REFLECTION OF THE BAUHAUS MOVEMENT ON LANDSCAPE APPLICATION: CASE STUDY OF ÇANAKKALE/HAMIDIYE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK

Abstract

This project involves the application of the design principles of the Bauhaus art movement on a project area of urban open green spaces of a developing area at the neighborhood level. The study aims to design a neighborhood park with a modernist approach that includes aesthetics, function, and sustainability, taking into account the development potential of the region. This project began with the definition of the purpose and scope, and then a site analysis was created using literature reviews and municipal data. After the end of the analysis process, the design plan was determined by considering the development potential of the region. Subsequently, the design process was initiated following the fundamental principles of the Bauhaus art movement. Functionality and sustainability are emphasized in the design. Complex circulation and design decisions were avoided and the principle of "less is more" was taken as a basis. Considering the climatic structure of the region, a planting plan was made. Innovative landscape elements have been designed under the basic principles of the Bauhaus art movement. The design process was finalized with a comprehensive report summarizing the findings, results, and recommendations, along with presentation sheets. As a result of the project, it became evident how Bauhaus art and design principles can be effectively integrated into a modern landscape project. The use of both natural and industrial materials in the park's design has offered its visitors the chance to establish a connection with the environment. At the same time, the park's reliance on the principles of ecological sustainability has contributed to its goals of protecting nature and raising environmental awareness.
