Tram review from award-winning architect

Tram criticism from the award-winning architect: The tram project, which was transformed by Izmir Metropolitan Municipality into a puzzle, was received by award-winning architect Ersen Gürsel. Expressing that the tram line should be completed at Konak, Gürsel said, m If the line continues, it would be a mistake Tram
Another criticism of the tram project, which Izmir Metropolitan Municipality started to build in 2015, came from the master architect Ersen Gürsel, who signed the Konak Square and its Vicinity Arrangement Project during the time of Ahmet Piriştina, one of the late Izmir Metropolitan Mayors. Gürsel, who was awarded with the Konak Square Arrangement Project in 2005, said that passing the tram line through Konak was a big mistake. Expressing that the tram line should end at Konak, Gürsel said, “If they do this, they will create a very important red line in the center of İzmir. Unfortunately, the tram line is a very important obstacle that disconnects citizens from the sea. I don't understand why they did such a thing, ”he said. Gürsel stated that Metropolitan's opinion as the project author and did not get approval from him and stated that the tram line coming from Fahrettin Altay should end in Konak. Claiming that the award-winning square project will be split if they extend the line and pass it through Konak, Gürsel said, “If they do, they will create a very important red line in the center of İzmir. Unfortunately, the tram line is a very important obstacle that disconnects citizens from the sea. "I don't understand why they did such a thing."
NOT CALLED ME
Reminding that Metropolitan has never attempted to call him and get permission, Gürsel said, “If they call and get permission, I will respect and be glad. But I don't think they have any such intentions. "I have not received such a request for such a permit from the Metropolitan Municipality until now." Noting that passing the tram line in front of the ferry pier will disrupt the integrity of the Konak Square and its Surrounding Project, Ersen Gürsel said: “Cumhuriyet Boulevard, passing by the Metropolitan Municipality, is a very important axis and a street that developed from the Republic period. It is a very important axis for the city connecting Passport to Mithatpaşa Street. Why are they passing such a tram line in the middle of it now when there is no need? It's not clear. Since there is such an opinion, wouldn't one sit down and discuss the project with experts on the project? At least it is respected. "
ARCHITECTS RECEIVED
Reminding that about 2 years ago, some architects from Izmir outside the municipality asked him that he was a tram project, 'How would it be if he passes through Konak?', Gürsel continued his words as follows; “I said it wouldn't be appropriate. Then they agreed with me. Now they are looking for a place for Konak Tram. This is not the place of Konak Square. The tram line comes from Üçkuyular and stops there. After the passenger unloads and unloads, he returns again and goes. It would be a pity if the tram line passes through Konak. "This is the greatest disrespect to the late Ahmet Piriştina."
DO NOT REMOVE
Reminding that the employer can make any arrangements on the project according to the copyright law that came into force a while ago, Gürsel; “This is not the point. The important thing is to respect the work done and to take the opinion of the project author. It is not correct to use copyright as a barrier to eliminate an application. What did we think as project authors? What does the new regulation bring, what do the people of Izmir think, how does the chamber of architects look at the issue? These questions must first be answered. After finding answers to all these questions, a decision is made. "This is not going to happen by making top-down decisions like this."
