Image Courtesy © Alper Derinboğaz,Salon Themes Appealing to the Senses Throughout the Valley The basic principle in the approach to the valley design has been comprehension of the valley from different angles. In line with this principle, spaces have been created that will draw people walking or riding bicycles inside the valley and that will appeal to their senses. The valley has been divided into zones with axes with remnants from the urban texture and these zones have been divided into different themes and functions. Focus points and stations have been placed within these zones. Stations repeating throughout the valley are defining bicycle parks, sitting areas and shaded areas, and are also presenting a symbol that is defining the valley identity. The valley has been divided into 6 regions in the north south axis; the youth zone, the bonding zone, the discovery zone, the recreation zone, the transformation zone and the production zone.

The Life Valley Bridge plans the passage as a touring route and allows you to sense the valley and the environment from many different perspectives. The bridge silhouette substitutes the horizon as far as it is exceeding the valley. The shortest line between two points on the other hand cannot provide a sufficiently rich route in order to sense the horizon. In this context the Walker Bridge creates a unique walking route for recreating this horizon that is lost in the natural view, helping us to sense the horizon in different forms, in a sense copying and pushing off the horizon with the watching bridge.  Image Courtesy © Alper Derinboğaz,Salon The desire for touring and walking involves a wish to distance oneself from monotony and a search for adventure without risks. The Watching Bridge reveals a very different feature to its visitors in the dark. The lighting poles designed as an extension to the bearing system turn into a performance with the movements of the visitors at night. The light chain bends and turns throughout the route and passes over and under it, and embraces the vehicle bridge. The watching terrace, the bicycle road, and the walking road provide a scenic walking route under the bridge and they are hanging in the air. It is expected that this structural system and its supporting principle will give the visitors on the platform the feeling of hanging in the air and provide them with a liberating experience.  Image Courtesy © Alper Derinboğaz,Salon The walker connection links the two sides and it is designed as a road that shapes the tour as an experience, one where you can experience the natural landscape, the aromatic scents, the bird songs, and the thematic gardens. This passage is planned together with a route that appeals to all the senses with the natural flora and fauna. This journey provides you with rich experiences with slopes flowing into watching terraces, walking down to the valley from various created spaces.
