Zaha Hadid’s Kartal Urban Transformation Project
The project prepared by world’s renowned architect Iraq-originated Zaha Hadid proposes a new architectural network of geometric shapes for Kartal and Pendik. Two sites will be connected. A new metropolis will be established, connecting roads, railways and residential areas. Formation of a new identity and its embedding to the current one is planned.
Business and residential towers are present in the project. There will be parcels ranging from 2,500sqm up to 25,000sqm. Mutually raised towers will be established. Free spaces will be allocated for the parks in sides. All the geometrically-shaped buildings will be combined. There will be more of business towers and less of residential buildings. There will also be cultural fields, opera house, park, hotels, restaurants, yacht port and marina

Project Features:
- A strong and unique relationship between organized ideas of project and its material presentation
- “Regulating network” ’s flexibility and loose embrasure system proposed by the project and their successful application of connecting current building structure in the district
- Successful distribution of usage and density over the land within urban and local framework
- Adaptable and a regulating environment will facilitate the creation of furnishing in the project’s development in the future
- The potential of the project for creating stages and parcelization
- The stress of relationship with the tradition planning elements: bloc-type building, parcels in various sizes and shapes, density regulation and logical but not-forcing usage distribution are among those elements.
- Project’s careful level understanding of abstraction and evaluation board’s idea that such abstraction will provide conducive conditions for future discussions.

When will this project start???I mean the construction.And what is about the other urban development project of Ken Yeang.

[www.sercan.de]

Both are still on planning phase
Its a big project, So i would say maybe in 10-15 years it will be finished

[Frankfurter_Bockwurst]

i would say they actually dont have a plan while looking at these pictures....

[www.sercan.de]

Its hard to understand :D

[pescarush]

these are only some ideea concepts, sketches, we cannot talk now about some project...
for me they are only some sci-fi drawings, and Zaha has already gone from this world with her mind!

The new city looks like an organic designed city.This new art of modernism called organic design is very futuristic.I think this project is the first organic designed urban development project of the world.Such a city would look like a 22th century city.Zaha Hadid is one of the TOP 10 architects of the world.For me she is better than FOSTER and CALATRAVA.Zaha Hadid knows to use futuristic,nice,
modern and organic elements and put them all in a harmony with the environment.She is very good.

[www.sercan.de]

We have to ask Kuvvaci. He saw the buildings at CNN

do you think that this new modernism has something to do with Istanbul or with Turkey? do this architecture represent turkey people? is Zaha Hadid or some other 'big' architect able to speak for a community?
i m just questioning, not judging.

[Truva]

The city is very symmetrical and i like the stars if you look from above :cheers: .Together with the project of Ken Yeang and the YENI ISTANBUL (silk hills project) the metropol will look more modern than DUBAI.It is like a science-fiction city.But Istanbul also has his historical city center.

:cheers:

Btw. are there other big urban development project like these in Istanbul.I only know Haydarpasa dönsüm projesi.

Istanbul is both.It has modern and historical elements.Istanbul is one of the fastest growing cities of the world.It is very dynamic and one by one mega projects are planned for this city like Marmaray etc......... :)

I do not think that there are "turkish" elements in the design and that is very good :D

I do not think that there are "turkish" elements in the design and that is very good :D

Do you think Dubai has arabian elements in their city and buildings :D

[www.sercan.de]

Sometimes yes
Look at Burj Dubai ground plan

or this one :D

LOL it looks like an arabian scheich.Should we also built in Turkey a building which looks like an ottoman person with turban.

[www.sercan.de]

there were plans for a huge Fatih Sultan or dancing dervis statue :ohno:

[pescarush]

it s not the same thing the local architecture expressed in contemporanity-modernism-and kitsch.

[www.sercan.de]

start will be Jan 2009

[sk]

beautiful and unique

[Jünyus Brütüs]

Opera House looks fantastic, can't wait to see construction works...

[TEKKEN]

Zaha Hadid is one of the best 10 living architects of the world.For me she is the best.This urban renewal project consists mainly of organic and futuristic elements :okay:

Welcome to the 21th century

[uA_TAGA]

Zaha Hadid is best for me:okay:

[www.sercan.de]

ok, this is the real project (sorry for the other one)

[Zicyx]

I cannot believe that this is a serious plan. ^^

[Jünyus Brütüs]

Zaha Hadid spent many years for this, i do not think she did it for nothing.

[Metropolist]

wow incredible, i must see it in real when it will be built !

[www.sercan.de]

I cannot believe that this is a serious plan. ^^

its serious
5,5 bil USD and many companies waiting already for the new offices spaces
Looks like it will be expanded to Pendik, because of the huge demand

[Erik91]

Zaha Hadid is a genius. Also Milan's new skyscrapers are hers.

[connected_]

I really really hope this project goes through. Can you imagine how much Istanbul's skyline would transform if it did? It'd definitely put the city on the map... even more so! :D

[www.sercan.de]

Unfortunately the Kartal district is more a suburb
red one on the right side
http://www.ipkb.gov.tr/harita/CB1_1.jpg

So, this new CDB won't give anything to the current skyline on the european side

Wow, if it's really a plan, then it will be one of the most interesting ( en most beautiful) projects on earth!

[www.sercan.de]

Yes :D, but IMO it will take years for its completion. Maybe they will built in phases.
Its a huge area 5,500,000 m²

Sorry, its small

[TEKKEN]

i dont see the "star looked" buildings in the beach/sea,in the new renders.I mean this.

http://sp.ibb.gov.tr/WebPortal/tr-TR/HaberResimleri/proje_odul12.jpg

[Kuvvaci]

Zaha Hadid played so much on the project, we didn't understand what was going on. She made interviews on TV's, she was coming and going for years. Prepared this project almost in two years.

[Kuvvaci]

even now, many projects are annouched for this Kartal area, rest of the places out of Hadid's project.

[www.sercan.de]

Yes, there are some new ones proposed n Kartal now
Dumankaya Vizyon for example
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/696/haritamvu0.jpg
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=585667
Uprise Elite (154m) will be also located in Kartal, but one tower in this Kartal project will be the highest in the asian part. 180m and 60 floors (residential?)

[System_Halted]

^^ I must note that last map features the old renders.

Final ones are those renders.

http://www.ibb.gov.tr/tr-TR/SiteImages/Haber/subat2008/kartal_kentsel31.jpg

http://www.ibb.gov.tr/tr-TR/SiteImages/Haber/subat2008/kartal_kentsel32.jpg

But ofcourse there might be additions to the project during the construction phase as it is so big.

Great project indeed, it will be a new fresh, very well planned CBD, but it is away from all other current CBD's (Levent & Maslak) and Bosphorus.

[Messi]

Probably I would be the most proud member of ssc when this projects gets finally realized!

[TEKKEN]

I am also excited for the new renders of the Küçükçekmece District Development Project by the malaysian worldstar architect Ken Yeang :cheers:.And i also hope the New Istanbul Project (SILK HILLS) will realize very soon.In the end there will be a TRIANGLE BALANCE
in Istanbul (Kartal in the EAST,Kücükcekmece in the WEST and Levent/Maslak in the NORTH)

[Kuvvaci]

Yes :D, but IMO it will take years for its completion. Maybe they will built in phases.
Its a huge area 5,500,000 m²

Sorry, its small
http://www.arkitera.com/UserFiles/Image/news/2008/02/22/manset03.jpg

yes it will be like this. Zaha Hadid told this and next year she will start a new project

[www.sercan.de]

i think the white building at the marina is a opera or museum

[Kuvvaci]

looks like quay much more...

[RUMPELiNO]

Kartal's urbanization project presented in NYC

Arif Dağlar, the mayor of İstanbul's rapidly developing district of Kartal, has given a presentation to a number of mayors and city planners from around the world regarding an urban transformation project under way in his district, at UN headquarters in New York.

At the Forum on Sustainable Urbanization in the Information Age, organized by UN-Habitat and UNDESA-ECOSOC on April 23-24, Dağlar said the urbanization efforts in his district are aimed at establishing an environment that will offer the best quality of life to locals. "Both the goal of sustainable development and sustainable urbanization is this," he said, adding that they had focused on how to create a space where people can live in harmony with their environment and have easy access to public transportation. The Kartal urbanization project presents a new city plan based on geometric shapes with a wide network of rail and land transportation.

[Khanrak]

This project is f'ing gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

[connected_]

I'm divided about this project... on one hand I really like Zaha Hadid's work and it's a shame that she rarely gets anything commissioned. On the other hand, I just look at this project and ask myself 'why?' :sly: People are too easily seduced by pretty architecture, but it doesn't make sense to spend billions of dollars for such a large scale project that seems to focus largely on aesthetics.

[Hed_Kandi]

What is the time line for this project???

[www.sercan.de]

2009- :D

[Inkdaub]

Wow...I hope it happens.

[Casawi]

Oehh, scary... looks like a gigantic version of Haunted Mansion :D

[metrobanker]

i think its a cool and very futuristic.. it's like living in another planet.. could be mars

[channel]

that is amazing :nuts::)

[Istanbulian]

I can confirm that the "Kartal District Development" is not a mere concept but rather an authorised and well financed project which is also well under way. The plans for the individual buildings which will make up this very urban environment are in fact being drafted as I speak.

It is also envisaged that the area covering the Kartal Masterplan will be gradually expanded in order to encompass a majority of Anatolian Istanbul. (But this expansion will be done gradually over a period of 20 to 30 years). Once, this is complete Anatolian Istanbul will exceed European Istanbul in terms of appearence and functionality.

This project will be a world first in many respects:

(1) It will be the world's first fully "green city" (Green power, extensive recycling, Natural ventilation through the extensive use of man-made lakes and ponds, Supported by UN-Habitat and UNDESA-ECOSOC).
(2) It will be the world's first futuristic city.
(3) It will be the world's first glass city (as all the buildings will have glass facades).

It is also very certain that Kartal will be Europe's most advanced and Modern urban environment in 2012.

ISTANBUL WILL ONCE AGAIN RECEIVE THE ATTENTION IT ONCE RECEIVED

[Anberlin]

Pwoah. Awesome :eek:

[Inkdaub]

I saw a photo of this project in the last New York Times Magazine. The article is about the 'city of the future' or some such type thing. Pretty cool.

And this is only a district of Istanbul :D

For those of you who would like to capitalise from this project, studio residences are now on sale off the plan.

Dumankaya Visyon A.S. has commenced off the plan sales of Residences. For further information please see:
http://www.dumankaya.com/english/projects/default.aspx?SectionId=706
http://www.dumankaya.com/english/corporate/Early-Inquiry-Form.aspx

Apartments of this calibre on the European side of Istanbul have sold for in excess of £50 million. Once the Kartal Urban project is completed expect the residential prices in Anatolian Europe to be in this vicinity.

WOW!

[Kuvvaci]

bulian, where did you get the information about the dates of construction start and end?

[redstone]

That's so cool! What's on the site now?

[www.sercan.de]

I think nothing, because they will start next year (~ March 2009)

[Mert KIRKAN]

The Evian Masters and the Women's British Open will put the final nail in the coffins on the US Solheim Cup Team picks as Captain Beth Daniel said yesterday... She said she is only looking at Players 11 thru 17 now to make her final 2 picks...

Still a lot can happen from now until the end of the WBO...

Here is a Look at the Leaderboard thru 36 holes at the Evain Masters for US Solheim Team Candidates 11 thru 17:

11. Laura Diaz 177.0 - Missed Cut +8
12. Stacy Prammanasudh 170.0 - Missed Cut +6
13. Pat Hurst 164.0 - T22 -3
14. Juli Inkster 152.0 - T61 +2
15. Jane Park 141.0 - T61 +2
16. Michelle Wie 133.5 - T35 -1
17. Wendy Ward 132.5 - T14 -5

[Jibril Bakhtishu]

On paper, it looks really cool. I wonder if it is practical at all. In the areas where there is a concentration of tall buildings, does it address issues of solar access and lighting? Is it energy efficient?]

Are there any provisions for a social diversity mix (ie. various socioeconomic classes) or will it be an exclusively gentrified area where only the wealthy can afford to live there while the common Turkish man and woman is pushed to the outskirts once more?

[www.sercan.de]

Some news
1/5000 are going to be approved by te city
Next step will be 1/1000 plans

If everthing goes perfect they can start 2011.
Its planned to be finished within 10 years.

[Muhtar]

what about the other project of Ken Yeang.When will the construction of Ken Yeang´s project will start ???
