|   B.R.E.A.K – Bandirma Regeneration As Knowledge   |

B.RE.A.K. is an organically integrated green urban system, acting as the generator of the future transformation of the city of Bandirma, preserving the site’s ecology, historical and cultural heritage.

The proposal gives back to the city the area of the green park, organizing it with pathways, meeting places and public squares, enhancing the relationships between the people. The site primarily houses the Design Institute function, which will attract a large number of design schools in the region, hosting exhibition, experimentation and research. Again, a place for experimentation, innovation and creativity, as well as a recognizable and iconic landmark to the city.

B.RE.A.K. seeks to become a socially and environmentally sustainable green park, which provides areas for recreation, environmental education and social relations with the growing community. A symbol of sustainability, not only for preserving energy and using passive solutions, but also for enhancing the relationship between the people and the urban/natural surrounding. The proposal consists of an urban landscape, linked to the history and traditions, but projected to the future of Bandirma, a perfect synthesis of the strong naturalistic character of the place, and the man made environment. It is not an integrated architecture; the landscape suggests the shape, drawn in its folds and interstices. 

B.RE.A.K. is ‘discovered’ by carving from the ground, in its wrinkles, fully integrated with the landscape, to get in touch deeply with the natural essence of that little piece of land.

B.RE.A.K. is a place for the people, a landmark for the city and a natural park for the environment.
