why?

​

• The impact of Eskihisar Castle on regional tourism should be strengthened.

 

• Its proximity to main transportation arteries such as Eskihisar-Topçular pier and marmaray station should be evaluated.

 

• This region, where the home of the great artist Osman Hamdi Bey is located, should strengthen the cultural bond and provide the attention it deserves.

 

• It should cease to be a social security problem for its immediate surroundings.

 

• It should stop being an urban obstacle and live with the city.

​

urban problem

​

• Although the castle is in focus when examined with its environment on a large scale, it has become an urban obstacle due to its underuse.

 

• In the current situation, the road to which the entrance gate of the castle is connected does not reach the other side of the beach, which is potentially suitable for development, and prevents its development.

​

solution

​

Castle, with the operation we recommend;

 

• It will regain its charm for the people of Gebze by reviving and keeping its historical texture alive (almost without touching the texture of the castle),

• Ensuring the continuity of use by ensuring the continuation of the road axis coming from Istanbul and the neighborhoods,

• It will create a more living environment with the observation deck designed and reduce the danger of social crime around the castle,

• It will create a functional richness by further strengthening the line of Ferry Pier-Osman Hamdi Bey Museum-Adventure Park, which is formed on the coast axis,

• It will offer a new place for our people to breathe in today's epidemic conditions.

​

It has a utilitarian effect as it is.
