The Adsequor

The Adsequor is a sustainable hotel project on the seashores of Izmir where the historical Meles Stream forms an important but unfortunately neglected wetland called Meles Delta, around which a skyscraper zone poorly develops. The main objective of the project is to heal both the wetland and the river through a new approach towards the highrise typology.

Urban Creeper

Above all, the project seeks to offer the population a democratic right to use the open space, enjoy the landscape, reconnect with nature and strengthen the community's social fabric, which in the view of the authors is the recipe for a better world.

A bridge has the function of connecting paths, traversing the city. Our architecture, starting with the premise of social changes, walks through a dense center, permeating the urban mesh, bringing a new home for the ones in need, becoming the parasite that adapts and allows changes.

An urban social network

Our proposal implies a way to design the city thinking of all population segments, from little kids that start to discover their neighborhood to senior citizens that hardly go out anymore because their needs have changed. We designed a main collective adaptable space for different programs accompanied by a series of niche public spaces within housing blocks.
