Yıldız Koru Park Experience

Wind was now blocked by the skyscraper. I reached the valley and saw the sea for the first time. Now I knew where to walk. I slipped on the concrete cause water was flowing from behind the fence.
The highway like road with barriers lead me to the opposite direction. I didn't want to make my trip longer so I jumped off the barrier and went across the street. Vibration. People: workers or students. A lot of Mercedes vans and cabs. Black dresses black cars. I passed accross the street illegaly again.
Now I'm in the valley. Walking on flat. Kofte smell. Bought a kofte-ekmek. I couldn't resist. Again I saw men in black walking. Probably they come from work.
There was a grassy hill, covered with billboards, and couples walking to the opposite direction.
I heard the stadium constction covered with bilboards and cars on the right.
Sun on my right face.
Lots of people waiting for a bus.
Looking at billboards.
Lot of noise.

Now more trees, more cars. No pedestrian lights to go across the street, I had to go accross the road again.
Cross section:
Cars-trees-me-fence-dolmabahce palace.
More public-old people and students
Cars cannot stop- people cannot go accross.
Good looking foreigners.
Cars stopped at the red lights- there was peace for a moment. Silence. High wall bloced the sun and it was cool.

Wire Structure

Natural based fibers cannot bare compression when constructed to a rope.  To challenge ropes' ability to form a structure - resist gravitational force and stand up carrying its own weight - a synthetic based rope is proposed to be used as a structure.  The rope contains braided steel in the core and  a plastic shell around it.
Steel itself is a structural material, but braiding steel fibers perform mostly as a tensile element.  Its little compressive resistance is used.

The shape of the sturcture consists of two circular parts, each transferring the tension to anchoring point on the ground.  Its own light weight is carried by its low compressive strength.  The horizontal loads on the structure (wind or vibrations) is absorbed by little vibrations of the elastic part.  The wind loads are reduced to minimum since the overall surface area facing the wind is little, and the tubular structure is optimum to resist wind (almost all of the tube receives the wind with low angles - not perpendicularly-, except the middle filament of the longitudenal section.
