location in the village and the realtionship to the public space and functions.

Ticari aks boyunca boşluklarda ve kullanılmayan alanlarda fırsat yaratabilecek alanlar gözlemledik.

INDIVIDUAL INFILL

COLLECTIVE RESTORATION PROJECTGOVERNMENT & COLLECTIVE

INDIVIDUAL INFILL ZONE

COLLECTIVE COMBINED DEVELOPMENT: DEVELOPER & PRIVATE PARTICIPATION

COLLECTIVE INFILLGROUP & CONTRACTOR

GOVERNMENT POLICY IS THAT PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS IN NL SHOULD ACCOUNT FOR 10-20% OF NEW DEVELOP-MENTS, (most of which is) TO BE DESIGNED BY EXPERTS. SOME AREAS DESIGNATE 30% FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO STRICT DESIGN PRINCIPLES. THIS HAS BEEN A BOOST FOR NEW TYPOLOGIES, NEW ASSIGNMENTS FOR ARCHITECTS & EXPERIMENTATION. THESE AREAS HAVE GREATLY INCREASED IN VALUE IN A SHORT TIME. THE PAR-TIES THAT PROFIT FROM THIS ARE GOVERNMENT AND INHABITANTS. A MASTERPLAN WITH ‘LOCATION SPECIFIC DESIGN REGULATION’ IS REQUIRED.

A REAL-ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMBINED WITH A COLLECTIVE OF INDIVIDUALS, USUALLY BASED ON A THEME. BOTH PARTIES INVEST, BOTH PARTIES PROFIT. IS NOW ALSO GOVERN-MENT POLICY: MORE PARTICIPATION PROJECTS.

EXCITING AS INDIVIDUAL INFILL, ALLOWS FOR EXPERIMENTATION, INSPIRING TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, WOULD BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE VILLAGE CONCEPT IF DEVELOPED ON A POS-SIBLY REPETITIVE LARGE SCALE.

COMBINATION OF ORGANIZED COL-LECTIVE GROUP & CONTRACTOR. CUTTING OUT THE MIDDLE MAN: THE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. THUS MAKING IT CHEAPER FOR BOTH PARTIES.

RESTORATION PROJECTS ARE OF-TEN INITIATED BY GOVERNMENT POLICY. THEY CAN BE CARRIED OUT IN COLLABORATION WITH PRIVATE PARTIES. BOTH PARTIES INVEST TIME AND/OR MONEY, BOTH PARTIES PROFIT IN DIFFER-ENT WAYS, CREATING OPPORTU-NITIES FOR OLD STRUCTURES, PHYSICALLY AND SOCIALLY.

Infill models

Specific micro conditions ask for specific urban design solutions - respecting the village urban tissue is key for each successful development.

Özel alt bölgeler, kendine has çözümler üretmeyi gerektirir. Tasarımımızda dokuya saygı, başarılı bir kentsel gelişim için anahtar kelimedir.

Border Infill

The north edge of Topselvi incorprates an intermediate urban typology that stitches New Kartal to the Topselvi Village in a natural way: the ‘Border Infill’

04: Placemaking

The Artery is a ribbon of Public Space. Within the Artery we find different kind of typologies of public spaces: community gardens, squares, a boulevard, a park and a garden of contemplation around the mosques.

Damar, kentsel alanın kurdelesi gibidir. Damar içerisinde çeşitli kentsel mekan tipolojileri bulunur. Bahçeler, meydanlar, bulvarlar, park ve cami çevrelerinde sakin açık alanlar.

Filling the Artery

The Node in the Artery: The Arasta

Within the Artery lies the opportunity for a high quality nodal development which incorporates new and old, public & private within a community theme: The new Topselvi Arasta.

Topselvi Arastasında kamusal ve özel alanların birlikte çalışmasını sağlayan yüksek değerde bir yatırım potansiyeli yatar.

The spine of the Arasta is a boulevard that starts at one of the nodes in Topselvi, the place where parents meet and bring their childeren to school. The Boulevard interconnects all the programme and buildings.

Arastanın omurgası, Topselvi Mahallesi’nin en işlek noktalarından birisi olan okul girişinden başlar. Bu omurga tüm binaları ve fonksiyonları birbirine bağlar.

Another Topselvi characteristic is added to the Arasta area: informal green spaces to provide shade, meeting points and softens the heat effect.

As Topselvi is very rich in possibilities and alternatives, a ‘typical’ part of Topselvi has been used for an indicative FSI calculation. The increase in GSI is thanks to the existing voids in the urban fabric which need to be healed allowing for a 70% increase in m2 while improving public space.
