GOLDEN HORN - SPATIAL ANALYSIS

In a similar theme to the images below, i have produced a diagram that begins to demonstrate the spatial analysis of the urban condition in reference to the waterfront. The Image identifies areas of direct functional interaction, areas of interaction purely derived from their location and proximity to the water and finally areas of negotiation that occur within the city; these spaces are typically formed by corridors or arteries which draw the effect of the water in towards the dense urban fabric.







After the initial visit to istanbul, i had begun to become fascinated by the idea of water and it's effect upon the modern city. I feel that this could be a possible critique subject - Trying to explore the relationship that the generic water-front city has with the body of water it borders and how this relationship has changed and evolved over time.
