"The buildings and the open spaces between them have been designed with a delicate effort to preserve these former traces. This sensitivity arises from the fact that the project site lies adjacent to an important archaeological area that has been gradually unearthed over many years-an area that, due to the presence of the ancient Kalkhedon Stream and Port within the Haydarpaşa grounds, has historically hosted numerous civilizations."
Five new buildings occupy the rear zone of Haydarpaşa Train Station, sited over remnants of existing obsolete structures that had reached the end of their lifespan. The buildings and the open spaces between them were designed to preserve the traces of those former structures through a delicate architectural approach. The site lies adjacent to an archaeological area that has been gradually unearthed over many years. The archaeological sensitivity relates to the ancient Kalkhedon Stream and Port within the Haydarpaşa grounds. The presence of these ancient features indicates long-term habitation and that the location historically hosted numerous civilizations.
