SKY SPOTTING STOP
İstanbul, Turkey
YEAR
2013
Size: 1100m2
Client: YAP İstanbul Modern, MOMA
Status: Completed
Team: Sevince Bayrak, Oral Göktaş, Gerd Holgersson, Sevinç Yüksel, Emre Üngör
Consultants: Assos. Prof. Emre Otay, Prof. Oğuz Cem Çelik
Project website: skyspottingstop.com
Sky Spotting Stop is an installation by SO? Architecture and Ideas that shades the courtyard of Istanbul Modern while floating gently on the hidden waters of the Bosphorus. While the illuminated mirror plates create an invariably changing background for night events, they provide constantly swinging shadows during the day. On the ground, an altering landscape made of reused vehicle tyres which are covered by fishnets transforms the courtyard to a new stop for sitting, resting, gathering, playing, or sky spotting.
The courtyard of Istanbul Modern was built in the 50s as a wharf on the Bosphorus, where huge fright ships dock. The project site, though located by the Bosphorus, is now disconnected from the coastline by a customs zone fence. One of the objectives of the project is to create a physical connection with the sea by using the structural characteristic of the site. The movement of the water under the existing slab will be the generator of the movement in the courtyard throughout summer 2013. Besides, water will act as a structural element since the shading elements are not anchored to the existing slab, instead floating on the water with the support of buoys.
