olympic village turned social housing

This is Ayazma, a possible site for the next Olympics if held in Istanbul. The project aims to show a how part of the budget and resources orchestrated for a transient event can be utilized in the long term. In this way the legacy of the Olympics will leave behind a social housing complex with the memory of an Olympic Village. Right across the valley from the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, along a major road with a metro station at the corner is Keresteciler Carsisi, the lumberjack market. It stretches down to an extension of a system of valleys leading to the Kucukcekmece Lake, an area being developed with various luxury housing projects.
