Relations with the landscape and the immediate environment
A system is proposed that allows the water harvested from the meadows and floodwater channels walking on the building to be stored and used for the maintenance of the gardens. With its natural attraction, the stored water can be used in the gardens located between the accommodation and sports fields at lower elevations. The thin parcel in the north-south direction, in the east and south of which the transformer is located, was left to the public with fruit trees to be planted and free walking areas. In this area, it may be considered by the camp management to design joint sports activities with the residents of the neighborhood. For the transition to the coastal wing of the land, both a ground pedestrian crossing and an underpass in the form of a tunnel were proposed over the highway that divides the competition area into two.
Planting decisions
As landscape planting decisions, the canal edge plant tissue consisting of poplar rows, the fruit tree textures clustered in the gardens of the vineyard houses adjacent to the land, and the golden meadow texture in the wide geography were also continued in the competition area.
