OBSERVER'S ROUTE
type architecture, landscape architecture
role architecture student
team with Türker Naci Şaylan
Cuhadaroğlu Aluminium
National Student Competition
awarded with honourable mention
The differentiation of seasons changes the water level of Longoz (a floodplain) and creates a variety of habitats such as lake, reed, marsh and forest. The Observing Route uses the tools of architecture to provide an experience-based observation of these behaviours of "Longoz". The route forms an alternative pathway. It superimposes the act of walking with Longoz. By walking it user experiences the Longoz through various ‘’perspectives’’ These perspectives involve different senses such as seeing, hearing, smelling... Since the observer observes the Longoz via experiencing it, she/he gets to be an external actor. Observes become an inherent actor of the observation process.
The route starts from the town to the very inside of the forest. Through this journey, the observer creates her/his own meaning by re-constructing the phenomenal beings through experiencing them via walking. The act of walking thus becomes an act of ‘creative observation’ as defined by the project.
