         Gelibolu has a lots of history inside, espically for war. For location that bosphorus to reach Marmara Sea and Black Sea, Gelibolu used to interest ships and shipyards. Until all years. We can see the part of castle that next to our project area and it is important for aborigines as well as Piri Reis. Nowadays, the castle is used as a museum to exhibite maps of Piri Reis and little ware belongs him. There are two little harbour both next to castle and in front of castle.

​

           Harbour surround with cafes and restaurants. There will be changed huge harbour for yacht instead of harbour to ferry. The project area has the most crowed path not only car but also pedestrian. The museum has roof to use for pedestrian and there is open courtyard as a semi-public space. The coartyard’s shape has a arc like ship and we can feel the size how much ship made in the Ottoman, is big in realty. This shape is shown inside directly as part of the wall. That means; outside, the ship is abstract by museum but the inside there is full size. On the other hand, the poles are sinked into the museum as are ship. The poles are also obtain sun energy. There roof surfaces is like wave on the sea.
