Periodic markets,a basic type of informal exchange mechanism supported by continuous rural migration into Istanbul.The availability of fresh produce and inexpensive goods combined with the locational convenience and enjoyable atmosphere make periodic market widely attractive. In the book" A neighbourhood in Ottoman Istanbul" it talked about the change of Anatolia migrants' life,from"informal"to legal, from farmer to seller,from vendor to shop owner. The market is a way for those agricultural migrants find their way to integrate into urban life, but at the same time, compared with the covered,great bazzar or modern supermarket, those cheap,crowed, sometimes dirty and noisy markets still are borderland in many persons' eyes.
traditional periodic markets in Basiktas ,Istanbul
A new practise of food market in Basiktas. Totally open, but with fixed structure and furnitures. As normal periodic market, at night the land just becomes empty with some temporary framed pavilion, but what should this be at night? shelter for homeless or place of crime?
"I can not realize that, how architects can still design useless rooftops in a city like istanbul, where 13 million people lives. There is not enough space left, on the ground in city centers. For new functions, for social life, for recreation etc, rooftops have to be used. I like the design, but that great rooftop has to be used for public space, dear GAD architects"
