The “Tree House Park” competition seeks to extend design insight into architecture embedded and in harmony with the natural world with trees and tree habitation as the focus of ecological design. The competition is set in Istanbul, Turkey, in a forested area in the district of Cekmekoy, a low density residential zone on the Asian side of the city. It is home to 265,000 of Istanbul’s 15.5 million residents and has witnessed rapid urban growth in the 2000s and 2010s. Cekmekoy is today a mix of low and high-density housing but also contains natural areas with wildlife and indigenous forest.

For many, perhaps “the tree house“ has been the first house, and not only that, but one of the first self-managed constructions. In this contest we are going to explore the relationship between the house and the tree, how these two elements create a dialogue.

There is a personality test called “the house, the tree and the person” where representation techniques are studied in relation to the person (HTP test in English), although it is very interesting, what we want is to explore the relationships between these elements and innovate.
