Beylikdüzü Valley of Life Masterplan

The project proposes a series of five different valley parks developed within a strong backbone of continuity. Intended to create an uninterrupted identity and a collection of five valley parks each with unique identities and appealing destinations. Four different characters have been defined. Four of them are well connected and 'centered' green destinations. In one of them the valley will be a center in the city, allowing the wider center to be positioned on both sides of the valley.
