The project

Location: Riva, Istanbul, Türkiye
Year: 2019
Context: Campus design study
Studio: HDRV

Learning around a shared landscape.

A university campus study in Riva, Istanbul, arranged around a broad central lawn. Repeated teaching buildings, shared outdoor spaces and a perimeter route establish a clear relationship between the academic buildings and the wider landscape.

The masterplan combines a central academic court with an outdoor amphitheatre, circular buildings and smaller landscaped clusters around the edge. Street-level views explore the teaching blocks, shaded entrances and vertical facade screens.
