Revitalizing Existing Buildings
Ready for renaissance; next step is the betterment of the environment
Access to contemporary arts, access to the shore, all at once!
Seagate of the city; corridor to the Bosphorus
A start for environmental planning; changes in surroundings, activities and communities
Then it was.... Identify abandoned facilities, trigger regional development
The abandoned warehouse building transforms into an arts and culture center
The modern museum, a new consept; an inspirational meeting point
Highlighting the art work; effectively minimalist architectural approach
White and grey; a descent and yet playful platform for display
Simple and motivating to experience and learn
"false ceiling"1995
by Richard Wentworth of New British Sculpture
Inside out; the modern and the ancient merge through transparency
A magnet by the heart of the city; modern arts and social attractions welcome all
Istanbul retrives its fortune; a lively city square for public events, at night as well.
