The sirkeci park is in the historical area of Istanbul, just next to the Gulhane Park. The project’s goal is to link all the different points, now disconnected, around it.
​
The metro Exit, Gulhane Park, Eminonu Ship Station, the tramway are all points that are cutted from Kennedy Street. For that reason the main idea is to put underground the street and open the area to the puclic with a Park and all the annexed cultural points.
​
The park develops itself all along the seaside with stripes intersected from two main paths (Fluids) for pedestrain and bike/runners. At the same time two points (the museum and the auditorium), both of them at the end of two important axes, are the places which mostly welcome the visitors.
