Çapa 1

The pandemic has caused seriuos changes in people's lives and habits. During the pandemic, people started to meet their need such as physical activity and sociality in open spaces instead of closed spaces. Even though online learning is learned.

the development of some physical activities depended on practice caused risk, water sports is one of them. Aim of this project is creating a risk-free learning environment for water sport learners.

Urla, one of the seaside districts of İzmir, needed a rehabilitation park and water sport center that would be open to people's use during the pandemic and would not risk their health.

The structure consists of overlapping roofs. It carries light to windowless spaces such as corridors and provides natural ventilation in circulation areas.

The roof curves like origami, emphasizing the Entrance, Cafe, and Boat house.

Circulation routes are designed in such a way that users do not pass through the areas they pass through. Changing rooms have one entrance and one exit. These areas work like a cleaning center, people coming from outside are cleaned and disinfected, the exit door takes them directly to the boat house.
The power of technology is used to reduce contact, doors and passages are mostly sliding.

The triangles on the roof reference the park, used in the form of green pots to enhance biophilia, At the same time, it breaks the sun and offers a new experience for those sitting outside the cafe and passing by the entrance.
