Text description provided by the architects. There were two important inputs regarding the settlement located in Ulus, which was to be situated on a lot of approximately 80,000 square meters and would consist of 26 masses of the same size. The first of these inputs is the meaningless rigidity of building conditions that are in effect in these regions of the city. As for the second input, it emerged before us as the entity of a project that was prepared beforehand, whose intricate processes of approval were legally completed, and for which, within this context, the investor preferred to preserve the outlines. Although architectural decisions were shaped almost solely with the concern to conform to operative building conditions, the fact that the number, location, and levels of building blocks in the existing project were exactly preserved in the new design emerged as a requirement.
