WATERWAY NO58

Directed by Umut Karaduman and produced by JTW Film, every frame was carefully crafted to showcase the essence of its architecture, blending cinematic storytelling with a refined visual approach. Waterway No58 is an architectural documentary that delves into the construction process of a unique building rising in Istanbul’s Bostancı district. While showcasing the striking relationship between the travertine-clad façade and daylight—and the understated harmony of metal and stone—the film also brings to light the human effort behind this elegant surface. From architects to craftsmen, laborers to material producers, it intimately captures the collective stories and labor that shape the building. Waterway No58 offers not only a study of form, but also a portrait of process—where light, material, and human endeavor converge to create an architectural memory.
