Istanbul / Turkey / 2014
GAD Architecture’s installation Serra Gate that has recently been featured in Istanbul’s famous Taksim Square. Being one of the most political places in Istanbul and Turkey, Taksim Square was the main site of the Gezi Park protests in May 2013. During the occupation of Taksim Square and Gezi Park, the protesters created new in-situ living spaces inside the park and the streets that include a library, dormitory, speaker unit, buffet etc.
