design III: inhabiting connections, midterm

Professor Karen Fairbanks

Using analysis of previous resource research by my group and a transportation-oriented group, the midterm proposal was a temporary structure based on connecting people physically and socially to the Galata Greek School, the site of the 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial. The scaffholding structure allowed for a view of the city (its traffic and development), connected people across a busy street, and mimicked the abundance of construction sites around the city.
