Because of the fact that the Kemeralti distict has a huge historical background, I decided to use and reappraise some of those historical references in my project. Through the process I analyzed a couple of historical maps, to determine the different conditions of the site and the pedestrian movement in different time periods.
I also made a research about the architectural element typologies used in the district. I reckon that numbers of examples of arasta and arcades can still be seen in the area. These studies helped me to find relevant references to use in my project.
