Beyoğlu Grand Theater

The 3 stages are torn apart, scattered through the project area for a dominating effect, the ground level is made public as much as possible for the urban flux, and all parts are unified at last with a foyer/ circulation spine which is rich with Galata and Golden Horn vistas. Different strategies were developed through the design process for the relationship of the new volumes with the historical context. And the new Theater building is tried to get involved actively with the rich urban life of Galata by the help of different social and recreational activity setups
