The Turk Telekom General Head Office Building is designed for an international invitation-only competition.
It is located on Acibadem Street, a strong trade axis in the heart of the city. The region is a crucial nerve of the city, since a number of public transportation links and a thriving trade center can be found in good relationship with nature.
These aspects were taken into account in the design proposal, which translates the contradiction between the forms of the city and those of nature into its form.
We created a diversity with these contrasting spatial and formal contexts.The ascending shattering mass provides efficient daylight usage and air circulation, while the high-tech system usage on the structure and the facades adds to the aesthetics and to the monumental value.
