preface

Architectural works are like documents: they harbor clues about the variety of social
configurations and relationships within which they are produced. Different readings can
be made of buildings from any given period, from the level of technology to aesthetic
perception, lifestyles and social values. Architectural readings not only enable us to
understand historical social structures and phenomena, they also are instrumental for
developing a critical culture that enables us to understand, evaluate and conceive the
present more accurately.
Commercial Buildings, the first book in the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series, is
also the first product of a project developed jointly by VitrA and the Turkish Association
of Architects in Private Practice (TSMD) to contribute to our architectural culture. The
starting point of the project is to create a record of contemporary architecture and, in
the process, to emphasize how the changing expectations of employers fueling the
increase in building projects, the growing responsibility of architects vis--vis end-users
and the environment, and the technological development of materials and construction
have influenced design. Every year, these readings will focus on a different typology.
All commercial buildings completed after 2000 that meet the criteria determined by the
Advisory Group may be included in the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series, including works by Turkish architects abroad and those by foreign architects in Turkey. All
projects that comply with the projects criteria will be published on the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series website; the book comprises 50 projects that best exemplify
the diverse characteristics of commercial buildings.
The jury carefully examined all the projects it received following the announcement of
the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series. In order to facilitate a general evaluation,
projects were divided into four main groups: shopping malls, mixed-use buildings, office buildings and headquarters, and showrooms. During the selection process, as far as
possible, the jury sought to ensure that the buildings it chose from each group reflected
diversity in geographical distribution, innovative approach, shape, mass, environment,
scale, space, function, as well as in material use and construction techniques. Hence,
22 percent of the projects in the book comprise shopping malls, 18 percent mixed-use
buildings, 36 percent office buildings and headquarters, and 24 percent showrooms.
Geographically speaking, 60 percent of the buildings are located in Istanbul, 18 percent
in Ankara, 4 percent in Izmir, and 2 percent abroad; the remaining 16 percent are from
various provinces around Turkey. Of the 40 architectural offices included in the book,
four are located abroad.
Using the QR codes included in the books building records, it is possible to attain more
comprehensive information about the projects on the website. Comments by architects
[
] about the buildings are followed by Deniz Gners readings [
].

We would like to thank VitrA and the Turkish Association of Architects in Private Practice (TSMD), who have approached the realization of this project as nothing less than part
of their social responsibility.

introduction

With our VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series project, VitrA has added a permanent
component to its ongoing efforts to advance Turkeys architectural culture. Through
long-term collaboration with the Turkish Association of Architects in Private Practice
(TSMD), we aim to contribute to architectural debate and critical culture by examining
works of contemporary architecture through books, exhibitions, discussion panels, web
sites and other media, as well as through social networks where all interested parties
can play an interactive role.
As producers of building materials who continually strive to innovate and improve, we
value cooperation and sharing with all the actors in our sector. We believe that the
involvement of all stakeholders, whether educators, designers, investors, employers,
material producers or end-users, will enrich the culture of constructive architectural
criticism. With this in mind, we invite all interested parties to consider and reevaluate
what is being produced today through these studies of contemporary architecture.
The VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series will examine structures that have been
built since the year 2000. In the first year of the project we look at commercial structures, and it is no coincidence that such structures were the first to be selected. Shopping
malls and office buildings, the focus of our project, have undergone radical change in
the last decade, both in terms of quality and quantity. Economic and social changes taking place in Turkey during this period, the accelerating tempo of professional life, and
evidence of the development in production and display techniques can all be read in
the architecture of commercial spaces. Architectural structures have borne witness to
rapid changes in application techniques and the use and interrelation of new materials
and found their place in the archives. In this book, we examine the proliferation and
transformation of commercial structures from the perspective of architecture, usage
and meaning. What we have put together goes beyond being a catalogue or anthology
of structures built in the last 10 years; we also provide a discussion of the changes in
business and commercial life that can be observed in commercial structures.
We hope that the books to be published in this series will make a contribution of lasting
value to Turkish literature on contemporary architecture, foster architectural criticism,
and inaugurate a thought-provoking process.
We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the making of this book, first
and foremost the architects who have created the projects that form its subject matter.

introduction

The Turkish Association of Architects in Private Practice (TSMD) is an NGO that has been
working since 1987 to promote the values embraced by the architectural profession,
advance architectural practices, create awareness about urban ecology, and contribute
to the development of the building sector.
In Turkey, as in the rest of the world, architects, as people involved in design and art,
are in their own ways representatives of cultures characterized by critique, social sensitivity and resistance. Empowered by art, they also represent the vanguard of new
perceptions about the times we live in.
Conscious of these roles, TSMD does not restrict its activities solely to its membership
profile and their professional fields, but rather strives to provide a structure that encompasses, nourishes, and is nourished by the entire architectural community. TSMDs main
areas of interest today, the design and construction of buildings, that is, the processes
involved in architectural practice, form the broadest base for bringing together all stakeholders in the architectural profession.
In addition to these activities, TSMD has begun to cooperate with VitrA on a new project
to fill other needs in Turkeys architectural sector. The projects aim is to document and
discuss contemporary architecture in Turkey and provide a basis for developing new
structures by reflecting on diverse types of buildings. This series of contemporary architecture, the first of which is concerned with commercial buildings, will form a collection
as it expands its coverage to different types of structures over time. As with many of
TSMDs other activities, the project will be open to the entire architectural community,
not just association members.
The two institutions have come together in order to contribute to the formation of
Turkeys collective memory in the area of contemporary architecture, make it a priority for the building sector and the public, and stimulate critical thought by creating
awareness. Parallel to the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series, there will also be
exhibitions, panels, books and activities on the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series
website that leave their mark in academic and professional circles and on the public.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all our colleagues who contributed to this project
by sharing their valuable projects with us, to the editors and curators of the project for
their indispensable work, and to VitrA for cooperating with us on this social responsibility project. We sincerely hope that this will be a long-term project, as we intend it
to be.

Ticaretin Mimarlndan, Mimarln Ticaretine

Gei Sreci inde Ticaret ve Yaplar
Teknoloji, iletiim ve kltr ortamnn srekli dntrd balam iinde, yap ile ilev arasndaki iliki, mimarln asal belirleyicilerinden biri olma zelliini yitiriyor. Buna
kent merkezlerinde kalan yaplarn hzla yeni ilevlere almas gerei de eklenince,
bata konut ve i yaps ayrm olmak zere yap trleri ile kullanm biimleri arasndaki
sreklilik yok oluyor. Bilgisayar ve iletiim teknolojileri ile gelen olanaklar, her yeri fiziksel ortam hatta corafyadan bamsz olarak i ortamna, i yerine dntryor. Ev ofis
kavram konutla iyeri arasndaki izgiyi yok ederken, giderek pazar pay artan e-ticaret
kavram, ticaret olgusunu meknszlatryor. Bu dnm yersiz ve alabildiine esnek
yaplara yer aarken, geleneksel ticaret hayatta kalabilmek iin yeni tutunma noktalar
aryor; elence, dinlence, spor, yeme ime gibi ilevlerin ekiciliklerinden medet umuyor. Bugn neredeyse kent meknn yerini alan, kamusal alann kendisi haline gelen
toplu alveri meknlar, ticareti sosyal ve vazgeilmez bir etkinlik haline getirmek
iin srekli yenilenen stratejiler gelitirmek zorunda kalyor. Bu meknlarn genel ad
olan ve btn dillere yerleen mall szcnn kklerine gidildiinde, szcn ak
kentsel alanlarda oynanan bir oyuna, bu oyun iin ayrlan ak ve korunakl bir mekna
referans veriyor olmas artc deil.
Gndelik yaamn etrafnda rgtlendii tketim kltr, her ey gibi mimarlk alanndaki dnmn de temel belirleyicisi haline geldi. Mimarlk, tarihi boyunca varsayd gibi dntrc bir g olmaktan ok, var olan dnmn merulatrlma
ortam olduu gereiyle akca yzleiyor. Ticari yaplar ise dier yaplardan bir adm
nde, bu durumun btn boyutlaryla gzlenmesine olanak veren rnekleri oluturuyor. Mimarlk tam da tketim kltr ile kesime noktasnda yer alan kimlik retme
becerisini art bir pazar deeri oluturmak zere ilevselletiriyor. Yaplar, saladklar
yaam mekn ve olanaklarn tesinde, kimlik deerleri ile pazar ortamna sunuluyor;
bu deerin zerinden yarmaya balyor; mimarlk her eyden ok pazar deerini artran bir girdi olarak alglanyor. Deiik, arpc, ne kan, yeniliki, gncel, fark yaratan
gibi kavramlar mimarln tketilme biimini dier nesnelerin tketilme biimleri ile
benzer hale getiriyor. Aslnda z itibaryla gcn geici olmaktan alan moda kavram,
bugne kadar kalcln peinde olan mimarlk alanna geirgen hale geliyor; bylece
taban tabana zt olaca varsaylan iki ayr yaratclk alannn uyumlu beraberliine
ahit olmaya balyoruz.
Mimarlk; kalclk, ilevi ile temsiliyet, balam ile sreklilik ilikisi iinde olmak gibi kayglar geri plana attnda, badndren bir zgrlk ortamnda buluyor kendini. levsel
verimliliin yerini ekonomik verimlilik, rasyonel akln yerini teknoloji ve bte kstlar
alyor. Yaplarn ktle ve cephe ifadeleri planlar ile sreklilik kurma zorunluluundan
kurtulduunda, mimarlk ek ama daha nemlisi kendi snrlayclarndan bamsz hale
gelen bir ifade ortam buluyor kendine. Cephe iki ya da boyutlu bir grafik ortamna, scenographic bir anlatm biimine dnyor. Yer, yn, kltrel ve fiziksel balam
ikincil hatta ihmal edilebilir girdiler olarak grlmeye balanyor; kentle diyolog yerini
kente sylenen sze brakyor. Yaplar biraz bydke kentin kendisini simle etmekten, kentin kendisi gibi davranmaktan ekinmiyor. Byle bakldnda, her mall kentin
iinde ve ona ramen bir kent olmaktan, onu yapamasa bile kent meknnn alternatifi
olmaktan ekinmiyor. Ticaret yapsnn kendisi en nemli ticaret arac, metas haline
geliyor.
Kimlik kavram, sadece rn zerinden deer bulan bir kavram deil. ou zaman birbiriyle kartrlan marka ve kimlik kavramlarnn sreklilii iinde markalamak, rnn kimlik deeri iin rnn kendisinden bamsz bir zemin oluturuyor. Bu anlamda
mimarlk rnnn kendisi kadar mimarnn markalamas da tketim kltrnn kanlmaz bir beklentisi. Bu bask ile kar karya kalan mimar, gndelik norm ve beklentileri aan, aratrmaya dayal projelerden ok, bir yandan bu beklentilerle sreklilik
oluturan te yandan farkllk kazanarak ne kan bir rn sunmaya, rnle birlikte
kendi pazar deerini oluturmaya yneliyor. Bu sre iinde farkllk ou zaman binann ktle ya da cephesinin davurumuna indirgenmi bir denemeyle snrl kalyor; ou
zaman kent, balam hatta programn kendisinin tasarm srecinde farkllk yaratacak,

17

dntrc bir izi olumuyor. zellikle byk lekli projelerde mimar karar verici
olmaktan ok, verilmi kararlar merulatran kii konumu ile kstl kalyor; kendisinden beklenen alan verimliliinin yan sra gl bir davurum ve kimlik oluturulma
sorunu, temel sorumluluk alann oluturuyor. Tarih iinde mimarln aratrma konusu
olarak alglanan program, ilevsel kurgu, nceliklerin oluturulmas, balamsal ilikiler
gibi konular, mimar nnde veri olarak buluyor. rnein adlar AVM olarak ksaltlan
alveri merkezleri satlabilir alanla inaat alan arasndaki oran, at birimlerinin yer
ve byklklerini len, projeleri olumu normlara gre denetleyen uzmanlarnn dorudan mdahaleleri ile ekillenirken, mimar bu verileri en optimum biimde salayan
kii olmann yan sra en ilgi ekici yapy en dk maliyetle gerekletirme gibi temel bir sorumluluk stleniyor. Bu sre kurgusu iinde AVM projeleri tipolojik kurgular
olan plan emalarn arsa boyutlarna gre esnetme, onlara birer kabuk bulma iine
dnyor. Bu deerlerin kltr ve corafya fark gzetmeksizin geerlilik kazand
bir ortamda cephe, tipolojiyi rten, tasarm farkl bir nesne gibi gstermek zere ilevselletirilen yegane unsur olarak ne kyor. te yandan ie dnk bir yap tr olan
AVMler cephenin bamsz bir ifade ortamna dnmesine ynelik olarak son derece
esnek bir zemin sunuyor. fadenin tkendii noktada devreye hareketli cepheler, k
ve renk gsterileri giriyor.
phesiz dier i yaplar da, AVMler kadar youn olmasa da bu dnmden etkileniyor. Ofis ve i yaplarnn ou, bir alma ortam olmann tesinde barndrd kurumlarn gcn, pazar ayrcaln simgeleyen birer kimlik arac olarak alglanyor. Daha
yksek, daha byk, daha teknolojik, daha gncel, daha akll gibi kavramlar sadece
yapy deil, yapnn sahibini ve kullancsn da tarif eden kavramlar olarak alglanyor.
Yap pazarda ne kmann bir arac ya da ne kmln bir gstergesi olarak ilev
gryor. Kurumsal kimlik ve onu temsil eden mimari kimlik kavramlar bir sreklilik
kazanyor. Dnyann her yerinde ayn otomobil sat ve sergi meknlarn, ayn marketleri, ayn toptanclar, farkl arsa ve balamlara kurulmu olarak gzlyoruz. Benzer
kaplardan geiyor, benzer gvenlik nlemlerini ayor, benzer odalarda toplant yapyor, benzer giysiler iinde benzer konular konuuyoruz. Byle bakldnda, kresel
lekteki tiplemenin mimarl da etkisi altna alm olmas hi de artc deil. Bir
yanda farkllk, zgrleme ve eitlilik olarak sunulan tketim kltr, te yanda onunla gelen alabildiine standartlam ve tiplemi retim ilikileri ve tketim biimleri,
ilk anda bir eliki gibi alglansa da farkllk, zenginlik, eitlilik gibi kavramlarn
mimarlkta olduu gibi yzey oyununa indirgenmi olduu grldnde, bu eliki
anlamn yitiriyor.
Btn bu dnm iinde, balam kavram da yeni bir anlam kazanyor. Kltrel balamn kazand kresel boyut fiziksel, kentsel ve yerel balamn etkisini azaltacak
biimde baskn bir girdiye dnyor. Bu anlamda yaplar iinde yer aldklar fiziksel
ortamdan ok, kltrel hatta sanal ortamda meruiyet kazanmak zere tasarlanyor.
Tasarmn girdi ncelikleri fiziksel zeminin kendisinden ok ana eksende yer alan mimarlk deerlerinin kalplarna gre, tketim ncelikleri dorultusunda oluturuluyor.
Olumu kentsel doku, o doku ile oluturulan sreklilik, baka yaplarla birlikte bir anlam retmek ve bir btnn paras olmak, ikincil zorunlu olmayan bir tasarm girdisine
dnyor; ou zaman, aksine, yaplar o doku iinde farkllamak, ne kmak zere
tasarlanyor. Benzer biimde kent mekn ile fiziksel bir sreklilik oluturmak yerine
ondan kopmu, bir gvenlik emberi iine alnm, kentin etkilerinden arndrlmaya
allm tasarmlar art bir deer gibi alglanyor. Pek ok ticari yap bykl, ilev
eitlilii, sosyal meknlarnn dzenlenii ile kente, kent yaamna alternatif oluturmaya, ona ramen varln srdrmeye alyor. yaps iinde spor yapyor, yemeimizi yiyor hatta berberimize gidiyoruz. Gvenlik duvarn aanlar, alternatif bir kent
simlasyonu bekliyor.

18

phesiz bu dnmn etkileri, ne ticari yaplarla ne de Trkiye mimarlk ortamyla snrl. Aksine Trkiye kendine zg kltrel, ekonomik ve sosyal balamn etkisi altnda,
kentlerin mevcut fiziksel dokular iinde bu dnmlerin bazlarn gecikmeli, bazlarn
anmaya uram biimde yayor; baz dnmler ise hibir orafyada grlmeyen
bir ivme kazanyor. rnein kentsel merkez dokusunun byk lde korunduu Avrupa kent merkezlerinde geleneksel kent yaam varln srdrmeye devam ederken,
AVM benzeri yaplar ve yeni i alanlar bu dokuya eklemlenmeye allyor. Trkiye or-

tamnda ise, bu yeni yaplarn ou kent merkezini dntrme, deitirme arac olarak
ilevselletirilip, kent merkezinin dorudan yerini almaya , kendisi olmaya yneliyor.
rnein stanbulda Beyolu, Nianta gibi tarihi kent merkezleri zorlanarak o doku
iin gerek ilev, gerek dil, gerekse byklk olarak yabanc saylabilecek AVMlere yer
alyor. Gelir gurubu farkllklarnn ve kltrel farkllklarn daha derin ve keskin olarak
aa kt Trkiye metropollerinde korunmu, kent meknndan koparlm i alanlar
her yerde olduundan daha kolay kabul gryor. te yandan hemen her alanda olduu
gibi mimarlk alannda da gelime ve yenilikleri ikinci elden tketen Trkiye ortam,
kresel mimarlk medyasnn sunduu ana eksene sorgusuz bir temsiliyet yayor. Bu
anlamda yeni olarak kabul gren her ey eletirel bir mesafe kurulmakszn iselletirilerek ve belki de daha vahimi, Trkiye ortamnn ekonomik ve teknolojik kstlar
iinde naifletirilerek yeniden retime alyor. Bu durum zellikle yabanc sermaye

Commercial and Business Structures in the Transition

from Commercial Architecture to the
Architecture of Commerce
In the relationship between structure and function, technology loses its characteristic of
being one of the prime determiners in architecture, due to the fact that communication
and the cultural environment are constantly changing. When this fact is added to the
reality that the remaining structures in the urban center are rapidly being transformed
to meet new functions, we can see that the distinction between residence and commercial structure and the continuity between structural types and styles of usage are
disappearing. The possibilities that have appeared with computer and communication technologies have transformed all physical settings, even geographically detached
work environments, into the workplace. While the concept of the home office is
destroying the fine line between house and workplace, the concept of e-commerce,
with its increasing share of the market, leaves the commercial phenomenon without
a location. While this transformation creates structures that are without location and
exceedingly flexible, there is a search for new places to latch onto in order to survive
in traditional commerce, hoping for succor by offering attractions like entertainment,
recreation, sports, and dining. In order to transform public shopping malls, which have
staked their claim on the city space and become public places in their own right, into
commercial, social and indispensable facilities, innovative strategies have constantly
had to be developed. It is not surprising that when we examine the roots of the word
mall, which has become the common name for these places in almost every language, we find that this word refers to a game that was played in urban areas and to the
open or sheltered venue used for this game.
Consumer culture, which is organized around daily life, has become the essential determiner of the transformation in the architectural arena, as it has in almost all other
arenas. Architecture has clearly come face to face with the reality of being a setting for
legitimizing the current transformation, rather than being the power of transformation
assumed throughout architectural history. Commercial structures, as they are one step
ahead of other structures, provide examples that enable us to observe this situation in
all its dimensions. Architecture functionalizes to form its skill at identity production,
which is located at the exact point where architecture intersects with consumer culture
and market value.
Structures, beyond the living spaces and opportunities they provide, are presented in
the market place with their identity values; it is with this value that they start to compete. Thus, architecture is perceived, above all else, as an input that increases market
value. Terms such as distinctive, striking, prominent, progressive, current, and creating a
difference transform the consumer style of architecture into a form that is similar to other consumer products. In fact, the essence of the term fashion, which takes its power
from being transient, has now become permeable in architecture, a field that has, until
today, pursued constancy; thus, we can witness the start of a harmonious compatibility
between two distinct areas of originality which until now have been assumed to be
absolute opposites.
When architecture puts behind it concerns of permanence, functionality and representationalism, and instead puts itself in a constant relationship with context, it finds itself
in a mesmerizing state of freedom. Economic efficiency takes over from functional efficiency and technology, and budget constraints take over from the rational mind. When
freed from the necessity of establishing consistency with the expressions of mass and
faade in a structure, architecture will find itself, more importantly, in an expressive environment that has become independent from its own limitations. The faade becomes
a two or three-dimensional graphic form and the scenography is transformed into a
narrative form. Location, direction, cultural and physical context begin to be perceived
as secondary, even negligible inputs, and dialogue with the city gives over to the expression of the city. As structures grow, they do not hesitate to simulate and act like the
city itself. When the matter is examined in this way, although every mall is in the city,
it does not hesitate from being the city; even if it cannot do this, it becomes an alterna-

21

tive to the urban space. The commercial structure itself becomes the most important
commercial tool, the merchandise.
The identity concept is not one that finds value with the product. Within the consistency of the concepts of brand and identity, which are frequently confused with one
another, branding establishes a background for the identity value of the product independent of the product itself. In this sense, the branding of an architect, as much as the
architectural product itself, is an unavoidable expectation of the consumer culture. The
architect who faces this pressure, rather than developing projects based on research
that overcome these daily norms and expectations, turns instead to creating his/her
own market value with the product; this is done by presenting a product that creates a
difference, on the one hand, while heading towards forming a market value for themselves. During this process, most of the time, distinction remains restricted to a trial that
is limited to the expression of the mass or faade of a building; often there is a failure
to form a transformative imprint that will make a difference to the city, context or even
to the designing period of the program itself. Particularly in large-scale projects, the architect, rather than being the decision maker, remains restricted to being not only the
person who legitimizes the decisions, but also, rather than achieving the productivity
that is expected of them in this area, their basic area of responsibility is comprised of
the powerful manifestation and formation of identity. The program that has been perceived throughout history as being the research subject for architecture presents the
architect with data from subjects such as functional construct, the establishment of priorities and contextual relationships. For example, while the ratio between retail areas
and the construction area in shopping malls is established with the direct intervention
of experts in control of the projects and in accordance with existing norms, the architect
is the person who ensures that these data are used in the optimum manner, as well as
being the one with the primary responsibility of creating the most interesting structure
at the lowest possible cost. Within this creative process, shopping mall projects are
transformed into efforts to stretch plans with typological constructs to fit the expanse
of the land, and to create a shell for this plan. In an environment where these values
have gained legitimacy, regardless of cultural and geographical differences, the faade
comes forward as the only component that has been made functional by presenting
the typology and indicating the difference of the design. At the same time, the facades
of the introverted structures of shopping malls offer an extremely flexible space for a
transformation into an expressive environment. At the point where expression expires,
moving facades and light and color shows come into play.
Without a doubt, other structures are as affected by this transformation as shopping
malls, but not to the same degree. Most office and work structures go beyond being a
mere working environment and are perceived as a vehicle to symbolize the strength of
the institution and their distinctive place in the market. Terms such as higher, larger, more
technological, more up-to-date, more intelligent are all perceived to describe not only the
structure, but also the owner or user of the structure. The structure functions as a means
of getting ahead in the market or as an indication of being ahead. Corporate identity, and
the architect who represents this, gain continuity for the identity concepts. All over the
world, we see the same areas selling and displaying cars, the same supermarkets, the
same wholesalers in different locations and in different contexts. We walk through similar
doors, go through similar security systems, have meetings in similar rooms, talk about
similar topics wearing similar clothes. When looked at in this way, it is not surprising that
typification, which is occurring on a global scale, has also had an effect on architecture.
On the one hand there is a consumer culture that is presented as differentiation, liberation and variety, on the other there is the maximum standardization and typification
that accompanies consumer culture; if at first these are perceived as being in conflict, the
significance of this conflict declines when it is understood that distinction, wealth and
variety have been reduced to a game, as has happened with architecture.

22

During this transformation, the term context takes on a new meaning. The global dimension that the cultural context has gained by reducing the effect of the physical, urban and regional context is transformed into a dominant input. In this sense, structures
are being designed more for legitimacy in a cultural or even virtual environment than
for the physical environment in which they have been placed. Rather than suiting the

physical background, the input priorities of design are based on consumer priorities, in
keeping with the templates of architectural values located on the main axis. The urban
pattern and continuity that are formed within that texture produce meaning with other structures, as a whole being transformed into a design input that is secondary, not
compulsory; in contrast, most of the time structures are designed to be distinct within
that pattern, to stand out. In a similar fashion, instead of forming a physical continuity
with the urban environment, designs that have been detached from it, enclosed within a security perimeter and purged of the effects of the city, are perceived as having
added value. Many commercial structures, despite their size, variety of functions and
arrangement of social spaces, attempt to constitute an alternative and maintain a presence despite the city and city life. Inside the business structure we can do sports, eat
food and even go to the hairdressers. An alternative city simulation is waiting for those
who go beyond the security wall.
Without a doubt, the effects of this transformation are limited to neither commercial
structures nor to the Turkish architectural environment. Turkey is undergoing some
transformations in a delayed manner under the effect of its specific cultural, economic,
and social context and within the existing physical patterns of its cities as other influences become eroded; other transformations are occurring at a speed that is not to be
found in any other location. For example, while traditional city life continues in European city centers, where the texture of the urban center has been protected to a greater
extent, structures like shopping malls and new business centers are still attempting to
find a place. In Turkey, most contemporary structures are built as functional tools to
transform the city centre and are aimed at directly taking their place in the city center
or becoming the city centre. For instance, historical city centers in Istanbul, such as Beyolu or Nianta, are forced to make room for shopping malls, structures that should
be considered foreign to the texture in terms of function, vernacular and size. Shopping
malls, which have a deeper input group and cultural differentiation than business centers, have been protected in the Turkish metropolis; as they are everywhere, they are
more easily accepted than business centers, which are detached from the city. On the
other hand, development and innovation in architecture in the Turkish environment,
which is being consumed second hand, a phenomenon that occurs in almost every
other field, are experiencing an unquestioning representation on the main axis that
is provided by global architecture. In this sense, everything that is accepted as new
is being functionalized without employing a critical distance; perhaps an even graver
matter is that within the environment of Turkeys economic and technological constraints, architecture is being opened to production once again, being made nave. This
situation can be observed more clearly in the business and commercial structures that
are supported by foreign capital as a means of investment. North-facing faades with
blinds, massive walls closing off the southern aspect open the way for an architecture
that is manifested as expressions of attempts to be symbolic on the faade.
Without a doubt, in this period, a time in which more than anything else, statistical
plurality and an intensity of construction have come to the fore, there are distinguished
and original products that are based on research and which conserve the critical distance from the main axis. Most of the examples that are found within this compilation not
only enable us to read contemporary Turkish architecture through a certain structure
type, but also represent, with certain features, the points of resistance that oppose this
transformation. In this sense, to approach architecture from a distance and to form an
alternative are perceived as being values equal to the skill in articulating the main axis.
As was mentioned at the beginning, architecture does not have the feature of being a
transforming power, contrary to what has been claimed for years; conversely, architecture today faces the reality of being increasingly unable to transcend the function of
legitimizing. However, what should not be forgotten here is that every transformation
brings with it its own values and culture, as well as the grounds for a critical evaluation
of those values and culture. In this sense, the term contemporariness not only forms
a continuity with what is happening in the present , but also includes forming an alternative within the context by looking at what is happening from a critical distance and
re-instilling what is current.

New attitudes and lifestyles, new buildings and cities in

the 21st century
Our projects, most of which are located in Istanbul, can be interpreted as reflections of
a period. They can also be described as being in parallel with the architectural output of
the last 15-20 years.
Architecture is shaped by the orientation of the city and at the same time provides
direction and form to the city. Cities are densely inhabited spaces where life is fast and
needs and habits change quickly in line with the tempo of this era; buildings are not
sculpture-like aesthetic components, but an extension of life amalgams that define
the social movement of the city. For this reason, when creative expression and social
consciousness are jointly taken into account in the right way, cities can become livable,
long lasting places.
Local and central politics are other important factors determining building methods and
processes. The private investment model initiated by the zal government in the 1980s
is observable in the building activity of the last 10 years under the AKP government, just
as it was in earlier CHP and DP governments as well as in the coalition period. Turkeys
construction sector has always been the locomotive of its economy, and developments in this industry the most important indicator of economic activity. There is an
enthusiastic social improvement drive that has virtually become a national policy, and
the policy of promising even more in the future continues. The entire country has been
a building site for years; yet the quality of architecture has not, unfortunately, kept pace
with the quantity of construction. In this regard, it may be useful to make a quick review
of the recent past.
The changes that occurred worldwide after the 1980s and, in the case of Turkey, as a
direct effect of the zal governments policies, acquainted us with new architectural
production systems like the build-operate-transfer model. One of the first examples of a
mixed-use project in this era was the Ataky Tourism Complex, designed by architect
Hayati Tabalolu in his first encounter with the private sector after working for the state.
Galleria, Turkeys first shopping center and a mixed-use structure, was a projection of
the building construction and social change occurring in the world at that time. Subsequently, we became acquainted with Akmerkez and similar shopping malls, which were,
in a sense, meeting places, semi-public locations where different socio-economic groups
could come together.
With the change in production techniques, media buildings, for example, moved to the
outskirts of the city in the 1990s, reorienting the design of commercial structures with
new office and production concepts. Turkeys major newspapers, Sabah, Hrriyet and
Milliyet, relocated their offices and writers outside the city center to new buildings. In
these structures, intellectual and physical production processes were placed side by side
and social functions were integrated into the design, such as atriums offering common
areas for employees. Even the paper for the newsprint was stored and printed within
the structure. The Milliyet Building, DMC and Doan Media Town were the first examples
of such buildings. Today, thanks to the opportunities created by rapid changes in digital
technology, selected departments of this industry are returning to the city center. The
computer screen is replacing paper and social media, with its ability to communicate
developments instantaneously, is taking on the role of daily or weekly publications. This
form of communication and production has completely changed the use of space.
Again in the 1980s, pharmaceutical factories gave way to the service sector and the lofty
buildings that supported their image. During this period, banking buildings reflected the
power of capital, and office zones on an urban scale emerged in areas like Maslak. In the
early years of this transformation, projects built according to plans whipped out of the
drawers of foreign architects in the name of prestige led to the production of building
clusters with no identity. The products of this assembly line production attitude, itself
an extension of the entrepreneurial urban development concept, were devoid of context
for the most part and so presented as innovations. The infrastructure of Maslak, in spite
of the regions advantageous links to both bridges as well as the Istanbul Metro, is still
unresolved, although projects developed in recent years have been more controlled and
appropriate. First, Metrocity, a mixed project by Doan Tekeli-Sami Sisa, and then Kanyon, an open interpretation of the same concept created jointly by Tabanlolu-Jerde,
contributed to reviving this area, preventing its desertion at night and making it a city

center in which trade and pedestrians flourish. Later, the transformation project Levent
Loft, conceived as a factory and initially constructed as an office, became the next project in the region to highlight the need for more residential buildings.
With regards to Istanbuls residential planning, on the other hand, things began well with
projects like the first district of Ataky. After some time, however, the expansion of Istanbul gave way to residential projects like Ataky Konaklar, constructed with tunnel
formwork, gated communities and suburbs, and even housing projects for people who
do not really want to live there. Dormitories appeared far from the city center and its
opportunities for employment, education and entertainment, creating the phenomenon of the obligatory daily commute to the city. We can see how this occurred when
we open any weekend newspaper. The cities are being shaped less by architects and
more by investors on the initiative of their advisors using template-like typologies and
clich marketing tactics. Most of the time, architects are being used to visualize these
templates and clichs, and this is very dangerous. The investor naturally wants to make
a profit. The architects duty is to create a project that adds value. Investors wishing to
create successful projects would be wise not to treat them as short term commercial
investments, but rather to take into consideration long-term aims and social solutions.
We have been fortunate as regards the investors who have commissioned us projects.
As architects, we have been able to produce successful projects with investors who
understand that quality of life is not something you can measure simply with square
meters. Instead of taking the project brief as a given and starting to design accordingly,
we first sit down and discuss the program with the developer. If we had not done this
with Loft Bahe, for example, we would not have achieved this projects exciting tectonic form. When designing residences, the first question we ask is who is going to live
there and how they want to live. Levent Loft and Bahe are in fact a little different from
Sapphire. The lofts have been designed for the lifestyles of couples with no children and
singles who have chosen this lifestyle for a number of years, not for their entire lives.
For this reason, the residences have been purchased by people who understand each
other and who may even see one another from time to time in a business context,
hence creating a community spirit. Sapphire was designed more for families or individuals seeking permanent homes, and the most important characteristic of the project
is not the gardens on the high floors, but the fact that a window is opened onto the
city, both literally and metaphorically. The demand for these types of residences could
indicate the beginning of a return to the city center from the secure suburbs on the edges of the city. Of course, the area is not Nianta or Badat Avenue. Here, the greatest
deficiency is that Bykdere Avenue has not been planned and this makes things very
difficult for us as architects. In order to put this area to right, there needs to be a new
avenue behind these buildings. Secondly, some sections of Bykdere Avenue should
be put underground and the upper level given over to pedestrians. Of course, these
arrangements will still not be a solution to the heavy traffic, but when architecture is
in harmony with urban planning, there is greater opportunity to create more efficient
products. It is easier to produce the right buildings for a city in areas that have organized
their infrastructure and grown according to a plan. For this reason, joint studies should
be carried out by civil servants from diverse disciplines and professional opinions to
find solutions that also take heed of civil initiatives. Sometimes, for special projects, it
is necessary to relax building regulations, while at other times it is necessary to tighten
them; whichever the case, exceptions should only be created through discussion and
debate. For example, the Atatrk Pavilion in Florya is a wonderful building, but according
to todays building regulations, such a building would not have been allowed on the
seashore, let alone out on the water.

Taking into account the publics opinion about the areas they live in is something we
have yet to achieve in the 21st century. The significance of the Santa Maria del Fiore
cathedral in Florence, the dome of which earned the architect and artist Brunelleschi his
epithet of genius in the Renaissance period, derives not so much from his 15th century
architectural solution to the dome problem, as from the competition that was held for
the project, the city councils approval of the winning design, and, most importantly, the
projects submission to public review. When do we organize competitions? When public
administrations are a somewhat leery of the public Rather than discussing designs,
however, bidding packets are prepared and a tender is launched. In this sense, the
competition held for the Zorlu Center was an important step forward. Perhaps the most
important component of this mixed-use project, still under construction at the time of
writing, is the 2,500 seat concert hall that Istanbul has needed for many years.

More than being a large metropolis, Istanbul is the most critical point of passage for culture, tourism and trade between East and West; it is itself a bridge. However, for a city
like Istanbul, which owes its existence to the Bosphorus straits and the natural sea route
it provides, the relationship between city and sea is not very satisfactory. Both shores
of the Bosphorus have been built up throughout history with a building typology of riverside residences, palaces, historical port buildings and restaurants. The people of the
city, however, have usually been prevented from encountering the Bosphorus, and there
continues to be a dearth of locations that facilitate such an encounter, with the exception of the fragmented pieces of city park envisaged by the municipal government. The
same deficiency can be seen in transportation, with the Bosphorus being a non-utilized
waterway. Port cities around the world are being renovated to create new contemporary city centers that incorporate traces of history. To this end, cities are organizing
design competitions, developing ideas, and submitting them to the public to ensure their
robust evaluation; in the most effective way, they are searching for and implementing
the methods that bring the most benefit to the city. Perhaps the most important characteristic of the Galataport project is that it brings people closer to the sea, and yet,
despite its potential to be Istanbuls door to the sea, it has been kept on hold for political reasons for more than ten years. An urban transformation project here would which
create new social, cultural, commercial and environmental functions and value and create a center that city dwellers could enjoy 24 hours a day as an extension of the city
to the shore. Today, however, the region has been abandoned; the historical squares are
being used as car parks, the buildings are abandoned, and the 1.2 kilometer long strip is
closed to the public. The Bosphorus shoreline, part of the cultural heritage and natural
flow of the city, in particular the strip from the Golden Horn and Historical Peninsula to
Dolmabahe, could be an exemplary implementation of a master plan. Not only should
Istanbul convey her own cultural heritage, she should also fulfill her potential of being
a global center for contemporary art and culture. The Golden Horn could be developed
as a culture zone, and many structures that have the potential for renovation are now
being evaluated in response to this demand. Istanbul today has room for many more
cultural buildings and structures, the first example of which was Istanbul Modern. Even
though the Galataport project has not yet been implemented, its seed, Istanbul Modern
is encouraging. Secondary functional spaces in the museum, like the restaurant, library
and cinema, are inspiring in this center where thousands of visitors from different social
groups come face to face with art, for the first time in the case of many, and with the
Bosphorus and its history even if they cannot step out onto the shore.
Today, many office and residential projects are searching for buyers by placing adverts
with similar slogans in newspapers without knowing who they are addressing. Public
buildings used to be constructed by state contractors. These projects were principally
buildings serving the public, like theaters or ministries. Today, unfortunately, the attitude
of TOK, Turkeys Housing Development Administration, is no different from that of other
investors. When people move from a shanty town to an apartment complex, naturally
there is an improvement in structural standards, but there is no change in spatial or
living standards. On the contrary, in shanty towns people were able to establish a much
better relationship with their location; the template type apartments erected in their
place without taking any heed of climatic or topographic characteristics have created a
much unhealthier environment. In particular, the uniform structures constructed all over
Anatolia without attention to geographic or social conditions have the potential of being
problematic.
As an industry, we need to learn from the global crisis that has prevailed since 2008;
evaluating the necessity and benefits of a structure should be one of the most important
parts of the planning stage. The model proposed by the architect should also be tested
economically and the general plan independently evaluated by economists, planners
and other experts from the design stage onward. One of the facts that local governments and investors must understand is that what gives value to the project is not the
furnished area or other such features, but factors that cannot be measured. In this
approach, it is important to maintain a balanced functional-aesthetic relationship in
projects that incorporate solutions like recycling infrastructure and energy savings.
A structure or building is sustainable to the extent that it is flexible in both a physical
and social sense. The architect is not the master; he or she is obliged to ask the correct
questions and search for the appropriate solution. Every building is an experience, an
interpretation and a process.

The connections between the different levels and areas of the shopping mall are perceived as a dynamic, integrated whole. Different aspects of this shopping mall alter its vectorial perception; the functional areas in which shops and cafes have been set up give it
the feel of a small town and the sleek surfaces and the effect of daylight seeping through
the ceiling together with the movement of the landscape all work toward this end. The
fifth faade of this structure, the roof, has been formed with fissures similar to the earths
crust; this open urban open area has a panoramic relationship with the environment.
The functions of the restaurant, movie theater and entertainment centers overflow onto
the open space of the roof. The three-tier facade on the Medya Yolu side, with its sinuous shell, is covered with advertising panels reflecting objects of a colorful world.

Since the beginning of the 1980s, in keeping with the plan to move small and middlesized industries to the outskirts of the city, the construction of the kitelli Organized
Industrial Region has commenced. Due to the building of the Atatrk Olympic Stadium
and the Olympic Village in this region, the investment in mid-sized industry and fragmented settlements quickly filled the region, thus causing it to remain within the city limits. Due to its strategic position on Atatrk Boulevard, which connects Atatrk Airport
and the E-5 Highway to the Mahmutbey neighborhood, as well as the TEM Highway
and the Media Express Route, which runs parallel, this region has become an artery for
media management centers since the mid 1990s.
As of 2004, subsequent to the declaration of the area between the Media Express Route
and Mahmutbey Bridge as the Central Business Zone, factories and industrial enterprises on wide expanses of land have gradually made way for media centers, large-scaled
offices, hotels, housing and shopping mall projects.
In 2006, following the relocation of the Edip Thread Factory from the intersection of the
Media Express Route and the Baclar-Halkal overpass, the investors launched a competition for the development of a two-phased project consisting of a shopping mall and
residential towers in the area; three different groups of architects were invited to join.
At the end of the competition the concept project presented by the partnership of db
Architecture & asp Architekten was selected.
The starting point of the design was to divide the mass of the building with three strips
of different widths to let natural light filter through the divides into the interior, while
the roofs, formed from corrugated plates, were designed as green public parks. The
complex covers 222,000 square meters of interior area on land measuring 55,560 square meters; the green public park was planned to replace the green field originally here,
which was lost due to the intensity of the planning in the area. However, due to the
economic crisis, this implementation had to be abandoned, and it only proved possible
to build an open amphitheater on a limited area.
As the perception of the structure from the Media Express Route was to act as another
input for the design, the inclined blind surfaces on the road faades were designed as
screens; unfortunately, due to legal regulations, these spectacular screens could not be
implemented.
In order to increase the prismatic and monolithic effect of the complex and to emphasize the corrugated texture of the roof, that is, in brief, to increase the visibility of
the form instead of the surface, the entire structure was painted black and only a few
windows were made.
What distinguishes the structure from the general shopping mall typology is the reflection of the mutable shell-like roof on the interior area and its ability to create a dynamic
and three-dimensional perception of space, in contrast to the rational plan. Skylights
measuring 200 meters divide the mass into three; the canyon form, which enables the
light from the roof to reach down to the parking area and the changing gallery space
are all effective in creating this variable perception. The 212 Istanbul Power Outlet Shopping Center, which constantly changes and increases visual perception as one moves
past it, has a privileged position among shopping center typology due to its cinematic
space organization.

The objective in designing the Addresistanbul project was to create a single unified
piece that announces its importance with the creation of a unique tension; it diverges
from the segmented context and establishes itself by transforming the existing space.
Viewed from a distance, the rays of light that metamorphose the geometric structure
disintegrate along the height of the building, vanishing into the sky; up close, the structure constitutes the principal unit of the landscape. By being reduced to a single point,
the entrance breaks away from the existing context, something that is not possible
when access is at various elevations; the entrance is through a foyer at the furthest
possible point from the building. Sales units, which form their own characteristics, and
the pathway that glides between them constitute the elements of a unique experience,
which is both horizontally and vertically disconnected from the existing ground.

Addresstanbul is located in Istanbul, Okmeydan, positioned on the intersection of Ciftecevizler and Darulaceze avenues; in order to create a commercial center focused on
design, Addresstanbul was transformed from the existing triplex building that measured 12,300 square meters. Designers created a range of extraordinary design methods
to deal with this triplex structure, which is totally closed to the outside; instead of creating a design suitable for the present building and its structure, the design team chose
to apply a challenging and striking design, with an irrational plan. This approach ignores
the existing structure, thus creating its own context.
In order for the intended arrangement to achieve autonomy, a range of striking design
strategies was developed for the existing structure. To eliminate the existing space, i.e.,
to make it invisible, at the beginning of the design process methods to demolish the
context were sought; to this end, a no-contact design approach was developed. The
structure does not touch the existing building or its structure. Thus, the tunnel entrance
resembling a covered walkway that opens out onto the exterior of the building is the
main ways of gaining access to the present structure without touching it. This extension, which turns the inside world out, has a cathartic effect on visitors coming in from
the maelstrom of the metropolis and its dimly lit interior prepares them for the tranquil
atmosphere within. Another tactic of this mental intrusion that is in contrast to the
usual renewal techniques and conventions is the creation of a sense of deep darkness
and a loss of direction through the illusion of flooring and columns that are untouchable, but still visible; this illusion has been created by painting the components black. At
this very point, the conditions for reconstructing the context have been constructed:
within a deep and bottomless darkness, the disconnected glass sales units, accessed
along a zigzag pathway, have been irregularly scattered among concrete supports.
Within the forest of columns, the diffusion strategy, seeping within the existing rational
world, that is, within this atmosphere, drifts about, presenting another schematic claim:
planned irregularity. This assertion is made both in its own context of creativity and
based on its claim to demonstrativeness through a veiled metaphor; the metaphor of
floating islands over a sea of gravel. These lifted pathways, evoking an association of
a constructive landscape, not only connect the shop windows of the boutiques and
shops, which are divorced from the ground, by using their aesthetic worlds to pierce
the darkness, but also creates a formless circulation net over the sea of gravel. Thus,
this zigzag path network that tacks together these fragmented islands, each with a
different aesthetic language and world, becomes the most important construction element for establishing the context. This formless road network not only gives meaning
to the growing progression pattern, but also to the planned irregularity. Walking on this
constantly shifting path among the sales units, one finds oneself in the middle of a cinematic environmental experience which triggers perceptions and is enriched through
the senses.
In keeping with the concept retailing operating model that was chosen, AddresIstanbul
presents temporary exhibition units, guerilla counters, rather than large stores. Beyond
introducing a revolutionary operating installation which redefines retailing principles,
this structure is one of the most extraordinary recently-built commercial centers; it has
an erotic charm, a mysterious atmosphere and an ambiguity that seduce the visitors.

The balance between the location of Citys Nianta on a valuable parcel of land in
what is a densely built-up area, and the high standards and requirements of the project
presented a challenge. The main objective during the three-year project was to correctly locate the functions of the shopping mall and to ensure that the building was in
keeping with the Nianta vernacular. Integration with historic and urban architecture,
automated communication and preventive systems, and the use of first-rate materials
were the primary objectives. Architectural and interior decorative elements were meticulously selected by the project team during the design and construction stages, with
top quality materials and technological details being used. In addition to many unique
features, Citys Nianta, an intelligent building, also boasts Europes largest outdoor
LED screen.

Citys Shopping Mall, which is located on Tevikiye Avenue within the dense urban
texture of Nianta, also has a faade on Akkavak Street running parallel to Tevikiye
Avenue. Construction of the mall commenced in 2005 on land that had been vacant for
a long period of time, and which was being used as a parking lot after the demolition
of ili Terakki Secondary College, subsequent to its relocation to its Levent campus in
1994. The shopping complex was designed in keeping with ili Municipalitys request
for 3 cinemas, 3 theatre stages, an art gallery and a parking lot with a capacity for a
minimum of 780 vehicles; the mall consists of 10 floors below ground and 7 floors
above ground level. Unlike other shopping centers within the perimeter of the spreading city, the spatial organization and distribution plan of Citys Shopping Mall, which
is positioned on a narrow parcel within the city, is one of Istanbuls leading examples
of new-generation vertical shopping centers positioned within the urban network; the
shopping mall was compelled to continue the habit of shopping on the avenue within
the structure, and to expand vertically with the careful positioning of the necessary
components, stacked one on top of the other.
The complex, with circulation around a central gallery space, similar to the traditional
spaces in shopping centers that have been developed to transfer the intense commercial activity to the upper levels, stretches 40 meters underground with the 1600-vehicle
parking lot which occupies 6 levels, and rises 24 meters above ground with the 7 levels that fulfill the shopping mall role. Unlike other shopping centers, the height of the
building has been kept at the same level as the silhouette of the road to establish a
relationship with the historic texture of the city; urban architectural repertoires, such as
precast facade elements, moldings, and natural stone-coated bases have been used in
the design of the faade, which also features window spaces.
In addition to the two faades on the roads, one side of the complex is adjacent to the
existing residential texture, while the other side acts as a third faade, being adjacent
to the garden of the Nianta Rt Uzel Technical and Vocational Girls School. This
allows the structure to round off the corner on the side that faces the school and the
Tevikiye Road intersection, forming a tower-like structure which can alternatively be
used as a media surface.
The 9-level elliptical atrium, measuring 10x20 meters and positioned at the centre of
the shopping mall, is the definitive characteristic of the building that that takes it beyond being a mere sculptural space and imbues all levels with varying light play; this
atrium is influential in creating spatial substantiality and visual continuity, thanks to the
escalators and panoramic elevators. The cinema halls, which structurally require a large
amount of space, have been positioned on the rooftop of the building to complete the
atrium and to emphasize the facade endings of the complex, which have rounded roof
forms.
The material culture and luxurious design that is predominant throughout the atmosphere of the interior of the complex is also manifest on the parking lot levels, in the
transparent elevators, the wood-panelled escalators and in the restrooms with LED
lighting and screens, as well as in all service areas. This elite design and sense of luxury
has also influenced the management approach, and many service personnel, such as
uniformed concierges, elevator hostesses, cloakroom attendants, and baggage room
attendants have been employed in the shopping mall for the first time in Turkey.

Forum Aydin, built on an area of 76,000 square meters as an open-air shopping mall on
the Aydin-Denizli highway, has a total indoor area of 36,000 square meters. Much of the
material used in the foundations, covering and exterior of the project contains elements
reflecting the natural landscape of Aydin; earth tones of yellow, orange and brown have
been utilized in the flooring, providing the mall with a warm ambiance, complementing
the environment and intensifying the indoor-outdoor contrast. Elements unique to the
Aegean region, such as regional products and vegetation, have also been employed in
the design. While a different concept is utilized in each space, the project as a whole
offers a structural and logical continuity due to the common elements that unite all of
its different aspects.

In 2004, the Turkmall Company, first established in 1992, merged with the Dutch investor Multi Corporation, an expert in developing urban shopping malls to form the Multi
Turkmall partnership and through the Forum shopping mall chain the concept of lowrise shopping malls covering a large ground space began to be adopted throughout Turkey. The first example in this chain was the Forum Bornova outdoor shopping centre,
which went into operation in zmir in 2006; this was followed by the Mersin branch in
2007 and the Denizli, Trabzon and Aydn branches in 2008. Due to climatic conditions,
the only malls of the 22 that have been constructed or that are in the planning phase
to be built according to the outdoor concept are those in Bornova, Aydn, Mersin and
Antalya.
The Forum Aydn Shopping Mall, the largest shopping centre in the city, is positioned
at the eastern outskirts of the city of Aydn at a point where the residential areas end
and the large industrial texture begins. The complex, located at the intersection of Dou
Gazi Boulevard, which leads from the historic city center, and the entrance to the Adnan
Menderes University campus, continues the pedestrian flow from the city centre and
the university within its own setting; the adjacent street and square pattern thereby
created continues this urban artery as far as Denizli Boulevard, which extends to the
southern border of the area.
The complex, built on a 76,000 square meter orchard of citrus trees near the Old Aydn
Textile Factory on the zmir-Aydn-Denizli highway, is Aydns largest shopping centre,
with 29,400 square meters of shopping space available for lease, 7 cinemas, a hypermarket, and parking space for 800 vehicles.
The blueprints and concept designs for the Forum chains were done by the Dutch group, T+T Design, which is a part of Multi Corporation. T+T Design carries out comprehensive research in order familiarize itself with the various aspects of the relevant city, thus
producing a structure that is in keeping with the cultural environment and architectural
vernacular. Within the context of the Olive Village, concept produced for Forum Aydn,
conceptual sets were used as interconnectivity, whiteness, intimacy, vantage, variety,
centralism, water fountains, discovery, thresholds, color and light versus shade. In keeping with these, a fictional village bearing elements of Aegean and Mediterranean
architecture was built. In the context of this essentialist approach, which strives to
find common ground, an organic spatial setting was created that consisted of narrow
streets and squares; thematic components, such as Zeytin Meydan (Olive Square), Yasemin Sokak (Jasmine Street), and Begonvil Sokak (Bougainvillea Street) were formed to
create the Mediterranean culture by using diverse architectural typology and materials,
as well as tectonic and detailed repertoires

stinye Park, master-planned on over 13 hectares, features a range of retail, restaurant

and entertainment venues serviced by four levels of underground parking. The projects
centerpiece is the Grand Rotunda, a dramatic arena-like space beneath a scalloped,
segmented roof structure. Supported by a central exterior mast and suspension cables,
this 100-meter-diameter hard-shell canopy encloses a food court, a 10-screen stadiumseating cinema, themed retail and an amphitheatre. The open-air Lifestyle Center, with
outdoor parking, street-side shopping and an additional two levels of exclusive retail
shops, offers a relaxed atmosphere, while the chain stores located under the massive
skylights and abundant natural lighting of the three-level Fashion Zone present a fresh
take on an enclosed mall.

Bykdere Street, the most important artery along the northern route on the European
Side, connects Bykdere to Sariyer while also connecting stinye Bayiri Street with
stinye and other residential areas along the Bosphorus coast. The traffic density in this
area has steadily increased with the construction of stinyePark Shopping Center and
stinyePark Complex on the stinye Bayiri Street, the transference of the Istanbul Stock
Exchange Market (IMKB) to its new building on this street in 1995 and the relocation of
the American Istanbul Consulate General here. In addition to the educational and sports
facilities in the surrounding area, this complex, positioned near the largest residential
area, Pinar Mahallesi, serves a dense residential area by the Bosporus coast.
The stinye Park Shopping Mall, designed as of 2003 and opened to the public in 2007,
was the product of cooperation between the American DDG company, which designed
the Akmerkez Shopping Center, and local partner, merler Architects. With 270,000
square meters of construction area and 87,000 square meters of store space, stinye
Park contains approximately 300 stores, 40 cafes and restaurants; also 64 escalators and
21,000 square meters of panelling has been used. This enormity, which is a problem
in physical terms as well as in scale, necessitates the fragmental design and thematic
zoning of the structure.
stinye Park is seen as going beyond the conventional shopping mall typologies and
spatial organizations with a different and innovative layout and as having been designed to satisfy the constantly changing consumer generation. Taking into consideration
the fact that street store and regional-market shopping is back in fashion with shoppers, the installation is zoned according to various user profiles and themes such as Life,
Culture and Fashion and there are three space installations that have been added one
to another: Square, Park and Bazaar.
The glass-domed entrance area in the middle of the complex known as the square
measures 100 meters in diameter; this area acts as a social center thanks to two media walls and exhibition and events domains, while organizing the circulation flow and
connecting thematic sections. Unlike other shopping centers, the 12 cinemas including
an IMAX Hall are located in the lower floors of the center enlivening the space together
with the food-courts. One of the most extraordinary thematic features of stinye Park,
the open area Park, is on the top floor, using the advantage of elevation; this enables
vehicles to enter the center as with a city center. In this luxurious area, also known
as Shopping Street, there are two-storey high-end stores and unlike in other shopping
centers, each brand has permission to design its own storefront.
Another hallmark of stinye Park is the Bazaar themed area, which includes specialized
sales units that focus on specific topics; here food sales can be made. Although there is
no specific food section and every shop is randomly distributed in the area, the majority
of eating places are in this area. Independent from stinye Park, there is a gated community called stinye Park consisting of 400 luxurious residential single and duplex units
of 130-520 square meters. This area is connected to the shopping mall via a special link.

M1 Meydan Merter Shopping Mall features sustainable modern architectural standards

with natural air-conditioning and a mobile roof. The shopping mall creates a passage
that links transport-access points to the most densely-populated residential area of Istanbul, Merter, offering the convenience of daily shopping for locals. The mall is located
at a point which is also accessible for non-residents. The glass roof, which is positioned
over the opening at the center of the shopping mall, provides solar energy, thus saving
energy and reducing costs; the mall benefits from the daylight and natural air-conditioning created by the semi-open roofing system, which can be closed when necessary. It
takes 8 minutes for the glass roof to open or close; when the rain sensors are activated
the roof closes automatically. The use of the shopping mall as a passage by the locals
creates an interactive social infrastructure. In joint participation with the local council a
park is being built in front of the environmentally conscious mall.

Tabanlioglu Architects was invited by the investment group Metro Group to participate
in a workshop in 2005 for mraniye Meydan Shopping Mall, and found the chance to
realize the same groups other extraordinary shopping mall project, M1 Meydan Merter,
in 2009.
Adjacent to the dense residential texture of Gngren, positioned on an eight-meter
incline between the Old London Tarmac and Mehmet Akif Ersoy Avenue, M1 Meydan
Merter was intended to make a connection between the residential area to the west
and the tramline to the east. To this end, the proposed pedestrian circulation between
the residential area and the tramline was central to the design, forming an extraordinary street construction that proceeds through the middle of the shopping mall and
divides the shopping mall into two. Departing from the controlled and closed environment of conventional shopping malls, thanks to the permeable shopping mall arrangement, this structure offers a totally new typology, creating a shopping street, a genuine
public environment without security controls or X-ray filters.
Although the inner street divides the structure into two blocks, the brute concrete roof
plates are continued, thus creating a fragmental/whole composition. These wide eaves
that surround the structure create shadowy semi-open areas in the inner street while
also giving the effect of a high-ceilinged colonnade on the eastern side thanks to the
8-meter difference in elevation. This modern interpretation of the portico is reminiscent
of a classical order, and consists of 7 two-story brute concrete columns, giving the
structure an effect of simplicity and permanence. In contrast to the conventional attitude based on a plurality of materials employed in shopping malls, in order to create a
challenging simplicity and clarity, the reinforced concrete structure has been exposed;
in keeping with this brutalist attitude the number of materials used in the structure has
been strictly limited. Surfaces other than the display windows have been covered with
light-permeable semi-opaque materials, deepening the surface of the structure, while
enhancing variability in transparency. This quest can also be seen to function in the
upper covering of the inner street. A transparent sliding roof transforms the inner street
into a passage when necessary, protecting the structure from external conditions while
controlling the level of inner light.
As with the mraniye Meydan Shopping Mall, in M1 Meydan Merter Shopping Mall renewable energy sources are used in order to reduce carbon-dioxide emission and energy
consumption. The solar collectors on the roof provide air-conditioning for the structure,
reducing carbon emissions by 308 tons per annum.

The Meydan retail development performs as a true urban centre in one of the fastest
growing areas of Istanbul. Through its geometry and circulation strategy, the complex
anticipates its subsequent integration into a dense inner city context as an alternative
to the usual out-of-town retail box development. The different retail spaces are clustered together and parking is placed underground, liberating the ground entirely for a
large urban square in the centre of the scheme. To organise the retail volumes as an
extension of the surrounding, all roofs are connected to the surrounding topography at
several points and designed as gardens with extensive vegetation. The experience of
shopping is in this way continuously connected with the urban space beyond. Sustainability is an important aspect of the design where all ventilation is natural, heating and
cooling comes from boreholes rather than traditional mechanical plant (a first in Turkey)
and solar panels power all public lighting.

When the first branch of Turkey was established in mraniye in 2005, the decision was
made to build Meydan Shopping Mall in this area to derive benefit from IKEAs power
to attract consumers. Five architectural offices, Foreign Office Architects (FOA), Chapman
Taylor, JSK Architekten, Bohte Richter Teherani (B.R.T.) and Tabanlioglu Architects were
invited to a workshop in 2005 to design this mall. The British FOA teams design proposing the creation of an artificial topography was selected. FOA, aiming to create an
artificial topography in order to reintroduce the social dynamics found in historic city
centers to the contemporary shopping mall typology, created an open plan through
which everyone can stroll, without being impeded by any physical or visual control;
this was a pioneering example for new-generation shopping malls in Turkey, offering an
extraordinary public environment open to all. Meydan Shopping Mall has transformed
the mentality of the closed-box form of shopping malls, which has spread throughout
the world since 1956 and which isolates the shopper from the outside world with artificial lighting and a mechanically-controlled climate. Instead of limiting peoples mobility
by placing them in a vacuum and killing urban life, this approach adds a dynamic to
social life with its open-area arrangement, providing a municipal open area and its accoutrements, all of which had been lacking in mraniye.
At the same time, the grass-covered roof plate over the units forming the central square of the complex transforms the surface of the structures into areas on which one can
stroll and relax, as well as providing the interior with daylight; this feature also insulates
the area from traffic noise and seasonal temperature fluctuations, and is a feature seen
in other FOA projects. Thanks to the green-roofed areas, part of the ecological design
of the structure, heat emitted into the region is reduced and the use of alternative
energy reduces the carbon-dioxide emissions. Meydan Shopping Mall has a closed area
of 70,000 m, and covers a total area of 128,000 m. The sustainable energy approach
has minimized dependence on a mechanical air-conditioning system, facilitated the
creation of shaded areas in the exterior and maximized use of natural light in the interior; energy is provided from photovoltaic panels in the parking area and geothermal
energy is used for all heating and cooling activities. Thus, Meydan Shopping Mall is able
to save a huge amount of energy and is the most ecologically sustainable shopping
mall in Turkey.

Panora, located to the south of the city near to an existing residential area, was designed not only as a shopping mall, but was also intended to have an impact on the
environment. One of the main objectives was to draw the sports and social nature of
the Eymir-ODT forest into the project and to include spatial arrangements that guide
us from here to the Dikmen Valley. The establishment of a visual relationship with the
immediate surroundings was necessitated by the interior design in which transparency
was emphasized with the assistance of northerly light. The aim was to create a city
boulevard effect in the circulation halls in the two-floor shop units. The effect of the city
area was continued with a linear street plan and various forms of atrium. The building
was awarded the ICSC European Shopping Mall Award, 2009 Achievement Award.

The Panora Shopping and Lifestyle Center, which can be accessed from Turan Gune
Boulevard, a road that runs along the southern shore of Eymir Lake in Ankara, was
constructed on the site of the former Parliamentary Lodgings; the area includes green
land with social facilities and was opened to the public in 2007.
This four-storey shopping mall was built on an inclined parcel of land surrounded by the
OR-AN residential estate, the Diplomatic Estate housing a number of consular structures
and the ParkOran residential units. The center was designed with maximum transparency in order to derive the most benefit from the northern light and the view of the
newly-landscaped Diplomatic Park. As a departure from the conventional style of interior shopping malls, the design of Panora Shopping and Lifestyle Center offers access from
a variety of elevations and the shops consist of an upper and a lower story. This creates
a great deal of variety in spatial perception, something that is unique when compared
to other shopping malls. The classic cross circulation pattern has been diversified by
the addition of a gigantic transparent dome 38 meters in diameter over the center. This
creates an impressive quality of light in the interior, enhancing the visual and spatial
perception of the space achieved by the duplex circulation.
The arcades of cafs and restaurants along the front faade, which can operate outdoors as well as in the interior, have seating areas at the rear enabling the customers to
enjoy a view of the Diplomatic Park. These venues continue to operate even after the
shopping mall is closed encouraging the social life in the area to continue.
The Panora Shopping and Lifestyle Center distinguishes itself from other consumer areas in Ankara with the impressive atmosphere of the space that has been created in the
interior and which is carried through in the treatment of the faade. The center raises
the bar in terms of architectural quality with its high precision finishing details and the
materials used.

Located in Pendik, on the E-5 highway, this mall is in an industrial development area.
The main criteria that determined the design and form were based on the location.
The project is protected from the noise of the busy E-5 highway; a different approach
was taken by forming a sheltered outdoor square that acts as the assembly area. The
objective was to ensure that the square was constantly alive, with pedestrian access to
this area forming an assembly center for the surrounding areas. In particular, the lower
and upper terraces have a unique architecture which combines the outdoor and indoor
spaces in a flowing transition. The shopping mall functions as a circulation area for two
outdoor squares. The fact that the entrance of the building, positioned on the corner
of the TEM highway, is located in the inner section creates the impression of a screen,
making the building appear inviting when viewed from outside. White solid precast
elements and a seamless surface coating were used for the faade.

Pendorya Shopping Mall, positioned at the Tersane Kprl Crossroads between Kaynarca and Gzelyal on the E-5 Highway does not so much serve central Pendik as its
outer-lying neighbourhoods of Gzelyal, Orhangazi and Kavakpnar. Positioned on the
Kurtky-Pendik link road to Sabiha Gken International Airport, which also connects
the E-80 Anatolian Road and the E-5 Highway, the Pendorya Shopping Mall is a pioneering example of the transformation of industrial areas into shopping and business
centers; such efforts are supported by the Kartal Urban Transformation Project, which
began with the opening of the afore-mentioned airport in 2001. While the industrial
nature of structures is echoed in nearby buildings such as the Malazlar Match Factory,
the Marmara Flour Plant, and the Sika Factory, the tendency to rapid transformation in
this industrial area is evidenced by the Pendik Metro Gross Market constructed on the
location of the former Alemdar Chemical Factory, Bimeks Istanbul Teknoport across the
way, and Neomarin SC Pendik, the first shopping mall in the area, which opened in 2009.
The design of the second shopping mall to open in the area, Pendorya Shopping Mall,
was the result of a competition to which a number of firms were invited. The determining factors in the design were the perception of the structure from the road and the
concern to isolate the building from external noise coming in from the highway.
In keeping with the curvature of the terrain, the rhomboid structure with rationalized
rounded corners includes an independent island that can be accessed by bridges placed inside the middle gallery space, thus expanding the rentable space. The mall provides a ratio of 67% rentable area to the total floor space, which in terms of shopping mall
design is considered to be the most important indicator of high performance.
The organization of a single corridor linear complex surrounding a gallery space enables
both an inverted and closed arrangement, providing not only a conventional interior
gallery-space installation, but also making possible, in the words of the designers, the
creation of a synergy between shops.
The predetermined nature of a convex form for the structure led to the design of a
continuous and monolithic outer space, creating a concave reflection onto the interior
space and having the effect of gathering around a nucleus. One of the most striking qualities of the structure is the creation of an open square on the top floor in the middle
island of the structure produced from steel. Although this is intended to be a decorative
structural feature, it also serves as an upper terrace that can be used by smokers in
light of the smoking regulations in closed and semi-closed areas. In addition, an open
area was created at the entrance, two floors below ground level. This curvilinear massive surface, which surrounds the lower ground and enlivens the stores by creating a
sheltering environment, also provides access to these floors from the parking lot.
In order to not destroy the massive and monolithic effect of the textured precast white
side-panelling, the advertising on the building faade has been separated by colored
bands; one of the most creative solutions for this problem in faade design to be developed in Turkey.

The enormous structures that are found in cities add a variety in scale to the city, as
well as creating new centers of attraction and a tension in design. Prestige Mall was
designed to appear as a ship berthed on the side of a green that is to be included in a
recreational lagoon area. The frame creates horizontal and vertical movements of the
faade, continuing throughout the building, and minimizing the perceivable size of the
building with smooth transitions. It is the norm for a surplus of materials to be used in
large commercial buildings of this nature. Generally, the use of dark colors is avoided
and materials are presented in light-filled spaces; however, here bold use of black was
made to veil objects within the darkness. Black symbolizes nobility, fragility, night, concealment, disappearance, and infinity. This building demonstrates that it is possible to
achieve spatial opulence in architecture with a minimum of materials.

Positioned around the Baheehir Uydu Kent social facility on an incline near a recreational lake, Prestige Mall is the first large shopping mall to serve Baheehir.
Intended to go against the grain of the common eclectic understanding of form and
materials in shopping mall design, Prestige Mall has been formed by a strategy of deliberate alienation, expressed by the architect in a metaphorical way as a ship berthed
on a green area. The mall is positioned on an incline, increasing the monolithic and
compact effect. The impact of the structure is reinforced by the contrast it makes with
the natural environment in which it is set. The completely introverted arrangement of
this shopping mall is created by the tension between the plate mentality and monolithic effect. Despite the monolithic and static effect of the structure from a distance,
when observed at close range it can be seen that the form has been abstracted and reduced to contours, and dynamism has been created through fluidity and continuance.
The glass surfaces between the contours of the structure break up the monolithic effect
of the structure, and also multiply the reflection of the images that are found within
the project. This extraordinary experiment in contradiction in architectural expression
by the designers adds a perceptual depth to the structure while creating a high-tension
atmosphere within.
Disciplining the form and variety of materials, making intellectual investments through
architectural expression and atmosphere, UrasXDileki have succeeded in employing
ambiguity as a design strategy to provide meaning and depth to the structure. Unlike
other shopping malls, Prestige Mall uses a simple arrangement of the interior space
around a gallery, which is an uncommon feature in shopping centers. The limited use
of materials, the shaded areas providing a rich contrast between darkness and muted
light and the brilliant reflective surfaces that multiply the images to create an illusion
make us realize the ordinariness of the common gray world of shopping malls under
their naked light.
With its strong form, plain spatial construction and the harmony of the materials with
the architectural atmosphere, Prestige Mall is one of the most extraordinary experiments in Turkey in terms of architectural expression.

The city council requested that the Urla city square, memorial area and the former bus
station be revamped to service both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The shopping mall,
with a two-story underground parking garage, was built on the commercial plot; designed as a passage connecting the central areas and the different levels, it also functions
as a transportation axis. It was envisaged that the shopping area in the square would
serve as a meeting/promenade area, and would be functional while defining the area.
The shopping area connects the streets that extend from the shops and the different
levels of the town; these streets have given new identities to the local districts. Passages with arcades were designed to create a series of shade/shelter, with all seasons
being taken into account.

The project of redesigning the old Provincial Bus Station located in the historical city
center of Urla, Izmir, as a modern shopping center and connecting this complex to the
ceremonial square in front of the municipal building is an example of the drive in Turkey to create public spaces in historical city centers.
In a similar way to laterally-spread open-air shopping centers in the same area, this
structure employs an urban architectural repertoire on a more modest scale and in a
plain vernacular, using elements in the historical city center such as a square, a courtyard, a passage and an arcade. Owing to the recently proposed road, the Urla Bazaar
and Square form part of the first stage in the transformation of the city center into a
pedestrian zone, re-organizing the circulation of the city center to enable unimpeded
pedestrian access from different levels. The porous nature of this urban sponge absorbs the urban flow yet remains permeable. A range of different urban rooms and niches can be created and can form strong historical connections while, due to its modest
scale, the conventional architectural repertoire and the culture of the materials are still
observable.
The simple vernacular observed in the design of the bazaar complex, the perception
of visual continuity and permeability extend to the ceremonial grounds via a prospered series of arboreal texture, thus introducing diversification with volume and shaded
surfaces.
One of the most interesting interconnections between the bazaar complex and the urban texture is the bridge that has an extraordinary support system allowing transition
between the Old Repair Shop and the existing building.

The Flatofis project entailed transforming a building originally designed as a shopping

center into a modern business center with offices, conference rooms and a fitness center. The buildings transformation enabled office functionality with minimal intervention. As the shopping center had not required lighting, the entire bearing-curtain system
was located in the exterior facade -- making it difficult to meet the lighting needs of
an office building. Rather than destroying the curtain system, the new project created
lighting by opening up three large internal spaces, dividing the building vertically. These
three sections were designed in alignment with three different concepts, presenting
architecturally rich internal spaces with natural lighting, offering an alternative, refreshing environment for the user.

Flatofis is located in the Nianc district of Eyp in a dense residential area close to a
small-scale industrial settlement, the Furnishers Market. Hence, it is situated within
an urban context that is unusual for both offices and shopping malls. Owing to its
proximity to the Istanbul Highway and the Golden Horn Bridge, the complex enjoys a
convenient location, close to the business centers of the European side of the city, thus
providing easy access.
Flatofis, which was designed as a shopping mall and is situated within a construction
area of 105,000 square meters, was the winning submission in a contest arranged by
the commissioning company, which wanted to convert the rough construction area
into a business center. A horizontal restructuring proposal for the conversion into a business center of the existing building whose exterior imposed structural limitations due
to the enclosed construction space necessitated the design of a plan that diverged from
familiar horizontally-spreading business centers. During the process of converting into
office space the existing building that was closed to the exterior and measured approximately 230 meters in length, the designers developed a series of design strategies
and succeeded in creating spatial comfort for the business center as well as fulfilling
the technical requirements. So as to intervene as little as possible with the existing
construction and structure of this enclosed space, one of the most radical decisions of
the design was to divide the long mass into four parts separated by three deep vertical
crevices which allowed for the creation of light wells to supply the interior with essential natural light. The crevices, which measure 80 x12 meters, break up the monolithic effect of the exterior; the light wells also create an effect of division from the five-floored
interior. In addition to this effect, owing to three different conceptual approaches to the
light wells, variations and a feeling of spatial abundance were created on the facades
that overlook the wells. Each well, differentiated thematically, has a separate entrance,
further emphasizing the partition of the monolithic structure into 4 separate blocks that
are related in spite of functioning independently. In an attempt to solve the problem of
the sales areas being positioned close to the exterior facade, due to the construction
originally being planned as a shopping mall, vertical circulation areas were created and
made as transparent as possible.
In contrast to high-rise office buildings which are concentrated around a nucleus, Flatofis offers ample office space and a loft-like new work environment and typology.
The other characteristics that differentiate Flatofis from typical office buildings are the
restaurant-like dining areas and fast-food court, the indoor swimming pool, fitness center and spa and shopping center, all under one roof. The service quarters are stacked
vertically and areas necessary to the business center such as seminar and conference
rooms are successfully blended into one area.

The architectural design and management of Forum Istanbul Shopping Mall was conducted by ERA, working at various stages in conjunction with companies like T+T and
BDP. The structure has a total area of 400,000 square meters on a 186,000 square-meter
plot of land in Bayrampaa. Based on the concept of a city within a city, the faade design gives a sense of a complex made up of different buildings. The 28,000 square-meter
office building situated between the shopping mall and the residential blocks creates a
dialogue between three different masses. The important elements that influenced the
design are the clear approach in the character of the building, and the flexibility and
economic use of office space. The elegant simplicity of the construction of the office
building in stark contrast to the more lively and colorful architecture of the Decathlon
building on the same plot distinguishes it from the surrounding architectural texture.

Opened in 1994, the Central Istanbul Bus Station in the Bayrampaa district within the
urban center on the European side, is situated on the European highway (TEM) and
connected by the Metris-Esenler bypass and the Istanbul Highway, therefore offering
easy access to the Anatolian side over the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge; for this reason
there has been a rapid appreciation in the area. Forum Istanbul Shopping Mall, built in
the district of Kocatepe affiliated with Bayrampaa, was constructed on an empty plot
measuring 186,000 square meters on the intersection of 50th Yl Street and the European highway (TEM) and lies between the Aksaray-Airport metro-line and the Central
Istanbul Bus Station. This building has an intensive program and a massive surface area
and is in fact the largest shopping complex not only in Turkey and Anatolia, but also in
Europe.
In addition to the shopping mall, Forum Istanbul houses the Forum Istanbul Office covering 28,000 square meters of space, and 558 apartments in the residential estate called
Yorum Istanbul Houses, designed by DB Architecture, covering an area of 54,500 square
meters. Thus beyond being a commercial, cultural and sporting center, Forum Istanbul
also includes residential and office buildings as dominant actors in the urban pattern.
The complex is located in a fragmentary urban fabric, which is disrupted by the main
transport arteries; owing to its diversified program, the complex answers the needs for
urban refurbishment in the adjacent districts of Kartaltepe and Muratpaa. By assuming
this public role, the complex, whose design concept is a city within a city and is based
on the use of urban repertoires such as boulevards, streets, monuments, squares and
courtyards, justifies the claim that urban life can be re-generated in this region. In order
to avoid a monolithic and monotonous urban environment, and also in order to cope
with the huge size, a design strategy was produced that was composed of fragmented
masses, and instead of being oriented towards an undefined external environment,
this is oriented towards the inner-world that is to be created, thus developing an introspective structure. The structure focuses on the shape and richness of the materials
so as to break up the mass effect; owing to the variety of scale that has been created,
the language of design has a pluralistic grammar. Moreover, in order to provide different experiences for the users, a series of concepts have been developed to eliminate
uniformity and monotony.
The conglomerate, identifiable through different parts concentrated in a particular area,
goes beyond the idea of a center; in accordance with the parceling design-concept, new
synergies are targeted around different themes, and instead of being decentralized
and dispersed while growing, new patterns are given room to take shape around their
own nucleus. The whole is not to be designed at once, but like the metropolis itself,
this non-directional mass conveys the possibility of independent parts standing together; the nature of being open to growth and additions suggests an open-ended and
flexible structure. Confronting the reality of the metropolis and taking as an example
its conglomerate-style growth model and programmatic richness, Istanbul Forum, with
this unusual approach that goes beyond the familiar typologies of consumer culture, is
the forebear of a new rationality.

Sapphire, a residential and shopping mall project, is a structure in harmony with the
tall buildings surrounding it, yet is still able to preserve the human scale with environmentally friendly solutions. The faade, consisting of two independent shells, creates a
buffer zone between the inner and outer zone. While this protects the building against
adverse weather, air pollution, and noise, the zone also provides natural ventilation,
and thus less energy is used for air-conditioning. The planted areas, which have been
designed as courtyards on every third floor, provide a natural and warm atmosphere.
There are common social areas every ninth floor. The glass roof that widens from the
fourth floor down and covers the building surface, has been extended to act as horizontal skirting, smoothly curving around and covering the shopping and dining units, thus
protecting the integrity.

Bykdere Avenue and the district of 4th Levent, an area popular with the service
sector in Istanbul whose integration with the global network commenced in the mid1980s, has become a favorite for business, entertainment, and residential investments
since the opening of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge in 1988 due to the direct link between
the bridge and this area. Istanbul Sapphire has a strategic position near the Fatih Sultan
Mehmet Bridge access road in this district defined as the Central Business Zone and has
the distinction of being Turkeys tallest building with a total of 61 floors, 10 of which
are underground, topped by a 30-meter antenna. The building has been designed as
a high-rise building with a parking lot, shopping center, and residences, positioned on
top of one another, to meet the increasing demand for luxury residences in the region.
The main entrance of the building is on Bykdere Road, and is positioned on the top
floor of the 4-level shopping center. The other entrance is underground and is directly
linked to the metro station that came into service in 2000. Two private entrances provide access to the residences on the side faade at ground level.
The glass curtain wall of the high-rise building was curved to the horizontal axis from
the fourth floor to form the transparent roof of the shopping center; this ends on the
eaves of the entrance, providing natural sunlight to the shopping center. The shopping
center has been constructed around a long and narrow central gallery within the parcel
boundary and extends underground. Istanbul Sapphire, which transforms the tense relationship of high-rise buildings with the ground into a formal elegant expression, brings
the continuous surface concept, which is visible throughout the vertical and horizontal
axes, to a conclusion with an urban balcony and screen on Bykdere Avenue.
All service and circulation areas of the narrow rectangular residential block, positioned
at a right angle to the shopping center, are located on the two narrow sides to provide
a maximum view from the two broad sides. This unconventional solution in which the
cores are situated on the side enables fire control and structural solutions. In addition,
it allows for the creation of 177 residences, brought together with variations within 4
different residential zones. Each residential zone is set apart from the others with recreational areas such as a golf practice arena and a fitness room, which are at the service
of residence owners. The floor above the shopping center accommodates social areas,
such as a reception room, bar lounge, spa, pool, and restaurant open to residential
users, providing all the units with a better urban view.
This residential building is one of the pioneers in Turkey of the vertical garden technique seen in environmentally-friendly office buildings. It has contributed to the creation
of a new generation of environmentally-friendly residential buildings with gardens on
every 3 floors.
The 225-meter high rooftop viewing terrace and restaurant-bar on the top level of the
building were designed for public access, changing the perception of Istanbul for guests.

Kanyon is a model of new urban life and features a variety of functions such as residences, offices, shops and entertainment; it is surrounded by common green areas in
the heart of the city. The inner pathways, surrounded by courtyards which connect the
buildings and areas to one another, create a sense of an inner city. The smooth curves
on all the buildings, the residential plan, and connecting pathways provide an elegant
flow. The curvilinear form surrounded by greenery gives a sense of multi-functional
streets with depth and spaciousness. The main building is a 25-floor glass surfaced,
reinforced concrete office tower. The residential building with 15 terraced floors overlooks the shopping area. This 40,000 square meter area has been designed to function
beyond being an indoor shopping centre, allowing outdoor shopping in a natural street
environment.

The development of Levent first began in 1947 with the selection of the region as the
location for the Emlak Kredi Bank housing project, and continued with the implementation of the 1954 Beyolu Master Plan, which stipulated a planned suburban and industrial development along the perimeter of the city, leading to an increased number
of industrial and residential areas in Levent.
The preference of the Zincirlikuyu-Esentepe-Gayrettepe region for business centers and
high-rise buildings from the 1980s on has created the Levent-Maslak line; this was influenced even more by the construction of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge in 1988, and
the center of the Central Business Area became Levent as opposed to Esentepe and Beikta. Ease of transportation to this area, Turkeys most important finance center since
the 1990s, was further enhanced with the launch of the metro line in 2000. In addition
to the financial sector, the number of high-end residences, shopping and entertainment
projects in the area has steadily grown.
An international charette was organized to develop a plan for the large-scale residential/business/shopping/entertainment center project that was to be implemented
on the location of the former Eczacba Pharmaceutical Plant, located on a long, thin
parcel opening out onto Bykdere Road; the design proposed by Tabanlolu & Jerde
Partnership International was selected.
The development of a new generation, open-air shopping mall typology as opposed
to an indoor shopping mall like Akmerkez or Metrocity was one of the fundamental
objectives of the project whose construction commenced in 2003.
Some of the main objectives in the design of the Kanyon complex were to establish relationships with the city from various elevations, to provide continuity in areas open to
the public and to ensure an uninterrupted connection of the pedestrian flow from Bykdere Road to Eczac Street behind the complex and the other streets surrounding it.
The open-corridor system of the shopping mall surrounds the curvilinear open-air space, giving the complex a three-dimensional statuesque look by continuously changing
its flowing form throughout the thin and long parcel. These inner pathways and the
bridges linking the buildings and activity areas add an element of surprise offering a rich
visual experience to the visitors through the visual relationships established between
the areas.
The ground-floor square at the end of the main pedestrian circulation, which is also
used as a performance area, has been defined with a quarter sphere shaped entertainment block, and has been designed as an acoustic space in which outdoor performances and concerts can be held.
The 25-floor reinforced-concrete office block located on the Bykdere Road side of
the complex features a custom-designed glass curtain wall, and sunshades that do not
obstruct the outside view. The residential block on top of the shopping mall features a
terrace which follows the curvilinear geometry beneath it. The top section of the block
has 179 studio and family apartments based on 20 different layouts with a surface area
ranging from 80 to 380 square meters. There are also 15 penthouse apartments with
terraces.

The shopping mall is set back from the Eskiehir Highway to create the desired effect of
an urban square at its entrance. Within the mall, venues such as offices, entertainment
centers, a shopping mall, gym, and food court, restaurants and a movie theater have
been individually designed as separate structures. One of the projects most important
features is the central interior street that connects Eskiehir Street to the city park.
Designed to function as a shopping arcade, this strip is not a dead-end street, but acts
as a path to the terraced, lush urban park. The terraced area is positioned between the
housing complexes and the shopping mall; here, people can spend their leisure time
and also benefit from the recreational center, which houses a games pool surrounded
by terraces with cafes. While separating the shopping mall and housing complexes
from one another, the park also provides a visual link between them.

Since the end of 1990s, due to large-scale investments, the area west of Ankara along
the Eskiehir Road-ayyolu axis has become one of the most popular areas for shopping, administrative and congress centers, as well as private hospitals, offices, top-end
residential structures and hotels due to the fact that it is located by an arterial road
and is easy to reach with local transportation. This area, which contains one-third of
the total number of shopping malls in Ankara, as well as a large number of top-end residential areas and university campuses, attracts investors, triggering new investments
for potential users.
Located on the Eskiehir Road opposite the ODT (Middle East Technical University)
campus, Kentpark Shopping Mall is a mixed-use complex offering both office and shopping mall functions as well as the 7-block Kentpark Houses consisting of 465 residential
units being constructed as part of the second stage. This programmed division has been
made clear in the allocation of the land with the heath landscape to the north being
set aside for residential structures. The main entrance is located on the Eskiehir Road
faade; in order to avoid an unattractive and characterless entrance, urban park landscaping has been implemented here. A lake and recreation area located at the far end
of the wide central flow area not only serves the residential blocks under construction
and the shopping mall, but also acts as a natural separation between these two areas.
In addition to the entrance that is located on the edge of this middle flow area, there is
a secondary entrance from the side parcel. As Kentpark Shopping Mall is positioned on
land adjacent to the CEPA Shopping Mall, built by the same architectural team in 2007,
a separate entrance was included in the design for the ground floor of this faade.
The complex is composed of fragmented geometrical masses that have different programs. The integral interior atmosphere of this pluralist and expressionist composition
has been successfully created with the use of a limited variety of materials. There is
extensive use of wood not only on the outer shell of the structure but also in the interior, thus creating a warm environment as opposed to the familiar bland and detached
atmosphere of shopping malls. The Kentpazari market area on the ground floor reinforces this warm atmosphere as it eliminates the insurmountable boundaries between
consumers and the objects and products formed by display windows; for this reason,
this area is one the liveliest and busy sections of the structure. Open terraces surrounding water games ponds on the ground and basement floors and cafes and restaurants
form semi-closed seating areas. These constitute the liveliest areas of the mall even at
times when there are no special events or performances. The food courts, located on
the second floor of the Eskiehir faade, have a semi-closed balcony overlooking the
ODT forest. On the other end of the entrance faade is a 4-storey office structure with
a semi-transparent faade that will be visible from Eskisehir Road. This structure has a
low-rise horizontal spread rather than towering over the shopping mall.

Situated on the boulevard that extends from Ankara mitky to Alacaatl, the building
occupies two separate plots: one rectangular, the other square. The design objective
was to integrate the two plots. The buildings 50 independent commercial units can be
accessed directly from an open area. Thus, life was injected into the streets surrounding
the two sections of the building and the courtyard became more attractive to pedestrians. The office units on both plots have been situated in two symmetrical groups; the
offices are located on the opposing ends of two floors added to the ground level. The
office space has been enriched with mezzanines. Natural light was kept to the fore in
the construction of the exposed concrete facades. Exposed concrete and steel colonnaded segments run along the roadside faade.

To the west of Ankara, the continuity of the urban texture along Eskiehir Road, a road
that determines the axis of development, is disrupted by the large amount of land
belonging to the campuses of METU and Bilkent and the Beytepe campus of Hacettepe
university. Since the 1990s, housing development has leapt beyond the limits of the city
to form a rural fringe; the western boundary of the city demarcated by these education
areas has been overstepped and housing has begun to develop in a fragmented form
along the road network.
Keyport Commercial Centre is located on the western city limits in ayyolu, a semiurbanized rural area between the border of the ankaya municipality and the Ankara
freeway that circles the city. Keyport Commercial Center was built on an empty plot on
the road to mitky-Alacaatl village; the entrance is on Eskiehir Road, which proceeds towards the citys south-west section. The environment suggested a pastoral type
of structure and consequently the structure was created outside the usual typology
of a shopping mall. The facility was built on an inclined plot, over two parcels on the
Alacaatl village road, at the intersection of the roads leading towards Beyler and Incek
villages. The parcel which runs parallel to the road is a long thin rectangle, while the
other one is square in shape. The linear array of stores, separated from the road by an
open car park, foresees that the units can function independently; they were designed
to appear like conventional trade units on the road side.
On the boulevard faade, 20 stores with mezzanines that are independent from the
ground floor were placed side by side; in addition to these, on the square parcel there
are 2 opposing lines of stores, each consisting of 5 units, with an atrium in between.
To integrate this fragmented structure spread over two parcels, continuity is provided
in the vernacular of both the materials and the faade has been continued and by
placing an arcade, a semi-public architectural element, in front of the store units. The
transparent circulation towers that were formed to give access to the mezzanine office
units on some of the store units are at second floor level and are emphasized by their
separation from the main structure.
Keyport Commercial Centre, with its independent working space design and mezzanine
floor plan typology, differs from the typical shopping and commercial places; due to the
brute concrete that has been left open, character has been conferred to the facility.
The carrier system of this structure is radically different from typical faades, which
are covered with economic but physically short-lived cladding. The windows that open
onto the transparent surfaces are highlighted by colored joinery, while the delicate proportions created by the grout in the facades vernacular, the sculptural sunshades that
surge forward as corbels and the dynamic effect created by the angular columns of the
arcade all make this extraordinary facility with its mental investment in architectural
expression distinguished in its environment.
Thanks to these details that are the product of a rational sensitivity, high-precision
workmanship and the refinement of the vernacular distinguished by a simple architectural attitude, Keyport Commercial Center has succeeded in creating a rich atmosphere, overcoming the disadvantages of the urban context in which it is situated by
the strength of design; thus it can be said that this building is one of the most striking
produced in Turkey in recent years.

The objective of this project was to revive and modernize commercial life in Podgorica,
the capital of the Republic of Montenegro. The complex, which has symbolic significance, was built in three construction stages at an important developmental point in the
city; it opened for business in 2009. The square between the indoor market place and
the main building is used as an urban/public area where concerts, shows and conferences are held. The unique characteristic of the project is that, from the first sketches,
a community and public area that goes beyond the standard shopping centre format
has been created. One of the aims of the project was to turn Podgorica, the capital of
the young Republic of Montenegro, into a new social area with an urban characteristic.

The Mall of Montenegro Shopping Mall Complex was implemented as a joint venture
by the Podgorica Municipality and a Turkish entrepreneur. It was constructed on the
site of the citys largest outdoor market, Velica Pijaca, to revive both commercial and
public life, and to modernize the existing outdoor market in the city Podgorica. This is
a city with a population of 170,000 which became the capital of Montenegro after its
independence in 2006, following the disintegration of Yugoslavia.
This complex, which is Podgoricas largest shopping mall, is located on a corner parcel
on the intersection of the Bratstva i Jedinstva Road and Save Kovacevica Boulevard,
parallel to the TEM (Trans-European Motorway) which passes through the city from one
end to the other on a north-south axis. The Drpe Mandica suburb, which is characterized by block residences and small-scale commercial buildings that were built during
the socialist period, is a region of low-income housing; the urban texture is sparse as it
is 4 kilometers from the city center.
This land, which was allocated by the municipality for the purpose of urban development and on which the citys largest street market was established, was required
to have a combined program that would serve a variety of expectations from street
markets to hypermarkets and offices, as well as hotels and stores in which luxury consumer goods would be sold. The 57,000 square meter complex was to be completed
in three stages and featured a hotel, indoor market, a hypermarket, and independent
office areas, all connected to one another. In addition, the shopping mall was to house
recreation areas such as a cinema, a restaurant, cafe, and game units as well as offering
other services such as an indoor garage and service units.
The 17,000 square meter fruit and vegetable market known as the Green Bazaar that
was reinvented with a modern approach converting it into an indoor market constitutes the most significant part of the project. The ground floor of the market accommodates the food counters and dynamic stalls, while the upper floor features apparel and
home-textile oriented stores and stalls that meet day-to-day needs. The fairly large
indoor market, which can be accessed through delicate steel weight bearing elements
and roof trusses, accommodates 900 businesses.
The most impressive part of this expressionist composition is the so-called Piazza composed of masses with a variety of geometric shapes and heights that are brought together create a public square. The right angled and circular indoor market, the shopping
mall, and the hotel and recreation areas surrounding the Piazza, which is located in the
center of the Mall of Montenegro complex, open directly onto the urban activity area
enlivening the square. While the porticoed pathway on both sides of the market area
come to an end in this square, the restaurants and cafes surrounding the Piazza and the
elliptical and statuesque restaurant above the square have very rapidly transformed
this place into the heart of the city.
The Mall of Montenegro is more than just a shopping mall; it is an example of the
characteristic urban transformation that enhances the life quality of an area with the
socialization areas it offers.

Mecidiyeky, within the borders of ili, an important commercial center, has recently
become one of the most striking districts of Istanbul; this region acts as a transfer
point between the European and Asian districts of Istanbul. The rising and descending
dynamic structure has been influenced by the fact that it is on one of the busiest traffic arteries linking the two continents used by 4 million people daily. The movement
achieved by the two seemingly independent masses in opposing directions around the
more transparent mass at the centre creates a delicate atmosphere. Trump Towers is a
project that has brought new energy and a comprehensive infrastructure to the region,
adding to the social life with a public transfer centre that combines residences, working,
shopping and entertainment areas under the same roof.

The high demand for buildings along the Zincirlikuyu-Mecidiyeky line since the early
2000s is a result of the global investment that has occurred along this line since the
early 1990s. Recently, this seems to have increased even more, due to the fact that
Mecidiyeky forms the intersection of the metrobus and subway lines, transforming it
into an important traffic intersection. The Trump Towers, one of the most recent results
of this demand, is composed of two towers, one of which is a 39-level residential tower, and the other a 37-level office tower. The towers emerge from a 340-meter deep,
5-floor shopping center. Unlike the common prismatic high-rise buildings, the Trump
Towers building, one of the most recent representatives of high-rise buildings featuring
inclined surfaces and asymmetric-faade buildings which have recently started to appear in Istanbul, has a dynamic and statuesque perspective. It has an exclusive position
within the silhouette of Istanbul due to its prismatic and angled masses. The effect of
the silhouette was taken into consideration in the meticulous design of the blocks. To
achieve more dynamism and elegance, the units on 2 sides of the cores were treated
as separate sections and variances were created in the panelling materials to create an
effect of movement in opposite directions. Variations were created in the positions of
the parapet panels on the facade of each section to form varying rhythms and dynamic
surface expressions.
In the two blocks, the conventional core construct, layout and bearing system solution
seen in high-rise buildings were positioned on the diagonal corners of the 5-storey base
functioning as a shopping centre to ensure that each block would not obstruct the view
of the other. The top elevation of the base has been designed as outdoor areas for
social activities related to the shopping-center. The low-rise office division facing this
area, which functions as an elevated garden due to the landscaping, is prominent due
its unique typology, which features office units with balconies set amongst ordinary
office buildings.

When Vakko and Power Media approached REX with rapid plans to design and construct a new headquarters using an unfinished, abandoned hotel, speed became the
designs most significant parameter. Vakko/Powers unique interior remained detached
so as not to disrupt the structural integrity of the existing skeleton. Dubbed the Showcase, this unique interior houses the auditorium, showrooms, meeting rooms, and
executive offices, as well as all vertical circulation and restrooms. The Showcase is clad
in mirror-glass, cloaking the steel boxes with a mirage-like exterior, and enlivening the
buildings interior to kaleidoscopic effect. A beautiful and refined architectural image
was critical to maintaining Vakko/Powers public profile. REX designed an exceptionally
transparent and thin glass faade for the to veil the existing skeleton. This ethereal
Saran Wrap subtly reveals the pre-existing concrete skeleton and suggests the Showcase behind.

The Vakko Fashion Center designed by a US-based architectural firm is one of the most
striking examples of the transformative influence of globalization on architecture. This
structure is also important in that it opens the debate on whether the context factor is
still significant in contemporary architectural practice due to the fact that this was a design similar to one proposed but not implemented for Caltech University. This plan was
adapted with small modifications to the Vakko Fashion Center due to the limited time.
This bold design approach, defined by its designers as adaptable reuse entailed turning a half-finished reinforced concrete hotel construction into the Vakko Administrative Center. This building contains a fashion museum, radio and television studios, an
auditorium, a showroom, and administrative offices.
The building had to be transformed in an absurdly short period of time; the first changes to be made to the building was to transform the U-shaped flooring of the incomplete reinforced structure that had been erected on a two-story basement into a square,
forming a gallery space at the center. Following this adaptation, due to the restrictions
imposed by building bylaws and the limited construction period, arrangements other
than office units were stationed on the basement floor or in the six steel weight-bearing cages of various sizes that were defined by the architect as showcases, placed in
the angles and inclinations to fill the central gallery. These showcase units, which have
been irrationally stacked up in the center of this building with an extremely rational
structure and polygonal space construction, support themselves and the seventh unit
that houses the administrative office at the penthouse level, without adding any load
to the existing structural system.
The five-floor Vakko Fashion Center, erected on part of the two-story plinth that extends beneath the entire plot of land, has a parking lot in the basement levels, a library,
cafeteria, the Vakko museum, television-radio studios and their respective offices and
technical units; the other floors, excluding the ground and terrace floors, consist of office spaces. These stacked units, which have been erected from the basement floor to
the upper floor throughout the central gallery and which provide a vertical circulation,
accommodate programs such as a showroom, auditorium, conference rooms, toilets,
elevator/staircase, and fire escape. These mirrored, glass-panelled units give access to
the upper floors and do not only create an illusion throughout the gallery, but also offer
a three-dimensional architectural promenade that provides a maximum of multiple
views for those in the building.
An extraordinarily fine glass surface with no sign of any support was designed for the
faade, thus minimizing the intervention with the existing reinforced concrete structure and providing visual continuity between the interior and exterior of the building.
X shaped cambers were created during the production of the glass plates to increase
the thickness in specific areas and to ensure that the ultra thin glass plates that are
fixed only to the flooring are self-bearing.

The Armona Building is a solid example of architectural and cultural sustainability, and
draws from the Bosphorus waterside residence tradition. The designs point of departure comprised the reproduction of Bosphorus waterside residences using modern materials and technology, together with the interpretation of structural specifications, such
as dimensions, architectonic values, the use of environmental data, the relationship
between interior and exterior space, and the eaves, facade, and shutters. The buildings
energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive design determined the systems and materials to be used, such as insulation, energy-efficient glass, recyclable materials and the
use of local and natural materials. The construction materials used include heat-insulated aluminum and low-energy glass for the joinery, natural pine for the fixed paneling,
and basalt and andesite for the landscaping.

Armona Kurueme is located on the Bosphorus coastroad on a parcel of land adjacent

to the historic woods in the Kurueme neighbourhood. The headquarters of Armona
Marine Co. Ltd. Were created by reconstructing two detached double-storey masonry
structures that had belonged to the State Supply Office, Istanbul Branch Directorate.
This attempt at creative reconstruction took place under restrictive development conditions, due to this location being within the Preview Zone, as defined by the 1983
Bosphorus Law. The objective was to bring to light the remains of the existing buildings
and to rebuild and join them with steel construction.
During this reconstruction process, the two masonry structures were completely demolished and replaced with steel structures. The buildings were then connected to
one another by an entrance unit, which featured vertical circulation, allowing the two
buildings to function as one.
The interior setting of the two buildings, which had a large number of partitions, had
served for many years as the State Supply Offices lodgings, while also functioning as independent housing units; this was changed during the reconstruction and transformed
into an open-plan design that is essential for modern offices.
While the angular geometry and bevelled formation of the edges of the existing building are continued in the new building, the eaves were formed to make sharp cantilevers on the corners, standing independent of this order. The resolute attitude and
the wood panelling under the eaves provide a visual dynamism for the building by
emphasizing the contours relate this modern building to the architectural legacy and
the history of the area through the materials used.
The designers have made deliberate use of materials and architectural tectonics to
establish architectural and cultural sustainability without paying heed to imitation or
the pursuit of meaningless formalism. The delicate surface of the design and the mass
and volume causes the building to hover between transparency and solidity. With these excellent solutions, Armona Kurueme is currently one of the most contemporary
and high-precision examples of reconstruction to be seen on the Bosphorus.

The renovation of the 1963 Bursa Commodity Exchange building was approached from
the context of revising the historic Hanlar Region, an extremely important area in Bursa.
The main objective when designing the structure was to ensure the buildings exterior
faade was in keeping with its surroundings, while also being contemporary in design.
Thus, the exterior faade was to be a shell reflecting the historical texture of the surrounding area. The interior spaces were formed by creating transparent walls, making
a space that is open to the public and easily perceived from outside. The design of the
workspaces was planned in alignment with the modern business environment, with
an emphasis on functionality and spaciousness. Natural stone and wood were used to
ensure harmony between the buildings modern and historical textures.

The Bursa Commodity Exchange, an L-shaped building positioned on Uzunar Avenue,

which stretches along the historic Hanlar Region in Bursa, stands between the Bedesten
and the Fidan Han; the low building is positioned on a corner parcel, at a right angle
to the historic Geyve Han on Borsa Street; here the building meets with Erturul Bey
Square, an area defined by Hellenistic catacombs, Erturul Bey Mosque and Erturul Bey
Cemetery.
An organic construction formed of adjacent hans (inns) and baths, Uzunar has been
constantly renovated due to damage caused by earthquakes and fires. During the era
of Orhan Gazi the top of the building was totally covered and took on the form of the
present day Covered Bazaar. The Bursa Commodity Exchange, positioned next to the
covered bazaar that was rebuilt to consist of two floors after the great fire of 1958 was
constructed as a three storey building in 1963 in the heart of the business zone, an area
in which investment is constantly circulating.
The restoration of the Bursa Commodity Exchange Building was undertaken as part of
the projects to bring out the historical and commercial identity of the Hanlar District
with the contribution of the Bursa Chambers of Industry and Commerce in accordance
with the conditions stipulated by the Bursa Commodity Exchange and the protocol
signed with Osmangazi City Council to the effect that in consideration of historical
texture, the number of the floors would be decreased and the building would be returned to its former state, thus ensuring that the unity of the structure was maintained
while creating a multi-functional public and social space In line with these goals the
two floors that had been added to the upper part of the building with the permission
of the Higher Institution of Monuments in 1980 were demolished, and the building was
reconstructed with 3 floors.
The trading functions of the independent rentable units on the exterior of the ground
floor were continued after the renovation and connected by means of a vertical circulation link to the trading units in the covered bazaar. The direct connection of the linear
covered bazaar to the Yorganclar Market was reinforced by roof lights and simple shop
windows. Thanks to the creation of this urban sustainability, the structure was integrated as an organic part of the urban texture without creating any feelings of alienation.
The ground floor of the Commodity Exchange opening out onto a square is approached
as a spacious hall, while other components including offices, meeting rooms and management space, as well as the dining hall, have been positioned on the upper floor.
The use of natural stone and wood used in the faades of the building that give it its
character is continued in the interior design. Owing to the contemporary language and
striking atmosphere, a dialogue sensitive to the historical environment and a highprecision design has been created. In this sensitive connection between the historic
past and the context of the city, in addition to formal repertoires such as typology, an
intuitive and deep relationship, which takes its strength from the memory of the material, has been developed.
This spectacular renovation attempt that was made to harmonize with the historic
texture of the city is one of the most exciting restoration projects carried out in Turkey
in recent years, not only for its achievement in creating urban sustainability, but also
for supporting public life and thus not only improving urban quality, but also creating a
positive trigger effect on transformations in the environment.

The imta building consists of offices and conference rooms with a total area of approximately 2,000 square meters. The original aim of the planning process was to achieve
a building that represents both the production concept and its characteristics, as well
as one that answered the need for an efficient working environment; this was achieved
with strategic interventions. Since the beginning, the design was not only thought for
a 2,000 square meters building, but a land of 100,000 square meters. The aim was to
rethink the relationship between the areas without affecting the factorys functions. As
it was to be situated between natural and artificial landscapes, a building that was as
transparent as possible, allowing passage from one side to the other, was created; to
ensure that perception was not interrupted, the north faade is entirely transparent.
The north faade was designed to transform the exterior green texture into framed
views.

imta Steel Production Montage and Building Supplies Co. Ltd. started production in
1979 in the Gemlik area of the province of Bursa in a plant with an indoor area measuring 41,000 square meters and an open area of 150,000 square meters. This company
manufactures steel pipes used in heavy industry, such as heavy steel constructions,
steel bridges, and wind towers. The companys administration building and recreational
facilities are located near the Free Trade Zone (BUSEB) area, 1 kilometer from Gemlik
city center, within the expansive production plant inland from the Roda and Borusan
Harbours and the Gemsaz summer resort area.
A decision was made to renew the existing two-story administration and recreational facilities building to meet current needs, and to reinforce them structurally within
the context of the functional plan; the latter directly determined the positions of the
production operations and factory buildings. There was an additional plan to rearrange the outdoor storage areas. In accordance with this objective, the faade structure
and materials for the recreational facilities were reinforced with a steel frame system.
The administration building was completely demolished and rebuilt as a quadruplex
building with a steel structure. The new structure was designed in a long and narrow rectangular form, thus creating a contrast to the previous building. The building
was positioned parallel to the road, and a defined outdoor area was formed between
the administration and recreational facilities buildings. A pool was created outside this
structure to reflect the industrial landscape, which is constantly changing with the movements of the overhead cranes, and to allow light from the north to reach every floor
of the administration building.
The colourful world of the prefabricated aerodrome buildings and the closed settings of
the storage buildings strike an assertive contrast with the simple elegance and transparency of the administrative building lending it a distinguished appearance within the
rusty industrial landscape. This high-precision administration building, positioned in line
with a row of pre-existing trees on the periphery to the south of the manufacturing
area, has a radical transparency that makes it one of the most extraordinary examples
of the quest for minimalist expression in Turkey. Various combinations of rhythm have
been created on the surface of the building with a delicate steel structural system, the
horizontal joints on the glass curtain wall and the cantilever effect of the first floor,
which seems to burst out from the mass and this rhythm is evident throughout the
faade.
The interior stairwells have been transformed into masses and approached as statuesque constructions in both the interior and the exterior, where they have been designed
as a fire escape, creating tension with the delicate glass prism. This tense relationship
is also visible in the economic language of expression used in the building, with a differentiation between the faades, where slight nuances are employed, despite the use
of the same syntax.
Amongst the plurality of materials and forms in contemporary Turkish architecture,
this sedate building, a building with depth, a building which has been empowered by
the materials and expression, presents a simple and strong form, creating a powerful
example of what can be achieved through architectural expression.

The Finansbank District Directorate Building is located on the north/south axis of a parcel of land that runs parallel to the main road in central Izmir. Both the structure and
faade of the building have been constructed with a clear, simple and powerful approach that suits its function. This approach also supports a relationship with the older
buildings, creating the vernacular of the location. The building is the result of a combination of aesthetic and technical solutions. With its narrow faade, basement garage,
bank services at the entrance and mezzanine floor, and offices for different groups on
the upper floors, the building also hosts a multipurpose cafeteria and seminar areas on
its terrace.

The zmir Branch Building of Finansbank on the Boulevard of ehit Nevres leading to
Montr Square in the quarter of Alsancak is situated on an intermediate building plot
adjacent to urban-organized structures, and features a 15-meter faade. In addition
to the basement, which is used as a car park, there is a ground floor with a mezzanine spread over the entire plot dedicated to customer services. Over these two floors,
within the limits of the parcel, the structure retreats back into itself, creating a terrace
on the rear faade. 5 floors of offices rise above this terrace, with a rooftop cafeteria
on top floor. The rear terrace, which can be accessed via the mezzanine, overlooks the
historical Flemish Protestant Church, located in the middle of the block. In addition to
this, the walls on the front and back faades of the rooftop were set back to create
terraces for the cafeteria.
As it is placed between adjacent structures in a dense urban pattern, the building only
receives light through two narrow facades; for this reason, there was a need to optimize the plan to attain maximum benefit from both light and landscape. Thus, all service
areas were concentrated on the blind sides, and an open office plan was implemented
to allow the daylight to easily penetrate into the building.
The approach to the buildings design is bare and sober, reflecting the corporate identity
of the institution. Thanks to the vertical granite surface that hides the blind side of the
elevator tower and the fine horizontal lines running through the broad glass curtain wall
of the faade that allow daylight into the interior, a pragmatic atmosphere and high
precision have been expressed in a clear architectural language.

On Gksu creek, which flows into the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus, there is an old
Ottoman cemetery by the hillside running along the road behind the structure. This is
a tranquil spot filled only with cypress trees and gravestones. The gently swaying of
the fishing boats that line the creek add to the peaceful atmosphere. Here, it is possible
to forget that one is in the center of one of the largest metropolises in the world. The
structure was built over the remains of the two small houses which once stood here,
one of which was an old wooden structure. One of the first decisions was to transfer
the materials, measurements and proportions of the former structure to the new one,
thus making new objects from traditional ones. Maximizing what could be seen of the
outside world from within was just as important as preventing visibility of the interior
from the outside. Thus, the heart of the building is covered with a wooden screen and,
abandoning itself to the stillness of the place, what is hidden has been brought to light.

This reconstruction project was built in Istanbuls Anadolu Hisar district on the bank of
the inner regions of Gksu Creek. It was built on the site of two adjacent two-story buildings, one of which was wood-framed. The ultimate structure was to be an office building of three floors, including the rooftop, expanding over a total of 300 square meters.
Gksu Ofis was built on the pointed end of a gradually tapering building plot along the
stream and is separated from the road by a high bank, formed by the elevation; the
height of this bank is one floor.
Factors influencing the design of the project were the desire to preserve the wooden
frame, the fact that the plot can be seen from both banks of the river, and thus is visible
from the outside, and the fact that the plot is located in Anadolu Hisar, a place that has
a unique relationship with the waterways of the city and one that is of great historical
importance.
Gksu Ofis demonstrates most clearly the ethical attitude of the architect which extends to most of his works. In this project he has kept in spirit with the region by
perpetuating specific regional experiences and practices like wooden building construction, architectural expression and materials culture. In light of these concerns, the idea
was developed to encapsulate the entire project; in attempting to carry out a creative
reconstruction, the dimensions of the wooden frame and the proportions of the windows were maintained in the new project, while the wooden faade was interpreted
in a contemporary language. On the plan, similar phenomenological sensitivities were
observed, and the buildings faade that overlooks the road is designed to curve towards the narrow end of the plot to be reminiscent of a wooden caique. Instead of
making additions to the two historical buildings, both were transformed into one, and
the wooden frame was reconstructed so that the former building might be perceived
in the new one; that is, an effort to make that which had been lost visible, while the
continuing search for an architectural expression in the faade is provided by a series of
surface surveys. On the southern faade overlooking the stream, the existing wooden
frame, the proportion of the windows and the wooden panelling were preserved; the
tectonics of the covering on the pointed end of the building gradually become transparent and are transformed into a translucent screen surrounding the open terrace at the
far end. The state of persistent transition between old and new and, on the other hand,
the clear separation also visible in the plan demonstrates the search for this expression
in the closed office space that has been transformed into an open room and the terrace.
In this building where the concept of the surface and paneling of the building has been
approached from a fresh perspective, the wooden connecting elements and iron supports connect one another in shutter-like screen surfaces and at the other end of the
structure the penetrating wooden connection elements appear shelf-like, being transformed into a self-bearing structure. Owing to this, an unusual effect of a deep surface
which takes its strength through repetitive elements is achieved. This rather small building, with all its sensitivities, is one of the most impressive buildings in recent years in
Turkey thanks to the search for tectonic and architectural expression.

The Haberturk Media Center, located on Abdlhakhamit Road in Talimhane, was built
between 2006 and 2008. The building was designed to house television studios and
newspaper and magazine management centers; it was planned in a flexible manner,
taking into consideration the diverse requirements of a media group. The building consists of 10 stories at the lower level, while two 12-story blocks have been designed at
road level. The natural square formed between the two blocks at the road-level elevation creates a refreshing area within the constricted environment of Talimhane. The first
eight floors form a 1,300-vehicle parking lot, while the top two floors house the groups
television and radio studios, and general service areas. One of the two blocks has been
designed to function as an office, while the other will function as a hotel.

The unbuilt area known as Talimhane in Taksim Gezi Park used for rifle drill by the Topcu Barracks underwent rapid building of modern housing and apartment buildings in
line with the plan prepared by the French urban planner, Henri Prost, after the demolition of the barracks in 1939. The building located in this planned residential area on the
edge of level ground overlooking the district of Dolapdere was used by the municipality
for many years as a multi-storey car park prior to its sale and demolition in 1998. The
general headquarters of Ciner Holding was constructed on the same plot and opened as
an office and multi-storey car park on completion of the project in 2008.
The Habertrk Media Centre Building, built on a 7,593 square meter triangular-shaped
plot in the Talimhane district between Abdlhak Hamit Street and Yedi Kuyular Street,
is located in the L-shaped building of the complex designed as two blocks in the section that faces Dolapdere. The 10-floor section below the ground level of the plot, which
has significant difference in elevation, is spread over the entire construction area, while
above street level there are two separate blocks each consisting of 12 floors. In the
L-shaped block, which has a central courtyard, is the media center of Ciner Holding,
a large media group. Eight of the subterranean floors comprise an indoor car park with
a capacity for 1,300 vehicles and the other two consist of TV and radio studios. The
other block, designed with a flexible set-up due to uncertainty of the end-users program, was originally anticipated as being rentable office space. However, ultimately it
is to be leased for a 30-year period as of the end of 2011 to be used as a luxury city
hotel with nearly 300 rooms. After this change in the program, some modifications have
been made to facilitate use of the first and second basement floors as conference halls
and a night club.
These two blocks, which are connected via the basement floors but detached on the
upper floors like two separate bodies feeding from the same root, together with the
Boazici Electric Distribution Inc. building, form a broad square on Abdlhak Hamit Street,
pulling the edges of the triangular land together, and thus forming a public space that
has previously been missing in the area. The southern faades of both buildings which
overlook the public space have been made as transparent as possible and the white
fiber-concrete strips that cover the joints give the complex a dynamic effect by increasing the horizontal impression of the buildings. The simple and modern architectural style
of the designers not only consists of integrating the two blocks with the plan of the
square that was created, but has also demonstrated that elegant modernism is still possible within an urban setting.

The directorate is located in the Gebze/ Kocaeli Tbitak MAM area. As the existing
operations were in a campus format, a departure from the classic office building was
designed. The existing operation, the staging process of which was initially planned, but
not realized, the landscape that extends out to the gulf on the southern horizon, and
the green texture on the one in ten incline were all criteria that influenced the design.
While the campus format and staging process dictated the fragmented character of the
building, which is connected via bridges, the aluminum joinery faade, the filled faade
contours, the partial roof inclination and the window bays all refer to the incline of the
land. A special emphasis was placed on the circulation scheme, enabling a three-block
building to work as a single unit.

The Gebze Campus of TBITAK, located in the Bar quarter of Gebze, Kocaeli, is separated from the city center of Gebze by the E-5 Highway and the developing industrial
zone; the campus expands over a large area comprised of 800 acres that extend to the
sea shore. IBTech was first established as an IT enterprise in 2005, and in the same year
was relocated to 60 acres of the Tbitak MAM Teknokent campus, which was designated the TBITAK MAM Technology Free Zone; since 2009, IBTech has provided services
from the newly-built general management premises of the IBTech Data Processing Center. The building, constructed in an area where there are few residential buildings, is
located on an inclined area. Built on a circular cul-de-sac, it is adjacent to the Turkcell
Technology Research and Development building designed by Erginolu & allar and
the Turkish Technology Center.
The planning approach of Teknokent and the free zones was limited by the parceling
of the land. The concern to design without reference to the buildings which had been
constructed over time without planning, that is, the concern to generate an individual
vernacular and solution on the allocated parcels and the necessity to establish contextual relationships outside the restrictive environmental data, such as the fragmented
pattern scheme that arose from this individualism and the road network connecting
this scheme, meant that the designers had to develop the contextual relationships independently; in other words, they had to invent the context. In order to establish this
relationship, focusing on the construction site and topography, CM Architecture, proposed a staged construction of a fragmented mass in accordance with the commissioners
request. It was proposed that the pieces of the whole would be brought together
around an inner-construction that became a space in its own right using the lie of the
land to express the tension created by the relationship with the incline. The contextual
framework was developed with functional intervention by defining the forms in relation to the incline.
With a total construction area of 13,700 square meters, the structure was to be constructed in stages; the three parts that are connected by covered bridges were to be
constructed at the same time. An external space between them opens onto the landscape and scenery, creating an interface. The fact that the faades which look onto this
exterior space have been designed as absolutely transparent, and that the horizontal
lines of circulation continue along the facades of this space in the plan means that the
movements of the employees during their daily tasks and the dynamism created by
these actions can be observed throughout the day, while the uninterrupted transparency that is created provides multiple perspectives into the depths of the structure.
Beyond the perception of the exterior as an ordinary optical illusion, the inclined construction of the faade brings the slope of the terrain to the fore; the tense relationship
that the structure establishes with the land allows us to perceive the resistance to the
topography while also demonstrating an ontological attitude.
The transparent coating of the IBTech building is independent of the building as the
faades are arranged parallel to the terrains incline. This structure is an exceptional
example in Turkish architecture of the creation of a tense relationship between the
structure and the facade in accordance with Le Corbusiers Domino proposal that the
faade should be liberated from the structure.

The Levent Office Project was constructed as an environmentally friendly building featuring unique architectural and engineering solutions; the US Green Buildings Council
(USGBC) LEED certification criteria were used in its design. In the outer shell, the landscaping was customized to meet needs for light and shade, and the faade was designed
as a multi-layered system. The effect of the shade created by the landscaping and the
impact of other systems on energy efficiency were measured using energy simulation,
which played a determining role in the selection of the glass, faade design and variety
and density of plants used in the construction.
The internal gardens that link the floors are arranged so as to enhance natural ventilation. Levent Ofis is the first LEED Gold-certified A+ office building in the Shell&Core
category in the field of centralized offices.

The Levent Office is located in the region of Levent, the most important central business
area of Istanbul; it is positioned on Harman Street, which runs parallel to Bykdere
Avenue, and culminates at Kanyon Shopping Mall. The building differs from other highrise office buildings that have been built in the area since the 1990s due to the environmentally friendly criteria applied throughout the process from design to construction
and the fact that it is the first commercial office building in Turkey to have a LEED Gold
Certificate in the Building Core and Shell category.
Levent Office is positioned on a densely built plot on a long thin rectangular parcel of
land, the main entrance being on the narrow faade on Harman Street, with the other
entrance at the rear faade on Ali Kaya Street. These two entrances on the narrow
sides of the structure are half a floor higher than the road elevation, allowing the first
basement level to receive natural light; owing to the elevation difference between the
road and the structure, the entrance steps act as a bridge. The three floors below the
ground floor of the 14-storied building function as a parking garage, while the upper
floors are for offices. The concept design was created by Molestina Architekten, and
the architectural project by Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (SHCA). Levent Office is
designed with technical systems, such as integral common areas and electrical- mechanical systems that are in keeping with a building of the Building Core and Shell category; at the same time, the interior designs have been left to the initiative of the users.
There are two cores to the narrow and long structure; these are vertically and horizontally-positioned in the plan and divide the building lengthwise into 3 sections. In
addition to this division, there are interior gardens, measuring two floors high; these are
positioned in different areas on every second floor, connected to the facades. The gardens makes a continuous interior design installation possible and also work as natural
ventilation galleries, enabling the circulation of fresh air through the floors, and thus
allowing the building to breathe.
The double faade used for the building creates a solution for the problem of natural
ventilation in high structures; passive air conditioning is enabled through a console
system that includes the live plants that have been integrated into this system to provide shade. As a result, the dimensions and intensity of the planting varies according to
the location, creating a natural and active filter layer to optimize energy.
In keeping with principles of sustainability, recycling and the reuse of waste products
have been taken into consideration and local and recycled materials have been used
in the construction process. In order to conserve water, rainwater is recycled and productive irrigation systems are used, and plants that require little watering have been
selected.
Due to this sensitive ecological approach and strikingly flexible design, Levent Office is
a high-rise that sets an example for other environment-friendly structures as they gain
popularity throughout the world.

With its new service building, the Mersin Chamber of Shipping wanted to symbolize the
citys trade between land and sea. While designing a plain and functional building, a rational plan that would be reflected outwards was desired. We created a more transparent faade to the southern aspect, with a rougher and closed in faade to the north.
The entrance facing the boulevard was designed as a portico. The transparent southern
faade appears like a lighthouse from the sea, while providing an uninterrupted sea
view from the offices. A panoramic view which evokes being on deck at sea is provided from the rooftop; the building opens from the base to the top, giving a feeling of
lightness. A functional and modern design that reflects the natural, social and cultural
character of our region without referring to traditional architecture was preferred.

The Mersin Chamber of Shipping Service Building, positioned on nn Boulevard, a street that proceeds along the shore and which is defined by high-rise buildings, nestles
among the six two-story buildings standing along the front that have borne witness
to the earlier morphology of the city. The MDTO (Mersin Chamber of Shipping) Service
Building is set back from the line of other structures along the roadside, thus creating a
space used as a garden. This delicate space can be accessed via a concrete bridge that
extends from the paving of the first floor. Designed by the architect in keeping with the
metaphor of a docked ship, the clad ground floor and the two piano nobile above it
create a transparency that increases towards the upper floors. The structure ends with
a pergola, providing shadow play; the pergola seems ready to take off at any moment.
With its simple and clear aesthetic language, the service building is inspiring, as it consciously tries to combine two contradictory design approaches. Unity has been achieved
in the building through differentiation of the plan, intersection and faades on both the
landward and seaward sides. Although on the seaward side the two piano nobile floors
over the solid ground floor serving as a base have been approached from a modernist
aesthetic to form transparent bands, the building has been constructed in a completely
symmetrical manner. In contrast to this, the two-story entrance faade on the boulevard side, which has a solid effect, has been approached in an asymmetrical way with
arrhythmical spaces, created by semi-open balconies that function as loggia.
The spatial transparency that creates the continuous circulation in structure and the
transparency of the material that enables the eye to scan the Mediterranean horizon,
give over to the vertical on the line of circulation; the latter is formed by the service
sites and stairs. The relationship of the eye with the outer world here has been established on the vertical.
The charming contradiction of symmetry and asymmetry, solidity and transparency in
the building, as well as the horizontal and vertical aspect of the circulation intersections,
has been eliminated thanks to the continuity created by the brute concrete cladding
on the facades. However, in architectural terms, an equal amount of tension has been
created.
Despite its relatively small proportions, owing to the clever design and the ambivalent
and ambiguous construction, the MDTO Service Building enables an expansive indoor
perspective and cognitive experience, as well as presenting high precision fiction.

The allocation of space in this building is based on application decisions to spread office
workspace over three floors while dining, seminar, conference, library and sports facilities are placed around a common foyer providing them with daylight despite being
underground. In addition to a certain anonymity lent by the mass effects, the structure
also has features that are special and unique. As always, we strive to give a new twist
to the familiar.

The new management structure of Doan Holding is positioned on the Anatolian side
of Istanbul, near the Altunzade Intersection, where the Istanbul Ring Road meets the
Bosphorus Bridge and the ile Motorway; it is located among the gated communities,
detached houses with gardens, and the occasional office or management structures
defining the ile Motorway that characterize the sparsely built texture of the Burhaniye
district of skdar. The anonymous characteristic of the area was one of the principal
inputs that assisted the designer, who took into account the environmental data, in
revealing the soul of the location.
This monolithic structure accessed from the ile Motorway and built on a narrow 150meter long parcel running along the Istanbul Ring Road also houses the Ortadou Automotive Headquarters, affiliated with Doan Holding. Also accessed from a side road
parallel to the ile Motorway on Hac Reit Paa Street, the structure has a classical
scheme with an assertive mass 80 meters in length continuing over a long, narrow plot
and two courtyards. In addition to the 3 floors that are above ground, the structure has
two floors below ground level, stretching to the edges of the building site, making a
total of 12,200 square meters of interior. This mono-block structure, with an inner court
yard, almost reminiscent of the strong classical 19th century barrack structure, has an
introverted space installation and a circulation scheme expanding around the two inner
courts.
Indications of a modest design approach, which can be defined as designed anonymity, are to be found in the structure; here there is a corporate image of gravity and
solemnity, as is only to be expected from a management center, presented through
a constructive language. This design approach, while not giving credence to design
effects that have been developed in order to impress such as being smart or striking,
rather searches for simplicity, austerity and ordinariness, while updating the filtered
data through the familiarity of our daily lives, enabling an unfamiliar new mode of
production. Thus, while it has been possible to create something new, the structure
still remains anonymous, shaped according to what takes root in the soul, thus making
a new type of conceptual construction possible.
In order to reproduce de-familiarization and anonymity, the continuous surface, measuring 80 meters, and the dimensions of the structure have been transformed into a
design statement that has become a principal part of the paradigmatic design. What
has made this daring statement possible is that beyond the recurring elements and the
partiality of the modules there is an ability to establish a paradigm in a new meaning.
On the other hand, this insistence in the design is instructive as to how the repetitive
concrete structural system creates the faade of the structure and how the classical
hierarchy of the structure, caught between the dilemma of the carrier system and the
faade, can be inverted.
With a design approach that is as simple as it is destructive, the Ortadou Automotive
Headquarters is an exceptional example within the contemporary architectural environment of the intellectual investment in architectural expression.

This project, selected from among the 162 project proposals submitted to a national
architecture project competition in 2000, was designed for the land connecting two
building plots located between Cinnah Road and Greme Street. With the cancellation
of the residential function of the land during the planning stage, the common space,
which opens onto Greme Street from Cinnah Road and encompasses the horizontal
circulation, was extended to the upper floors to enable its use as a spine linking together the two entrances and floors. A variety of window openings have been used
on the Greme Street and Cinnah Road faades in keeping with spatial requirements,
and the solid areas between these emphasize the central space between the buildings.
The building was nominated for the 2008 National Architecture Awards in the Building
Category.

In the quarter of ankaya in Ankara, the triangular construction parcel formed by the
conjunction of Cinnah Street, a major thoroughfare in the city, and Greme Street was
allocated for the Central Union Building of the Turkish Tradesman and Artisans Loans
and Cooperatives Association (TESKOMB). In the 2000 National Architectural Competition, the winning project concept overcame the limitations imposed by the parcel and
the intense program. This concept proposed a visual connection with Gelibolu Street,
connecting it to ili Square and Cinnah Street, while the rear of the building, through a
gallery space created in the interior, offers a connection with Greme Street and, beyond this, Gl Bahesi Park.
The Central Unions management units, functioning as training places for members, as
well as an international relations office and data processing center, are contained in
the administration building units; meetings and exhibitions are carried out in common
areas. The proposed program for a 30-room accommodation unit for members, to be
known as Esnaf Evi, was abolished during the implementation phase, thus leading to
a revision. Circulation elements of the building like the staircase and the hallway and
the idea of dividing the building into two up to the top floor on an east-west axis have
been maintained.
Expanded over a double construction parcel and covering a construction area of 5,100
square meters, the nine-floored building has four floors underground, three of which
have been allocated to parking space; on the first subterranean floor, there is a meeting room and a foyer. The General Managers office and other office units are located
above the ground floor, and on the top floor, whose walls have been set back to form
a terrace on each of the two faades, there is a vaulted dining hall.
So as to ensure that all the different programs are perceived throughout the faade,
the competition project was designed with a triple-fronted scheme; however, this was
changed due to certain programs being cancelled during the implementation phase.
The faades were handled as a mass, in order to highlight the space in the middle
gallery, and the effect has created a fragmented composition with a sculptural appearance. With its dynamic forms and the pluralistic language that establishes a tense
relationship with the monotony of the urban texture of its surroundings, and with the
idea of urban transparency emphasized in the plan and on the faade, the building is a
successful example of construction in the urban context.

Comprehensive restoration and conversion projects were prepared for the formerly
Tekel-owned Tuzambar building, leased by Medina Turgul DDB, creating a workspace
for 160 employees. As regards restoration, chemical preparations were produced to
cleanse the building of 170 years of grime without harming the original structure. After
careful analyses, the mortar in the stone wall was cleansed and reinforced; the stones
that had been damaged or destroyed were restored. The 4 galleries, providing uninterrupted communication within the building, were linked to one another via steel bridges; to preserve the original texture of the building, decorative elements were not used.
Thus, all the processes such as the stone outer shell, the steel roof above it produced
by Tekel, and the steel elements that were added at various times forming layers of
different colors are still visible today. The result is a modern yet sheltered solution that
provides a creative work area with personal space for employees.

The offices of the Advertising Agency DDB Medina Turgul were arranged on the ground
floor and fourth floor of a building in Levent in 2003 by Erginolu & allar Architecture;
the four large gallery openings in a historical warehouse in Kasmpaa, rented as the
agencys new working space, were renovated, and the process of transforming these
into office space was successfully applied. Transparent dividers provide an uninterrupted view and spatial continuity, and the approach to an open-office plan was enhanced
by the different levels.
The warehouse building, which is thought to have been used as a gunpowder factory
because of its proximity to the shoreline of the Golden Horn and also due to the thickness of its stone walls, was used for many years by Tekel as an alcohol and tobacco
warehouse; it was last used as a salt warehouse. The building changed hands after the
privatization of Tekel, and the restoration of the warehouse, which was rented out on a
long lease in view of its present use, commenced in 2008 and 6 months later the office
building opened.
The existing warehouse plan with stone masonry walls more than 10 meters thick consists of four large galleries divided into two branches, or streets at the entrance; these
separate the galleries from one another and provide access.
To create interior space and to increase the work areas without disturbing the operational structure of the existing construction, a series of mezzanines were built at
the beginning and end of the gallery for the 5 agencies and their 150 employees who
function independently under the same roof. The existing window openings in the
walls were transformed into hallways, thus providing access between the mezzanines
without having to go downstairs. The two separate glass cubes at the entrance maintain the three-dimensional and spatial depth and also act as sound-proofing; these
contain meeting rooms, as well as the administrative rooms, and provide access to the
mezzanines. The hierarchical organization of the offices, owing to the entire spatial and
material transparency, takes its supervisory power from seeing and being seen; the
mezzanines offer a solution in that those in the executive rooms are able to follow the
performance of their employees.
During the process of renovation of the nearly 170-year old warehouse, a sustainable
conservationist approach was chosen and the building was changed as little as possible
and minimum intervention was made, thus ensuring that the least damage would be
inflicted during essential removals. All the additional areas, including the floors, are
being supported by steel structures and the floor covering was removed from the
buildings original masonry bearing walls. To make the constructions historical layers
and the spatial interventions visible, the additions of bricks and stone inserts which
were made over time on the surfaces were preserved. The steel roof girders changed
at the end of the 1950s by Tekel were painted white and the newer ones painted black
highlighting interventions in different colours. All electromechanical installations were
left open between the roof girders and distributed throughout the entire structure; by
enclosing new additions within the steel frame structure, the highlighted spatial dimensions and outlines have been revealed.
Similar to the Larkin Administration Building, for which F.L. Wright invented the open
plan office in 1904, Tuzambar is an office space almost completely closed to the outside, composed of work islands, and one of the competent examples of a sustainable
approach to conservation, so very rare in Turkey.

The Turkish Basketball Federation headquarters building is situated on a 13,685-squaremeter plot of land in Zeytinburnu. The planning for this building, located in the vicinity
of the Abdi peki Gymnasium and the Yedikule City Walls, was carried out with consideration for the contextual data. The vernacular aspect was formed by selecting materials in keeping with the historic city walls and a predominantly brutalist approach.
The terrace, which extends along the building on the southeast faade, reinforces the
visual relationship between the building and the city walls. The building was designed
with the corporate structure of the Turkish Basketball Federation in mind. An atrium
was created at the buildings center, including a three-way main staircase. The atrium,
illuminated by a skylight, is extended by common corridors and open offices, thus creating a public space.

The General Headquarters of the Turkish Basketball Federation are situated on the
10.Yl Street, parallel to Istanbul City Walls, in Istanbuls district of Zeytinburnu. For many
years the federation was situated in the nearby Abdi peki Arena (formerly known as
Abdi peki Sports Hall), where they were housed on the ground floor. The the latter
premises were operated for many years by TBGEV (Foundation for the Development
of Turkish Basketball). The office units belonging to the Turkish Basketball Federation
were opened in these new headquarters constructed in 2010 to provide better services
and in order to meet management requirements.
The two-story management structure, flanked by the large parking space of Abdi peki
Arena and the 10. Yl Street, has a rectangular plan with an atrium at the center. On the
ground floor, which is open to the public, there is open office space and an open museum that exhibits trophies outside the closed office units. To provide access to the upper
floor as well as to establish a visual connection with the natural light coming from the
ceiling, the atrium possesses a single staircase, situated in the center. On the upper
floor of the building, the office fronts facing the hallway are transparent, thus allowing
the offices to benefit as much as possible from the natural light. The spatial structures
of the offices on this floor were modified into two meeting rooms and administrative
rooms, and direct access to the external hallway which surrounds the building on three
sides was provided; the lower floor and the main entrance of the building thus function
independently.
On the faade of the building, the transparent vertical slashes over two floors create a
rhythmical fragmentation for the full faades of the building. The difficulties created by
the tectonic diversity found in the entrance on the southwest faade, which is covered
with bricks, were surmounted in a surprising way; owing to the concrete roof plate,
with its granular image, an integrity has been created, thus giving the building its characteristic feature. This continuous roof plate, closing the top of the open hallway and
thus acting as a sun shade, has also been transformed into structural walls, bringing the
buildings two faades to prominence. Stretching to all fronts and then shortening, thus
acquiring a different character by changing planes, this continuous surface not only provides climatic comfort, but also confers a perceptual richness and depth to the building.

The basis of the design philosophy used in the planning of the Union of Turkish Public
Notaries building was to develop a communication environment. While the passages
between the internal and outdoor areas reinforce communication between the notaries and the public, they also create a social-working environment. The building, structured around a courtyard, a modern interpretation of the traditional caravanserai plan,
creates a modern and productive work environment. The atrium includes a conference
foyer, entrance and exhibition hall, and bridges connecting the levels, which visually
and functionally connect the social and working areas to the courtyard. Transparency
of construction and clear perception and continuity between the spaces were factors
that were kept in mind throughout every stage of the design.

Positioned on a 6,871 square meter corner parcel at the intersection of Yaam Avenue
and Stz Avenue, which connects the Eskiehir Road with the Atatrk Forest Farm,
the design for the Headquarters of the Union of Turkish Public Notaries project was
chosen from 134 entries in a national architectural competition held in 2003 after it
was decided that the former headquarters and cultural/social facilities in Kzlay were
insufficient.
The Headquarters of the Union of Turkish Public Notaries is located in the partially urbanized landscape of scattered buildings in the Stz region amidst the Ak Party
General Headquarters, Bayazcolu Mosque, Otoko-Ford Authorized Service, TOBB ET
Hospital, Stz Residential Complex and the Ankara Chamber of Commerce Congress Center. The structure has an introverted design that insulates it from the negative
external environmental conditions. In contrast to the conventional vertical typology
of office and headquarters, the 5-floored structure rises around an atrium to create
an assembly area; this area has been designed in a U-shape, which is topped off by a
projection wall on one side. In this way, a communication area for socialization has
been created.
Despite the fact that the majority of the exterior consists of solid surfaces, the transparent material used in the interior faade in the atrium enables a visual connection to be
made from every point of the building. In the plan, the horizontal circulation lines in the
interior walls that face the atrium continue along the vertical surfaces, passing through
the transparent cores at the four corners of the structure; this perceptual density, enhanced by means of the wide gallery space in the middle of the structure and the steel
stairs suspended from the ceiling into this space enriches the architectural atmosphere
of the structure.
This is a design approach in which complete transparency is continued throughout the
structure, including in the permeable stairs, banisters and glass walls in order to create
a continuous perception and spatial experience; the boundaries between the interior and exterior have been removed, as has every spatial obstacle. This transparency
concept is not limited to the materials; indeed, it is applied to the whole building. This
continuous perception and spatial richness is established vertically in the main gallery
space and horizontally in the winter garden, which is part of the ground floor restaurant and faces the atrium, thus providing both a visual and spatial continuity with the
interior atrium.
In the application phase, the residential unit that was to be built in one section of the
building and the tennis court and swimming pool that were to be constructed in the
central atrium were removed from the plan; the landscape design of the atrium was
also altered. Instead of residential apartments on the ground floor, a data-processing
center was established.
A wide and defined garden described by the designers as an oasis forms part of the
20,595 square meter area of the Headquarters of the Union of Turkish Public Notaries.
The clear and permeable structure, the simple and calm spatial atmosphere, socialization areas and pleasant work environments make the building one of the most extraordinary headquarters to be built in Turkey in recent years.

The mitky Business Center is located on the main boulevard in mitky, where other buildings of various dimensions and functions, including residential, religious and
commercial structures, can be found. Thus the overriding concept in the design was
self-expression while establishing a positive relationship with the surroundings. The
difference in elevation of the land on which the building is located was utilized to achieve entrances at different levels for the boulevard and rear faades. A public access
stairway was created between these two entrances to reinforce the structures corner
emphasis. Hence, contrary to the other commercial units created from pre-existing residential buildings along mitky Boulevard, a modern commercial building has been
created which fulfills a number of different minor and major functions.

As a result of the rapid growth spreading west of Ankara since the 1980s, the areas between the existing small settlements and villages have been used for the construction
of luxurious residential complexes and housing estates. Many suburban districts like
mitky have started to form fragmented neighborhoods, creating new gaps between
the older settlements. These residential fragments without a center, have, from time to
time, grown towards each other and created more densely-built areas. Nevertheless,
rather than forming an urban pattern or an integral whole, they have begun to form
semi-urban landscapes on the outskirts of the city. While these sparse patterns, spreading towards the south-west along the Eskiehir Road, have created new residential
areas by forming their own meaning and order, the only connection between them is
the web-like transportation pattern which led to their existence.
The mitky Business Centre, built on the inclined land that forms the intersection
between 8th Street, a road that connects mitky with the Eskiehir Road, and the
Satcom Military Radar Facility and 2435 Street, which emerges from the TBTAK UEKAE
LTAREN building, is built adjacent to the mitky Mosque, on a quarter-circle shaped
corner parcel. Instead of remaining indifferent to the construction around it and forming
its own order within the fragmented and disordered semi-urban texture, the structure
attempts to form an urban relationship; using a number of architectural and urban elements, it constructs the beginning of a public and urban pattern. The structure, which
offers an uninterrupted faade along the road, creates a street effect that is otherwise
not possible due to the existence of the mosque next to it and the empty plot beyond;
thus, the center enters into a dialogue with the faades on the other side of the road,
forming a street feeling that can be sensed in few other areas along 8th street, and by
creating a feeling of intensity to the extent possible in the scattered texture of the area,
helps to form the feeling of an urban center.
The structure, which has a total of 6 floors, including the 2 lower floors that are used as
an indoor car park and the terraced roof, which turns back on itself, has two separate
entrances from the roads on the front and back faades created by the difference in
level of one storey. These two entrances thus connect the two roads to one another
from the exterior of the structure and via the public stairs which continue along the
buildings curvilinear surface; this is an exceptional urban element in this area. The
stairs create semi-shaded public areas for those walking on the side of the road as
well as for those who use the building; in addition, the stairs also provide access to the
rented commercial units from the exterior. A number of variables have been taken into
account during the design phase of this commercial centre, which is spread over a total
closed area of 5,110 square meters, with an indoor car park with a capacity for 53 vehicles. A flexible plan has been developed, as the end-user is undetermined; thus when
needed, the building can be used as one business space or, if necessary, can be rented
to independent companies. The building, with its bold approach and modest design
approach, is one of the most striking and exemplary structures to have been produced
in recent years in that it demonstrates the possibilities for creating simple but effective
architectural interventions in the citys urban sprawl.

The working areas of this office building have for the most part a southern aspect, with
service and technical units being positioned along the northern side. Mobile panels,
automatically controlled from inside, have been designed to allow climate and light
control on the southern side. The faade makes reference to the Black Sea vernacular
with the ground floor designed as a blind floor, while the upper floors have been designed as semi-transparent panels interspersed with wooden panels. To enhance the
perception of the building from its surroundings and to emphasize its nighttime appearance, special illumination has been designed in the moving panels on the eastern
and southern faades, to create different effects in accordance with the movement of
the panels. The indoor area is designed to be consistent with the overall architectural
theme using natural materials such as marble, wood and glass.

The Yeilyurt Office Building is located in the factory complex of the Samsun Organized
Industrial Zone in the Samsun borough of Tekkeky 13 kilometers east of Samsun on
the Samsun-Ordu Highway. Built in 1987, the building belongs to one of Turkeys most
important iron-steel producers, the Yeilyurt Group. The office building, positioned in
the factory area 2 kilometers from the Yeilyurt Steel Harbor Dock and the Yeilyurt
Iron-Steel Factory, has been approached as an independent management structure set
away from the steelworks and rolling mill units where iron waste is recycled at high
temperatures unlike most factory management structures that have a direct physical
relationship with production.
The management structure is in a prime position in the southern corner of the factory
complex next to the highway allowing it to function as a control point by observing
vehicles entering and leaving the factory. There is an indoor parking area in the basement of the 5-storey management structure, which is built on a 623 square- meter
plot and consists of 2,025 square meters of interior area. On the ground floor there is a
reserve office area which has been perceived as a multi-purpose lounge and a room,
with management offices and other service units on the middle floors; an archives and
a dining hall are located on the top floor. In the plan, the service and vertical circulation
units are located on the northern side and the work spaces have a southern aspect.
The second and third floors overhang the main body of the structure, which has been
covered with dark natural stone to provide continuity with a folded plate system, thus
emphasizing programmatic differences. In addition, the canopy over the entrance of
the structure have been created with the folded plate method, continuing to the limits
of the plot, thus forming a Porte-cochre. This architectural element, which organizes
the vacant areas around the structure, also emphasizes the separation between the
parking area and the factory entrance, as well as defining the entrance to the building.
Positioned in this semi-rural industrial landscape, the Yeilyurt Office Building is an unusual management structure in the area with its unique architectural quality that results
from its modest scale and simple, clear architectural vernacular; it is this that helps to
encourage the development of a high quality architectural environment in the area.

At a time when architectural transformation has been defined as the practice of cladding and beautification, the most important criterion of the design was to avoid decorative interior or exterior cladding while maintaining the external aspects of the existing
building, with its rational structure and simple faade.The building, which is located in
the busy pedestrian and traffic area of Gayrettepe-Istanbul, was built according to the
requirements of Yorum Agency. The gallery, formed by the removal of a section of the
corbel, from the 1st to the 5th floor on the long side of the rectangular building, acted
as the impetus to any new aspects; the vertical area acts as an interface between the
main usage areas and the city. When necessary this structure can be included in the
internal use of the building via the opening/closing systems.

Positioned on Yldz Posta Avenue, which connects Barbaros Boulevard to the Istanbul
Ring Road after it leaves the Bosphorus Bridge, Yorum Ajans Office Building is located
in the Retired Officers Housing Estate consisting of two parts and built in 1963. Located
on the corner of the plot at the intersection of Yldz Posta Avenue and Villa Avenue,
which separates the districts of Esentepe and Gayrettepe, all the floors of the 8-storey
building, with the exception of the basement, ground and first floors that house a bank,
have been renovated and transformed into the headquarters of an advertising agency.
The critical stance of this five-storey renovation project spanning 1,800 square meters
has opened dialogue on the questioning of conventional renovation approaches in contemporary architecture, as well as producing new solutions thanks to the innovative
renovation approach that was adopted.
In order to organize the intricate web of relations in an advertising agency, which are
defined as vertical, horizontal and circular movements, and to remove any possible disconnection which might result from the expansion of these performative movements
over 5 floors, the designers suggested creating a gallery space that travelled throughout the five floors at the front. This space, which continues over the long front on the
southeastern side of the building, which is positioned on a long thin parcel of land, rips
through the horizontal space installation and converts it into the vertical; thanks to this
long thin gallery space in which there is a flight of stairs, the relationship between the
floors takes on a performative feature that goes beyond the visual. This unusual intervention in the space installation positions the designers in opposition to contemporary
renovation tendencies while still attempting to make the structure aesthetically visible;
at the same time the structure offers itself, with its flaws, without being idealized, thus
creating a calm environment in which its essence can be expressed. Instead of making
additions, the elimination of its weight has made it more legible. This mental distancing
from the current discourses in the architectural environment necessitates adopting a
contradictory position to the expectations of perfection and completeness. Thus, rather
than pursuing perfection, there is a demand for every intervention to cause a little
more disruption, every permanent piece that is missing to make its absence felt, thus
creating a feeling of roughness in the center of the design. Even the style of intervention
carried out on the faade of the structure is seen to be rough. The transformation of a
part of the faade rather than the whole is a reminder of the generic world in which it
still exists; on the other hand, the fact that the horizontal order is interrupted confounds
expectations of any type of integrity.
This fluid gallery space, which transforms not only the outer world into an observational view but also the industrial stairs that enable one to move through the scenery,
the brutal approach that leaves the electro-magnetic systems open because of the low
ceiling, and the constructive beauty of the structure all present evidence that the building can exist as it is. Yorum Ajans Office Building is a rare example, due to the radical
renovation approach, which demonstrates the importance of adopting an opposing
stance within the contemporary architectural environment in Turkey and of creating a
critical position that is able to constantly change position.

The Kadky Branch of Ziraat Bank is situated on a corner plot behind the Karaky Quay,
overlooking the wharf and the historical peninsula. In the construction plan the ground
floor has been dedicated to branch operations, while the upper floors were planned to
house other work units. Unlike the solid walls normally preferred for bank structures,
transparency was chosen here. The objective was to ensure that the buildings faade
complemented the texture of the Kadky silhouette. The bearing system, which forms
the basis of the architecture and constitutes the spine of the building, continues along
the arcade on Rhtm Road, with a reference to traditional bank architecture. The objective was to produce an expansive perspective extending from the Karaky Quay to
the Historical Peninsula and Haydarpaa Train Station, thus allowing optimum benefit
from the view.

The existing Ziraat Bank Kadky Branch, located on the corner parcel at the intersection
of Haydarpaa Rhtm Road and Baavu Street, across from the Karaky Quay, was
demolished and redesigned to be as transparent as possible, due to the extraordinary
view of the historic Haydarpaa Train Station and the Historic Peninsula beyond. The
aim was to ensure maximum light from both sides of the building enjoying the view
due to the buildings position on a corner plot. In accordance with this aim, on the plan
the core and service areas were located on the blind surfaces to create the necessary
free space for the open office areas. While the ground and mezzanine floors of the 9-floor building have been allocated to branch transactions, the basement has been given
over to plumbing and the vault, and the 8th floor is a multi-purpose chamber, featuring
a full terrace on the main side. The other floors have been allocated as office units.
While the template and the limits of the plot maintain the existing urban texture, the
pedestrian arcade continues its characteristic design approach, thus establishing urban
continuity and contextual relationships with the city. The extension of the urban repertoire along the Haydarpaa Rhtm Road throughout the design of the faade, which
gives the building its unique character, is an interesting experiment in turning structural requirements into expressionistic architecture on the faade. The vertical bearings,
whose emphasis has been increased by the white opaque glass coating, curl back over
the terrace created by setting back the penthouse wall, and thus are transformed into
frames to form pergolas. These vertical lines, independent of the surface at the ground
and on the penthouse floors, emphasize their structural roles and thereby once again problematize the tense relationship between the surface and structure, which has
been on the agenda since the early 20th century.

The G Plus Sales Office has been designed as an office in which the investor can follow
local transactions, but which also accommodates sales and showroom sections for the
G Plus project. It is located in the Gneli district of Istanbul on an area of 100,000 square
meters. The sales office is on the buildings ground floor, a significant segment of which
comprises studio and 1BR apartments, and also houses a bank, a model display hall,
and consultancy offices where customers can obtain information. The 1BR showroom
apartment on Level 1 is separated from the administration offices by a gallery. The
G Plus sales office reflects the simple elegance of the G Plus faade, and includes a smaller version of the arcade, a characteristic of the project. The landscaping in the front is
designed in the same vernacular as the G Plus project.

The G PLUS Sales Office, which is in the Istanbul borough of Gneli, is located on a
curved corner parcel intersected by Mimar Sinan Avenue, which heads off from the
Gneli Junction at the Atatrk Boulevard turnoff, and Yaln Kore Avenue and nar
Avenue, which run parallel to it. The construction of the G Plus project has commenced
on two separate plots, each measuring approximately 20 acres, on either side of Yaln
Kore Avenue, which forms a boundary between the two boroughs of Baclar and
Bahelievler. The project consists of two 23-storey blocks containing 550 apartments
and 60 commercial units. The G Plus Office, built in order to promote this residential
and business center, directly reflects a clear and simple architectural expression in its
own design and in that of the project it represents thanks to a design approach that
creates outer surfaces that are transparent to bring out the steel frame bearing system
and the rational grid created on the facade. Colour is used to create a deliberate tension between the public and private areas; the interior areas have been given a light
color, in contrast to the darker exterior faades of the two-floored sales office, which
was constructed on approximately 300 square meters of land, with 450 square meters
of interior space. The G Plus project, which has a total construction area of 100,000
square meters, has apartments of different styles and sizes, namely, 45 square meter
studios, 65 square meter 1+1 apartments and 95 square meter 2+1 apartments. A 1+1
apartment is used as a show apartment on display on the ground floor of the G Plus
Sales Office. Also included on the ground floor of the building are customer offices, bank
representatives and an exhibition section where models of the available space can be
seen. On the top floor of the building, in addition to the offices of the managers, a show
studio apartment is located.
In connection with the recent rise in the demand for luxury housing, new types of
commercial presentation spaces have evolved with sales offices and show apartments.
These new types of representational environments that allow for the promotion, marketing and even the option of trying out merchandise like housing, office or commercial
units while they are at the planning stage and not yet even under construction have
made it possible to go beyond the relationship of the conventional perception and
experience and the architectural location to create new forms of treatment and perception. In these presentational locations, which dissolve the familiar divisions between
the representational and the real, between the material and the non-material, objects,
symbols, visual models, animations and short films are used as well as interactive surfaces, models and catalogues of materials to market the reality of the merchandise to
potential buyers by using creative methods to allow them to experience close up the
partially idealized sample house, commercial space and offices. Commercial presentation areas are most frequently built as temporary spaces in order to create an architectural atmosphere; here in G Plus Office, the presentation areas have been constructed
in order to present the corporate identity, to display the quality of what is to be constructed and to create a positive impression with the customer. By centering themselves
on the buyers perception and psychology, G Plus Offices has created one of the most
intelligently designed and creative design areas in recent years.

With the advantage of being a temporary building, the sales structure built to market
Maksimum Evler was not subjected to recent restrictions known as Back View and Impact Zone Decisions regulating development along Istanbuls Bosphorus with constraints regarding the relationship with topography, block size and roof form. All decisions
on project design focused solely on the aesthetic aspects of architecture. The activation
of this emphasis, which has an impact on perception from both near and afar, has led
to the questioning of existing development conditions once more by those with an
interest in the subject, even if for a limited period of time.

Maksiumum Evler is located in the Istanbul borough of Beikta in the district of Ortaky
where the historical texture gives way to the fragmented structures of gated residential estates. This is a gated estate consisting of three six and seven-storey blocks on
a long, thin parcel on a steep incline descending from Havaclar Park and overlooking
the Bosphorus Bridge. The project, commenced in 2001, covers approximately 8,000
square meters, with 25 different styles of flats ranging from 160 to 406 square meters in
size. As with every gated community that claims to create its own social environment,
this residential estate has social facilities such as indoor-outdoor pools, a caf, fitness
center, sauna and cinema.
Instead of attempting to camouflage the supporting concrete walls which are used
as ramparts on the steep incline with an elevation difference of 12 meters, they are
treated as elements of the severe landscape and function as circulation layers that
provide access to other buildings. The design team has chosen to demonstrate the intervention that has been made with nature and emphasise the process used in creating
this artificial topography on which the structures are built with an exposed surface and
landscape design rather than covering up the concrete sustaining walls. In contrast to
this approach, the three residential blocks and the single-storey sales office structures
have been covered with wooden composite panels, thus establishing a relationship
between these four structures in different positions and of different size through use
of material. This method of covering while revealing aims at creating a tense relationship by using a third design approach, that is, the brutalist attitude, which creates an
integrated surface effect. In accordance with this design approach, a decisive tension
has been created between the revealed artificial concrete topography, which creates
a monolithic effect, and the wood-clad prismatic building blocks that create a massive
effect. This relationship creates an effect of alienation that disrupts the familiarity of
construction conventions.
Although not visible from the Bosphorus, the Maksimum Evler estate is still subject
to the regulations governing building dimensions under the Bosphorus Legislation, and
accordingly, construction conventions have had a direct effect on the formation of the
blocks. However, as temporary structures are exempted from the provisions of this law,
taking advantage of this loophole the Maksimum Evler Sales and Promotions Office
has been designed as a radical experiment to emphasize the space within using design
opportunities that are independent from construction conventions.
Clearly visible as a part of the urban silhouette of the city while crossing the Bosphorus
Bridge, the Maksimum Evler Sales Office has been designed to be seen as well as for
the view. The single volume promotional office juts out from the concrete supporting
wall with a cantilever. This single-floored structure with sliding window surfaces enables the elimination of not only physical limits, but also visual boundaries, making it
unique among its kind. Within the structure is a small presentation area where kitchen
and bathroom cabinet options are included as well as a small model of the development.

At the construction stage, the area accommodating the project introduction and sales
functions was designed to be used as a common area after completion. The exposed
concrete-frame structure was extricated by being elevated from the ground level; this
effect is intensified by the addition of a pool stretching along the front faade. Approaching the building from the left corner, the first axis has been left open to create an
empty frame unit, and the interior functions have been placed in a glass mass that
stretches to the ground just behind the columns after the second axis. The asymmetrical positioning of the glass mass inside the frame structure has been reinforced with
the position of the entrance vestibule. The interior circulation of the marketing office is
designed with glass surfaces that stretch to the ground on the front faade, and glass
surfaces reaching sea level at the posterior, enabling the perception of the entire area
of the housing complex.

One of the rapidly expanding areas to the west of Ankara since the 1990s is the suburban
region of ayyolu village and mitky estate and environs where gated communities
are springing up. This tendency towards creating fragmented semi-urban environments
has transformed the region into experimental areas where every type of residential
typology, from the luxurious, prestigious and high security block-style residences with
gardens to terraced houses and apartment blocks, can be found. In these scattered
suburban districts, which are increasing and intensifying, in response to demands and
in order to create a meaningful world, many have turned their faces inwards, trying to
overcome deficiencies in municipal or social facilities within the complex itself.
Lost in this untidy suburban landscape, the Park 312 Evleri Sales Office is positioned
near ayyolu Village at the intersection of 2432 Avenue and 1920 Avenue, a road which
leads to Beysukent, within the 312 Ulusoy City Complex on a steep slope on the inner
side of the road. This housing complex consists of 160 houses arranged in 3 blocks on
ramparts built into the sloped land interspaced by landscaping and recreational arrangements. Park 312 Evleri Sales Office, built for the sales and promotion of the complex,
is positioned at the tip of the land, on the northwestern side of the site, observable
from the ayyolu Ky Road. This single-story sales unit, which will continue to be
used once the construction is finished, covers 300 square meters in total; differing from
ordinary office structures it is built in brute concrete, and has been left uncovered, thus
expressing the clear and simple attitude of the designer.
This brutal approach has been emphasized by a simple elevated 8-columned concrete
frame, thus eliminating the connection with the ground, and the transparent glass surfaces placed inside the structure further enhance the effect. The reflection pool, which
has been created between the glass surface drawn back on the front faade and the
concrete colonnade, creates different plays of light, causing changes in the tone and
texture of the structure during the day. The rhythmic order and classical effect of the
concrete structure takes on a modern and asymmetric quality due to the positioning
of the vestibule and the fact that the first axis has been left empty. The proportions of
this pavilion structure, as well as its architectural positioning and delicately constructed
atmosphere, attempts to create an extraordinary solution to the layout, succeeding in
establishing a sustainable, fluid plan scheme with the office and service areas collected
in the center, separated from the outer walls of the structure, thus creating a floating
effect. These compacted service and office areas have been carefully positioned in the
scheme, dividing the main body into two, a presentation hall and a meeting room. In
this way a free space is established and the fluidity has been continued by the corridors
that flow around them. With all of these simple and modest qualities, Park 312 Evleri
Sales Office is one of the most successful office structures created in recent years, presenting architectural richness and sensitivity.

The building, designed as the sales office of the Parkoran project, was planned by ACE
Mimarlk on the old parliamentarian lodgings land at Ankara Oran. It is a small-scale building appended to the settlements main entrance. The buildings marketing function is
fulfilled through its open-office structure. The area allocated for sales representatives at
the ground level of the two-story building joins a main hall with the option to exhibit.
The offices of bank representatives and a conference room located on the second floor
are positioned around a gallery that connects both floors. The bearing system of the
building is intended to be as plain as possible, and is a steel frame construction; this
decision is also reflected in the general character of the design.

The Turan Gune Boulevard, which connects Ankaras city center to the first ring road
circling the city, is one of the most important arteries determining the urban development to the south of the city, and stretches as far as Eymir Lake. In this region at the
southern outskirts of Ankara where the urban texture is bounded by the ring road are
the former lodgings of the Turkish Parliament, diplomatic complexes and the OR-AN
settlement, one of Ankaras first satellite residential projects designed by evki Vanl.
Since the 1990s, it has been acknowledged as being one of the citys more prestigious
areas due to its location near Turan Gune Boulevard, ease of access to the city center
and residential profile of bureaucrats and technocrats.
The ParkOran estates, constructed by the Mesa-Aktrk-Real Estate Marketing partnership with the Public Housing Authority (TOKI), consists of a total of 1,832 apartments
spread over 12 blocks each consisting of 32 storeys. This complex was erected to replace the 400-unit lodgings of the Turkish Parliament constructed by Behruz inici in 1984.
The lodgings were privatized and sold off, later being demolished in 2006.
The MAE-PA Sales Office, which is on a small scale measuring 300 square meters, was
designed as the sales and promotion office of the ParkOran project. The sales office was
built on the southern edge of a plot measuring 246,650 square meters, near the former
entrance, thus connecting it to the Turan Gune Boulevard. The two-story sales and
promotion office, with a total of 560 square meters, has been constructed with a steel
bearing system, in keeping with the general character of the project. On the ground
floor are located the open-office units of the sales representatives and a large-scaled
model to help customers understand the layout of the settlement. On the gallery floor
there are open-office units reserved for 5 bank sales representatives and a meeting
room. As with many sales office, the gallery has been designed with a large degree of
empty space which makes it possible to perceive the model from the upper floor; on
the other hand, a distinct difference from other sales offices is that the show apartment
has been built as a separate structure outside the building. For this reason, a connection has been created to provide access to the show apartment at a point inside the
sales office, opposite the entrance, and a semi-enclosed corridor has been constructed
outside the building.
Control of daylight has been made possible with the installment of a second conductive
surface formed from horizontal metal blinds placed in front of the transparent entrance
on the southern faade. This arrangement gives the ParkOran MAE-PA Sales Office its
main character. In this way a deep surface has been formed between the conductive
blinds and the transparent surface of the building, and the action of entering the building has been transformed into an experience of passing between two walls and the
interface created between them. The building, in addition to its rather plain and simple
design, quietly creates its own rhythm and harmony thanks to the delicate steel carriers which are repeated along the faade.

The office building is located on a slope along the skdar-mraniye access road in
Istanbuls mraniye district in such a way that its faade is visible from the highway.
Since the building was to form the first impression of the housing project, it needed to
have an attractive architectural language. While the geometric wooden panels form a
second faade in front of the glass surface, reinforcing the buildings perception from
the highway, the full-empty effect of the panels provides sun control and sound insulation. Hence, a comfortable office environment has been created inside. Natural stone,
wood and glass materials have been combined in the building, and sharp geometric
lines create the buildings general character. The landscape design shares the same
language, also emphasizing this character.

The Sur Yap Sales Office is located on the Altunzade-ekmeky axis of the ile Highway, a road that has been the impetus for the creation of luxury complexes, office,
finance and shopping centers on Istanbuls Anatolian side. The Sur Yap Sales Office was
built in 2010 as the promotion and sales office for the Sur Yap Exen Istanbul Estates,
which is planned to be constructed on one of the largest remaining tracts of land within
the borders of the borough of mraniye. Designed to promote the residential complex
which will consist of a recreational area surrounded by a 44-floor residential block and
11-15-floor horizontal residential blocks on the perimeter of the land, the Sur Yap Sales
Office will be used as the head office of Sur Yap on completion of the project. Due to
the projection that the sales office building will be used later as well, it was built from
durable materials like brute concrete and is located on the edge of the plot, thus not
obstructing the integral plan of the rest of the complex.
The three-storey structure has a total of 2,182 square meters of indoor space. Located
on an incline, two floors form the basement, one of which is below ground level. On the
ground floor, which has been designed as the promotions and marketing office, there
are sales and management units and an exhibition area; the first basement functions
as a showroom for model apartments and the second basement houses the technical
capacity and an indoor car park.
The southern faade of the building, which runs parallel to the ile Highway on the
southern edge of the plot and which can be seen from the road, is covered with prismatic wooden panels, providing an idea about the design of the projected residential
complex; these panels help to control light and sound. Two narrow balconies, which
extend along the faade of the building, have been created by forming an intermediate
space between the conductive wooden surface which acts as a filter and the transparent main faade.
The wide prismatic transparent tear created on the northern facade has been carried
over to the eastern faade and gives the building a feel of being a mass with a hollowed-out interior. The building has been designed as a rectangular prism covered with
natural stone, thus creating a massive and monolithic impression from the exterior.
In order to strengthen this architectural expression, the oblique sharply geometrical
surfaces around the transparent surfaces have been covered with wooden strips to
make the walls appear thicker and to increase the impression of a twisting towards
the inside of the mass. This prismatic geometry has also been used in the landscaping
on the northern front of the building, and the formal continuity has been continued in
the design of the immediate surroundings. Thanks to the difference in elevation, the
first basement floor, which has been treated as a completely transparent entity, forms
a tense relationship with the massive nature of the first floor.
This small-scaled prestigious building distinguished by a tense design approach and a
high precision striking design approach brings a fresh breath of air to Turkish architectural design.

The Zorlu Center Sales Office was completed by transforming and redefining a site building. The north gallery, the first of the two large galleries appended to the north and
south perimeters of the existing two-story building, was defined as the entrance with a
faade that is as permeable as possible. The lower hall was designed as a space where
information-specific instruments are distinguished from structural elements, and the
south gallery is an area in which the fragments of the structural solution used in various sections of the project can be observed. The mood room, the last area within the
circulation after the south gallery, is provided with sound and vision insulation; here a
promotional film on the building is screened, as well as other similar presentations. The
offices situated on the top floor have been used without any alterations.

Built in Istanbuls Zincirlikuyu district, the Zorlu Center is a mixed-use mega complex
that includes a performing arts center, as well as residential and office space and hotel
and shopping mall programs. Subsequent to the privatization in 2007 of the 96,505
square meter area belonging to the General Directorate of Highways, the Zorlu Center
Architecture and Urban Design Competition was opened and a total of 117 firms submitted projects, including 13 international architectural offices. The winning project was
that designed by Emre Arolat Architecture and Tabanlolu Architecture Partners Enterprise Group.
In order to promote and attract potential customers to the Zorlu Center Project, a project
that would pull the urban development commenced in the 1980s of office buildings,
shopping malls and luxury residential structures built on the Zincirlikuyu-Levent-Maslak
axis towards Zincirlikuyu, the Zorlu Center Sales Office was created by transforming the
prefabricated two-storey worksite into a sales and information unit. The extraordinary
design approach that can be seen in many works by Emre Arolat Architecture is also
apparent in this rapidly achieved transformation project. In addition to the entrances
that are two storeys in height on both of the narrow facades of the existing building,
the addition of exhibition halls in front of the long faade has created a textured and
opaque second faade. Thanks to this feature, the building has been given a new function without disrupting the existing walls and structure. In the 8-meter high transparent
entrance hall added to the narrow faade there is a table with a digital screen known as
a media surface; in addition, there is also another exhibition hall located in the center of
the project model, on the ground floor, offering a special isolated location, known as a
mood room, in which visual and audio presentations can be watched. The four office
areas on the upper floor of the structure have been left without any changes and are
used as meeting rooms.
As opposed to the written and visual bombardment that conventional sales offices
are subjected to, the information about and the impression of the project that was to
be created for the Zorlu Center Sales Office was designed to be transmitted through
the architectural atmosphere created inside the building in keeping with the designed
architectural scenario. In order to create this impressive, but fragile atmosphere, rather
than employing glossy images, a range of design strategies through architectural features was preferred. In accordance with this intended effect and impression, some
parts of the building have been left as quiet spaces with subdued lighting; in addition
to differences in color, materials and texture, the employment of bright surfaces and
illuminated lines creates a passive route. In turn, a cinematic spatial perception is created by the interconnection of areas in a visual, tactile and audible sense. Unlike the
tectonic approach, which takes its power and effect from combining each of the materials with the others, the architectural atmosphere in the Zorlu Sales Office is supported
by features that go beyond the material and concrete, thus requiring a deep intuitive
understanding taking one beyond visual perception, creating one of the most extraordinary projects that redefine functions in contemporary Turkish Architecture.

The granite stone structure was constructed on a 295 square meter plot of land with
an existing lake with a depth of 9.5 meters. The structure was built in accordance with
underground water purification and special insulation techniques and data pertaining
to earthquake, ecological and smart building technology. Once the construction was
finished, it was selected by BMWs head office in Germany as the most successful and
exemplary BMW building in terms of functionality and art.

The Borusan Auto stinye Branch, built in 2002 for sales, display and maintenance services for companies Borusan Automotive group companies, is situated on Sariyer Street
on the inner curve of stinye bay. During the design process the complex, which was
built over an area that had been used as a granite quarry, made use of the 9.70- meter
deep pond formed as a result of the quarry excavation created by the subterranean
sulphated waters.
As Borusan Auto stinye lies within the area on which the Bosphorus Legislation has
imposed a height restriction of +9.50 meters; the construction had to go below ground.
The structure, possessing an area of 38,880 square meters of closed space spread over
17,295 square meters of land, consists of a display and showroom block, managerial
offices, mechanic-maintenance workshops and a car park. This integral and compact
complex functions like an organism of sections which can work independently and was
designed to make efficient use of natural resources at every stage and to harmonize
with the topography.
In the complex an intricate recycling system made of a combination of steel and reinforced concrete has been installed that purifies and recycles 95% of the rainwater collected from the roof via a biological process. This water is used in wet areas, for cleaning
vehicles and watering the landscaped areas, and is stored to be used in case of fire.
At the same time, subterranean and surface water on the site is collected in different
systems to prevent the underground sulphated water from coming into contact with
the surface water that is to be used for recycling. Oil that is collected from the vehicles
is recycled via a recycling purification system. The conscientious and environmentallysensitive building management policy has ensured that waste such as glass, paper,
metal, oil and wood is separated and collected. The Art Workshop, situated within the
complex that makes this building different from other sales and service units welcomes
many creative young artists, enabling them to make sculptures from the waste, as
well as used automobile parts, thus transforming the showroom building into a public
space dedicated to art and culture. In connection with this, a large metal work by the
German sculptor Karl Schlamminger has been placed at the front entrance courtyard to
emphasize the companys keen interest in contemporary art.
The complex includes a high percentage of energy efficient heating, cooling and lighting
solutions which are operated by automated systems that regulate themselves according to external environmental data.
The companys motto, creativity and perfection, that has also determined the corporate identity of Borusan Automotive, has given rise to the production of creative solutions in the plans of the building. In this context, the vehicle lift goes from the basement
floor to the roof, and continues onto the demonstration platform via a moveable section in the roof. In addition, the steel joists used on the two floors of the car park have
been built so that they can be dismantled if so desired, thus creating the possibility that
this area can be used as a multipurpose hall at a later date.
Borusan Auto, BMW Group stinye not only is located in an extraordinary location, but
the environmentally-friendly design decisions that were determined during the construction phase and the sensitivity shown to recycling in the day-to-day functioning of
the building mean that it is one of the most striking buildings of the companys Turkish
and German branches, all of which have been formed with concern for the environment.

The building whose exterior resembles a glass box on an area of 1,700 square meters
on Badat Avenue was designed with structural elements that integrate with the locale. The steel building elements and all mechanical and electrical systems have been left
exposed in this building, which was constructed using the steel frame bearing system,
and the solution chosen for the faade was the planar system. The building features a
gallery space that channels daylight from the upper floor to the basement. When viewed from above, this space adjacent to the staircase also makes it possible to perceive
the buildings depth. Housing a Mercedes showroom on the basement and ground
floors, the structure features a restaurant on Level 1, offices on Levels 2 and 3, and a
terrace on the uppermost level, which can be used when weather permits.

Badat Avenue, which was given its name during the Ottoman period and has connected Istanbul and Anatolia since the Byzantine period, has been the most prestigious
communication axis on the Asian side of the city since the mid-1930s. The area has
grown in a distinct pattern with an urban configuration formed mainly by residential
structures and since the 1980s has been favoured by the prestigious offices and showrooms of high-end brands.
The Koluman / Mercedes Showroom building is located on Badat Street and was created by converting a partially constructed structure. It was decided to leave the existing
steel structure system exposed and to make the entire faade transparent so that the
activities and products could be exhibited over the 1,700 square meters of space and
made visible from the road. This transparency was not limited to the glass curtain on
the front, but was also echoed on the ground in the gallery space providing visual communication and continuity of space between the four floors.
Mercedes-Benz automobiles are exhibited in the ground floor and basement showroom. On the first floor is M-Cafe, which also performs outside catering as a bar and
restaurant. The second floor serves as office space and the top floor is used by the
owner of the firm as office space and reception area for entertaining visitors. Despite
all this diversified utilization, the transparency of the entire faade of the structure has
been approached as an integral design vernacular in order to reflect the firms corporate identity. In the design of the Koluman Mercedes-Benz Showroom, the objective of
which is to reflect the corporate identity through advanced-technology cars and their
display, the idea to reveal the buildings own construction technology, its functionalist
construction and mechanical aesthetic can be seen in every detail. The showroom building has been designed to be seen and observed; its large glass surfaces without any
joinery that is carried by a web-like system that gives the perception of a glass prism
and a large showcase have exposed all the constructional details. The solutions for the
ceilings of the basement and ground floor, arranged as a showroom, and the first floor,
which serves as a cafe, are a compressed design, echoing the well-integrated engine
parts of a car, while the ventilation systems and installations have been left exposed,
in a Brutalist approach.
This prestigious showroom, with every detail attesting to its functional and innovative
structure, the U-shaped staircase that connects the floors, the vehicle ramp that leads
from the ground floor to the basement and the specially-designed mirrored lighting
system, which prevents the light falling directly on the exhibited vehicles, goes beyond
conventional solutions and approaches; indeed, this is one of the most distinctive, highest precision showroom spaces built in Turkey.

The purpose of the ark Hal General Directorate building was to bring together all the
companies affiliated with the same group on the Eskiehir highway. The general directorate, one of the first buildings constructed on the Eskiehir highway, was planned
in 2001 and completed in 2003. The first four floors above ground level were planned
as a carpet showroom, while the upper floors were designed to function as an office.
All services and cores are on the west end of the building, leaving the office and store
spaces free for use. From the earliest stages of design, the building was to be modern
and economical, to have flexibility and to be in sync with both architectural and engineering solutions. Though the buildings western and northern faces deviated from the
project somewhat during the construction stage, overall it creates an effect of powerful
simplicity on the Eskiehir highway.

The ark Carpet and ORS General Headquarters Building is located in the Mustafa Kemal neighborhood where the urban expansion along the Eskiehir Road peters out.
This area, which is interrupted by the wide expanse of land belonging to the Atatrk
Forest Farm and Village Services Research, is part of the developmental growth on the
west side of Ankara; the headquarters establishes its own context within the partiallyurbanised landscape and thus creates a municipal dialogue with the southern side of
the Eskiehir Road.
Stationed on 12,100 square meters of area in total, the first four floors of the six-storey
structure are organized as showroom and sales units for the ark Carpet firm; the other
two floors have been designed as office units for the Ortadou Rulman Industries Headquarters. This double installation has been written into the mass of the structure; in
contrast to the undivided wide spaces of the sales units on the first four floors of the
building, three sides of the two top office floors have been pulled back, thus creating
dimensional changes that make the diversity of function legible in the mass. In contrast
to the asymmetrical mass that can be perceived along the Eskiehir Road, the eastwest scheme of the structure has a clear symmetry. The muted design of the eastern
and western faades of the structure, as well as the fact that all the service and circulation units are positioned on the western faade of the structure in the plan, creates
undivided areas that are open to free use. Gallery space has been created in the middle
of the four-storey carpet store and by placing independent vertical circulation elements
inside this space, three-dimensional perceptions have been created. The open-space installation of the gallery has been transformed on the office floors by means of terraces
and their transparent fronts; as a result of three faades being pulled back to create
terraces, the interior receives sufficient daylight. Despite this reduction in the size of
the structure, an interior garden has been designed on the top floor of the office plan
to provide inner areas of the structure with daylight, which they would otherwise not
receive.
Continuous horizontal sunshades along the semi-transparent entrance faade redefine
the proportions of the structure, converting the vertical effect of the blank surfaces to a
horizontal effect. Owing to the interior design on the entrance floor and the floor above
it, the flexible front installation has been transformed into a showcase for the carpets,
emphasizing the showroom identity of the structure and enabling the perception of
the products despite the fast flow of the traffic on the Eskiehir Road. Due to this understated and economical treatment, ark Carpet and ORS General Headquarters has
successfully created architectural articulation through design nuances and richness; it
is one of the unique examples on the Eskiehir Road that manages to distinguish itself
from others with its precision within architectural plurality and its clear approach.

After a number of trials, GAD and Gkhan Avcolu created this design to fit a triangular
area. At street level, the project is composed of a gigantic steel seashell. The shape of
the building eliminates the necessity for interior columns, thus not only meeting requirements, but also creating an expansive space. The steel display boxes were handmade
by local experts, with a design that suggests infinity. The lighting system consists of
standard 150-watt light bulbs suspended from the ceiling, as this is the most common
form of lighting in traditional Istanbul fish markets. The new design offers a solution
for this famous fish market with a modern and pragmatic approach while assisting in
efforts by the local public to beautify the market.

On completion of the Kadiky Underground Toilets Project on the Anatolian side of

Istanbul in 1996, GAD Architecture executed another civil project, implementing their
plans for the restoration of the fish market in the historic Beikta market area. The
old fish market positioned in a triangular space flanked on the other two sides by the
Panaia Rum Orthodox Church and the Rum School was completely removed from this
area, and replaced with a design that designed it with a shell-shaped concrete canopy.
In order to create maximum openness, this cover, which was interpreted in a shell
metaphor by the architect, is held up by three supports stationed at the edges of the
area; it has been constructed as a steel case and with the creation of a continuous surface, the duality of supporter-supported has been eliminated. In contrast to the carriersystem logic, and appearing like an in situ concrete shell, this layer has an opaque and
rough texture owing to the steel constructions that have been covered with concretebased panels; this effect has been emphasized by the application of a covering and
waterproof overcoat. Thus, a tactual and visual dialogue with the material culture of the
historical environment has been established.
This continuous triangular-shaped surface, approximately 1.70 meters thick, descends
from the corners to make contact with the gradient of the street at three different points. The continuation of the inclined topography under the cover intensifies the point
relationship with the cover, creating a state of ambivalence to the full and heavy effect
of the shell. When this continuous surface that has been created with a flowing formula
is examined, it can be seen that the sculptural features of the construction are derived
from the broken surfaces. The design, enriched by these delicate nuances, is made
even more remarkable by the circular opening located in the middle of the cover. This
oculus in the roof is intended to connect the area beneath the cover with the outer
world by carrying light on sunny days and rain and snow in inclement weather, as well
as providing air circulation.
Unlike the construction of the previous fish market, which, as it functioned in the street
was outward in its positioning, the new fish market has been established as six inwardfacing exhibition blocks and a circulation theme which creates a flow among these.
Due to the inclination of the street, the exhibition blocks have been placed on different
levels and form topographic terraces which create a visual richness in the interior area.
It appears that GAD Architecture has achieved their aim of reconstructing the conventional elements of the fish market in a modern way. Due to the gleaming stainless-steel
counters and glistening atmosphere created by the 150 light bulbs hanging from the
ceiling an extraordinary public project has been created on a shoestring budget and
with limited materials.

The Fish Market is a symbolic building, which, without corners or breaks and with an
elliptical area and mass, ensures simplicity and ease of perception. The shopping area
that coordinates heavy goods, vehicle and pedestrian traffic, provides a hygienic environment; it is defined by a flowing elliptical form rather than being divided into corridors,
thus providing natural direction and perception. In order to bear static tension and pressure, steel was used for the Vegetable Market, as other building materials do not offer
the same ease of construction, transportation or assembly, or the aesthetic lightness
that was required for this building. A lofty area under a guyed steel vaulted roof creates
a controlled and healthy shopping environment. The architectural form of the naturally
air-conditioned shopping area allows all products to be viewed without creating route
confusion.

The market complex, commissioned by the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, is located

in the Grkle neighborhood of the Nilufer district on a hill 21 kilometers from the city
center. It is situated on a strategic point in terms of transport, on the Bursa Highway
at the intersection of the Grkle Link Road and the Bursa-Izmir Road. As the building
in the city was unable to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding population and as
there was no room for expansion, the decision was made to move the existing market
building to the city limits, thus establishing a contemporary complex that would include
a Water Products Hall as well as a Fruit and Vegetable Hall.
The complex, which has a small establishment pattern with its own definitions, offers
a life model; the total area of construction measures 304,000 square meters and incorporates many different aspects, ranging from auction areas to sales units, from management offices to a hotel and a mosque. This variety of programs, each of which have
been built on a hillside independent from one another, gain their own character with
this independence, while being brought together to form a flexible integrity. In this abstract composition, the elliptical-shaped Fruit and Vegetable Market stands in the centre;
the Fish Market Building, resembling a weavers shuttle in shape, the cylindrical Management-Hotel-Restaurant Unit, the elliptical eaves of the entrance and the circular security
unit spread out over the hill. The roles of these units, which have been independently
constructed, and the gaps formed between them are redefined by the movements of
vehicles and people during the day. This movement, the route, orbit, and trajectory of
which have been determined by the topography, defines the natural borders of the
complexes while arranging the entire plot and defining the open areas.
In addition to the 2,400 square-meter, five-storey managerial building, which incorporates a hotel and a restaurant, the complex also incorporates a 51,700 square meter Fruit
and Vegetable Hall with 132 stalls; the wholesale units are located on the mezzanine.
The 4,000 square meter Fish Hall includes 24 shops and ice production units. In addition
to this, the other units of the complex consist of a laboratory where produce is inspected, a packaging unit, a disposal unit, water storage, police building and a mosque, which
is still at the design stage. The 158,000 square meter open space located in the complex
is used as a parking area for trucks and as a box storage area.
These units, formed in a flowing style, manage the flow of vehicles, people and goods
delicately, organizing the transportation and inner circulation, while also creating integrated places under the low-vaulted steel roofs, thanks to the absence of aisles. In
contrast to the monolithic structures of these huge units, for which 3,104,000 kilograms
of steel was used in the construction, the dynamic form, the slender supports and the
steel rack system on the ceiling give the impression that the structure is only gently
resting on the ground. The challenging dimensions and the monolithic structures of the
units provide a balance to the fragmented composition, thus establishing integrity for
the complex, creating a modest monumental effect and an unusual symbolic power in
the rural landscape in which these buildings are located.

In cooperation with the client during the planning stage, it was desired that the corporate identity be reflected in the architecture of the refinery and sales stores. The Laleli
olive oil factory building, located on the olive grove of Tayleli village, was constructed
between the spaces in the grove; no trees were cut down, despite the difficulties that
this created. The sales stand, positioned on the Ayvalk-Burhaniye road on the Tayeli
village plot, is to be completed 6 years after the construction of the refinery. The requisites set out by the clients included the sales of olive oil, olives and by-products, as well
as education-areas where the food, oil and olives of the Edremit gulf can be tasted and
production information given; moreover, the market is to be surrounded with landscaping planted with examples of the Aegean flora.

Located 7 kilometers from the district of Burhaniye in Balkesir and 1.5 kilometers from
the neighbourhood of skele, the Laleli Olive and Olive Oil Refinery-Shop is positioned on
the Tayleli Village Road, which it can be reached via the anakkale-zmir highway. The
shop, built in 2001, is situated within the olive oil production facilities.
Tadm Evi, built amidst olive trees on an empty space totalling 800 square meters, not
only houses sales and exhibition departments, but also other activities, for example, a
cafe, a seminar room and an open market space. Unlike other structures that sell olives and olive oil products, the cafe offers a gastronomical experience in North Aegean
cuisine, the open air museum exhibits goods and objects with cultural relevance to
olive production, and informative activities are carried out in the seminar room for olive
producers. Tayleli Village residents can also offer their produce to the visitors in the
open market space. Thus, the facility supports development from a socio-cultural perspective as well as making an economic contribution to the region. The design concept
of Tadm Evi, built on two floors, was treated with a similar design concept to the olive
oil refinery and the sales outlets in Ankara and Istanbul.
The entrance to two-storey gable-roofed building is through the veranda and the ground floor is dedicated to exhibition, tasting and sales areas. The administrative office
and training room located on the top floor are accessed from the outside of the building
via an unusual structure, namely an open staircase on the second terrace. In the construction of the building, the local architectural repertoire and materials were selected,
and care was taken to use local resources. In the open space surrounding the building,
a landscaping arrangement was carried out, and, in addition to olive trees, medicinal
plants and aromatic herbs unique to the region were planted.
