Salacak is a coastal neighborhood in Istanbul which is known by the almost 1500-year-old 'Maiden Tower'. The area was fragmented by industrial developments and infrastructure projects in the past century. The proposed project restructures the main bus&coach terminal as a seawater pool and recreation zone in the summer and a leveled plaza to host various activities during the cold seasons.
