HOŞ5

hoş5 was designed and built by first-year students from the Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture at MEF University for Azerbaijan Friendship Park in Beşiktaş. The project is based on the idea that the park functions as a shared meeting area where different users intersect. The site serves as a stop along the morning walking route of members of the Dikilitaş Retirement House, a picnic area for people gathering at sunset, and a place where the animals that inhabit the park rest and feed throughout the day. In response to this diversity of users, hoş5 aims to offer an inclusive public space that accommodates both human and non-human inhabitants. To address these varying needs, the project includes shading elements, bookshelves, planting units, seating and resting surfaces, as well as water and food bowls for animals, bringing these functions together within an integrated structure.
