Rhythm Ankara

The design of the project “Rhythm” is the result of an approach about urban living and aims improve the architectural standards of Ankara’s buildings in a way that creates a local and global impact.
Public life in Ankara has been evolved over the years due to pandemics, migration, and socio-economic and technological developments. In this project, the evolution of public life is the focal point and it has been reinterpreted through imagined scenarios that explore how urban life might be today and in the future. Therefore, the public space concept forms the basis of the project's design decisions.
The “highline” that forms the main structure of the master plan is defined by four main squares, which reveal the formal structure of the building blocks composed of commercial units.
The "Arcaded Square" defined by the Hotel and Service Residence blocks are supported by vehicle transportation, unlike other plazas.
In the center of the site, the “Sunken Plaza,” surrounded by residential blocks and composed of two different levels, has been designed as a junction point where all pedestrian axes converge. It could be defined as space for rest and relaxation with the support of the surrounding greenery.
The large area allocated from the Ankara-Konya Road frontage is the “City Square,” designed as an inviting space, also includes an amphitheater and the entrance to a performing arts center. It is also connected to Tekstilciler Street via a dedicated shopping avenue within the project area.
The “Office Plaza,” is located in the center of the office masses, has been designed as a more modestly scaled social space for users compared to other squares.
In terms of scale and location, the project has been approached to become a the city’s landmarks, with careful design thought of urban design criteria in its planning.
