The texture created by Buyukada’s social, natural and humanmade
phenomena has been conceived as a pattern that focuses
on the Phaeton Square. External and internal transportation
routes intersect at the square marking it as a virtual node. The
square, where locals and visitors use it frequently as a part of
their daily life, evokes essential issues such as animal rights,
occupation of social space and ecology. Making decisions
about the square and its surroundings by examining the island’s
nature, life, and memory is necessary to create a sustainable
and cohesive design.
