In this presentation, we will introduce the Ion Riva project, located in Riva, on the northern side of Istanbul. Ion Riva is designed as a unique lifestyle destination where nature, culture, art, and healthy living are harmoniously combined. It represents a modern example of connected living, where community, sustainability, and personal well-being come together.
A special focus will be placed on one of the four signature house within the project: the Beach House. We will dive into the details of the Beach House concept, exploring its architecture, design philosophy, and the unique living experience it offers.

This event explores the remarkable stories of cities around the world that have successfully recovered, focusing on how they are rebuilding and renovating themselves in the wake of disasters. Each path to a renewed urban vitality presents its own challenges and opportunities, revealing a wide range of innovative and sustainable recovery strategies. We will delve into these inspiring processes of urban resilience, highlighting diverse approaches to said rebuilding, which exemplify both local contexts and world-wide best practices. The presentation will be moderated by a UN-Habitat urban resilience expert and will conclude with a dynamic question and answer session, encouraging active participation and the exchange of ideas.
