Back to conventional architecture for a shopping mall competition in one of the most touristic destinations of Turkey, Fethiye. The competition resulted in June.

“Shopping is arguably the last remaining form of public activity.” (Rem Koolhaas, The Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping / Harvard Design School Project on the City 2, Taschen, 2002)

The proposal brings together 2 distinct urban programmes, the Urban Park and the Shopping Mall. Constructing its presence from the duality created by these otherwise discrete functions, it creates an urban activity area as its exterior shells emerge from the landscape at different intervals and become a park. The shopping mall function is distributed beneath these shells.
