The project for a new tramway is an opportunity to rethink a whole part of Istanbul city.
\nWe tried to imagine how the inclusion of a tramway can somehow positively influence and upgrade the whole context in which it is placed .
\nThe project proposes the use of new paving, lighting systems , and green spaces that could trigger the transformation of the whole Almedag Caddesi Street.
\nUsually the design of a street tramway is imagined as a new linear element constant in its section that fits inside a road.
\nThe new project proposes to consider the new line as a sequence of segments with different characters always able to adapt to the heterogeneous character of Almedag Caddesi Street and therefore able to define different situations.
\nThe entire route , with a length of about 1.3 km, has been divided into six areas , corresponding to the six tram stops. Each of these has its own identity and its own project : a new shelter for the bus terminal to the west , a fountain in the central square , rows of trees to the east, etc .
\nNew materials , colors, lights able to givenew quality to this axis that now is too busy because of traffic and where commercial spaces and pedestrian require a new quality .
\nThe new tram becomes a pretext in order to widen the section of sidewalk eliminating a driveway lane.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
