The subject of the thesis is a regeneration project for the part of the Golden Horn coastline located in Fener and Balat districts, in order to reveal the cultural identity of the area and its users, which has been erased over time. While doing this study, literature research was conducted such as urban identity, how regeneration projects should be applied to historical cities and how these projects should be designed in terms of sustainability. Later, in order to better understand the historical texture and cultural heritage of the Balat - Fener districts, researches have been carried out on how these districts have developed throughout history. After the literature review, the urban fabric and the coastline of Fener and Balat districts were analyzed, and the positive and negative points of the area as well as the potential areas were figured out. According to the data obtained from the analyzes and literature reviews, a design approach that handles the Fener - Balat districts and the coastline as a whole has emerged, and this design method has been handled in three different categories which are landscape design, building - historical heritage design and infrastructure design. It will be a solution to the problems that arise as a result of the large and small scaled analysis. An area located in the heart of the city has been designed in a way that encourages all kinds of users and for the self-repair of nature, and how the neighborhood, people, green and water can come together in the same area and how they will contribute to each other instead of hindering each other, thus ensuring fluidity and continuity. A design approach based on continuity and in which the user is actively involved has emerged. The disconnection between the neighborhood and the coastline was resolved with minimal interventions, without the need for major construction activities, taking into account the intertwined, rich history and topographic structure of the area, as well as the environmental characteristics. This area has become a breathing point, thanks to the design approach that does not have sharp and binding boundaries and structures. In addition, the design was supported in the context of sustainable design as a solution to the existing problems in the area such as small interventions and stormwater management designs applied to different places on the project site. In conclusion, all kinds of modern, sustainable and environmental proposals have a significant role for the cities because we have to face global environmental problems together and we must take responsibility as an architect.
L'oggetto della tesi è un progetto di riqualificazione della parte di costa del Corno d'Oro situata nei distretti di Fener e Balat, al fine di rivelare l'identità culturale dell'area e dei suoi utenti, che è stata cancellata nel tempo. Durante questo studio, sono state condotte ricerche bibliografiche come l'identità urbana, come i progetti di rigenerazione dovrebbero essere applicati alle città storiche e come questi progetti dovrebbero essere progettati in termini di sostenibilità. Successivamente, al fine di comprendere meglio il tessuto storico e il patrimonio culturale dei distretti di Balat - Fener, sono state condotte ricerche su come questi distretti si sono sviluppati nel corso della storia. Dopo la revisione della letteratura, sono stati analizzati il tessuto urbano e la costa dei distretti di Fener e Balat, individuando i punti positivi e negativi dell'area e le aree potenziali. Secondo i dati ottenuti dalle analisi e dalle revisioni della letteratura, è emerso un approccio progettuale che tratta i distretti Fener - Balat e la costa nel suo insieme, e questo metodo progettuale è stato gestito in tre diverse categorie che sono progettazione del paesaggio, costruzione - storico progettazione del patrimonio e progettazione delle infrastrutture. Sarà una soluzione ai problemi che sorgono a seguito dell'analisi su larga e piccola scala. Un'area situata nel cuore della città è stata progettata in modo da incoraggiare tutti i tipi di utenti e per l'auto-riparazione della natura, e come il quartiere, le persone, il verde e l'acqua possono riunirsi nella stessa area e come contribuiranno a vicenda invece di ostacolarsi a vicenda, garantendo così fluidità e continuità. È emerso un approccio progettuale basato sulla continuità e in cui l'utente è attivamente coinvolto. La disconnessione tra il quartiere e la costa è stata risolta con interventi minimi, senza la necessità di grandi interventi edilizi, tenuto conto dell'intrecciata e ricca storia e struttura topografica dell'area, nonché delle caratteristiche ambientali. Quest'area è diventata un punto di respiro, grazie all'approccio progettuale che non ha confini e strutture nette e vincolanti. Inoltre, la progettazione è stata supportata nel contesto della progettazione sostenibile come soluzione ai problemi esistenti nell'area come piccoli interventi e progetti di gestione delle acque piovane applicati a diversi punti del sito di progetto. In conclusione, tutti i tipi di proposte moderne, sostenibili e ambientali hanno un ruolo significativo per le città perché dobbiamo affrontare insieme i problemi ambientali globali e dobbiamo assumerci la responsabilità di un architetto.

Abstract
The subject of the thesis is a regeneration project for the part of the Golden Horn coastline located in Fener and Balat districts, in order to reveal the cultural identity of the area and its users, which has been erased over time. While doing this study, literature research was conducted such as urban identity, how regeneration projects should be applied to historical cities and how these projects should be designed in terms of sustainability. Later, in order to better understand the historical texture and cultural heritage of the Balat - Fener districts, researches have been carried out on how these districts have developed throughout history. After the literature review, the urban fabric and the coastline of Fener and Balat districts were analyzed, and the positive and negative points of the area as well as the potential areas were figured out. According to the data obtained from the analyzes and literature reviews, a design approach that handles the Fener - Balat districts and the coastline as a whole has emerged, and this design method has been handled in three different categories which are landscape design, building - historical heritage design and infrastructure design. It will be a solution to the problems that arise as a result of the large and small scaled analysis. An area located in the heart of the city has been designed in a way that encourages all kinds of users and for the self-repair of nature, and how the neighborhood, people, green and water can come together in the same area and how they will contribute to each other instead of hindering each other, thus ensuring fluidity and continuity. A design approach based on continuity and in which the user is actively involved has emerged. The disconnection between the neighborhood and the coastline was resolved with minimal interventions, without the need for major construction activities, taking into account the intertwined, rich history and topographic structure of the area, as well as the environmental characteristics. This area has become a breathing point, thanks to the design approach that does not have sharp and binding boundaries and structures.
