The restoration of historical architecture in Istanbul has been a fraught issue in the modern period. Istanbul is a city with a 6000-year-old history dating to the Neolithic period with layers upon layers of archaeological remains. Modern architecture and urban planning have often had to contend with these layers causing great disruptions to exist historical and archaeological traces of the city’s past. The embedded geological, structural, and cultural past of Istanbul has in most cases been roughly repurposed and often completely destroyed in the modern period. The needs of the modern city, especially roads for automobiles and new dense urban commercial centers meant that prominent buildings from the Byzantine and Ottoman eras were largely erased from the cityscape. Buildings with architectural value such as the Ottoman İncili Köşk near the Topkapi Palace or the Direklerarası Byzantine era arcade in Fatih were razed in the 20th century due to the growth of the city’s roads.

Us humans, work in cooperation under an organization that is fitted inside a space called an office. Recognizing these connections and resemblances we were encouraged to generate them into the design philosophy that considers needs, activities, and necessities in order to create an office space that is aesthetically attractive yet highly functional.
House of Interaction is a residence for a Public figure of the city where three generations of the family co-exist. The client’s brief called for having such spatial arrangements that they encourage not only horizontal but also vertical interaction; discouraging isolation and yet retaining privacy. This fundamental need of the client called for a ‘Sectional Play’ and the creation of volumes that revolve around the idea of developing this house as a ‘House of Interaction’. The idea is not limited to creating interacting opportunities for three generations to reside but extends to creating interactive interfaces between the inside and the outside, developing elements that address the purpose of sustainability, aesthetics, identity, and functionality in the truest of its spirit.
