Buyukada Carsi Mosque National Design Competition

First approach to this design study was to inspecting spatial and visual problems of the project area. Buildings, bars and restaurants, and especially tents near the coast of the project area creates an unsettled silhouette and this led to a design decision of creating a more calm and still facade design with the help of architectonic decisions made
such as balance of solid-void elements, texture usage and proportions. Exposed concrete has selected due to its longlasting nature and wooden sidings to be able to create materialistic harmony with other buildings in the island.

Another important aspect is to creating a plan layout that would ve a solution to existing problems. In particular, it is aimed to create multi-functional rich, sheltered, semi-open spaces where the people of the island can socialize, before and after the praying and worship both collectively during the friday and religious holiday meetings.
