a.act Re-habitating Exhibition

The exhibition displays select term projects of ARCH 355 (Process of Urban Design) students from fall semester 2021-2022.

The term project focused on select interstitial urban spaces in Famagusta and how they connected to the high street: Salamis Road between EMU campus and Polatpaşa Mosque. The interstitial spaces are small, un-designed connector alleys where pedestrian movement and places for lingering could be enhanced.

The primary goals of the Re-habitating Gaps and Lost Spaces Project were:

· To re-imagine these alleyways as places for people,

· To breathe life into lost interstitial spaces,

· To create places to gather and linger that could become popular destinations,

and

· To demonstrate their value, their potential, and their significance to our built

urban fabric.
