The Technocity Building in Özyeğin University Campus, Nişantepe in İstanbul is an
innovation center with rental modular offices and labs. Besides being a part of the
campus, it is independent in itself. The design is shaped from transverse diagonals
and tripod columns that recall the surrounding buildings.

The building is based on two main functions; the labs and the rental modular offices.
In order to be able to easily receive deliveries from the service yard and dispose of waste carefully,
the labs are located on the ground floor.
The five labs are designed as mezzanine floors. The first floors are the experiment areas
and their office areas are located upstairs.
The Rental Modular Offices are designed to be located on the upper floors in order to get
the best daylight and avoid the circulation of the other floors.
There are four types of offices, based on their square meters.
These offices are planned to be rented to different companies.
A terrace is located on every office floor for the office workers.
The building also has a 300-seat capacity performance hall for special events.
The foyer opens onto two large terraces.
There are also three workshop areas and a co-working area which unites the technocity and the university.

The site that the Technocity building will be designed on is a slopped land.
The main concern was to turn the slope into an advantage.
Therefore, the design was made to settle on the land across different levels
and unite within the land.
The project is located in the center of the dormitory area and the university area.
It connects to the main road from the North side of the land, thus
differentiating itself from the university entrance and avoiding complications.
However, the building is accessable by pedestrians from all sides of the campus
and welcomes each and every member of the school.
The Technocity Building flows with slope of the site, representing
the harmony of the project and the campus. Also the contrast made with
the tranverse diagonals in the building design reflects the part of the project
that separates itself from the school.

Due to the project area’s geographical location, it has been a
center both for art and for transportation across the Asian side
of İstanbul for a long period of time. The historical Haydarpaşa
Train Station and countless famous art centers are located in
the aforementioned area.
However, the problem is that the means of transport cut across
the city center and passes by the coastal line. Thus, separating the
city center from the sea line. The famous Yel Değirmeni district,
where many art centers are located, cannot meet the sea line;
which raises the concern of redesigning the coastal lines. The
solution for this problem was to cancel the main road that goes
along the sea line and lower it to an underpass. The coastal line
then becomes wider and the new coastal line becomes greener
with walking paths. These walking paths between the green areas
start from the urban plaza next to Haldun Taner City Theater and
they follow the sea line up to the Haydarpaşa Train Station.
The walking paths are designed in accordance with the small
roads that come from the city center.
The city center and Yel Değirmeni are now united by the coastal
line. Just like the roots of a tress, the roads now lead to the sea.
At this point, the need for a new transportation hub rises because
all means of transport have been removed from the district.
The new building will include all means of transport under a
single roof.
The new hub functions as both a tranpsortation hub
and an art center; two qualities that the town Kadıköy is known for.
Therefore, this project aims to unite these two elements under a
single roof and create a new public interaction zone with a new social pattern.
The design brings the whole of İstanbul together and is a reflection of
Kadıköy’s location.
The project area is located on the east side of Haydarpaşa Train
Station and on the north side of Yeldeğirmeni district. Additionally, the
coastal line flows up to the project area.
The building’s terminal area faces the Haydarpaşa Train
Station and the main entrance is facing the Yeldeğirmeni
district.
The area designed to be a green project. Consequently, the building is also designed
to be a green building;hence the green roof. The green roof offers a view terrace whic provides
a view of the sea and the entire coastal line.
As shown in the diagram, the historical Haydarpaşa
Train station, the Haldun Taner City Theater and the historical
Yel Değirmeni district surround the project area. The redesing
of the coastal line has resulted in new areas on the project area.
A recretional area with walking paths that join the city center
to the sea line is located by the sea.
There are ticket areas, kiosk and also a view terrace next to
Haydarpaşa Train Station.
The building has two main functions:
Terminal area and Performance Hall.
The ground Floor consists of outside and inside terminal areas.
The outside terminal area is where the
vehicles park and take off.
The inside terminal area contains ticket offices, a cafe,a restaurant
with outdoor seating area, offices and waiting lounges that
connect directly with the outside terminal area.
The upper floor is designed solely for the
performance halls.
A theater and a concert hall are located
next to each other. These halls open up to a big foyer
with the curtain walls and offers a sea-view.
An escalator located in the outside terminal area climbs up
from the the building to the roof, also providing access to the
view terrace. This escalator adds an industrial look
to the building facade.

The project area located in the city center
aims to create an urban agricultural area,
a recreational area and a field containing
plants of the designer’s choice.
The urban agricultural area provides people
plots to rent where they can plant vegetables or plants.
Colchicum chalcedonicum plant comes from
the Colchicaceae family and is a type of
meadow saffron. It is also known as
“Kadıköy Çiğdemi”. The fact that the plant and the district
where the project area is located share the same name makes
this plant the best option for the field.
The bicycle lane goes through the site and
offers a full tour of the area.
The building is located in the North, next to
the main road. The entrance is located on this road.
And as with the slope the urban
agricultural area and the field flow down.
The building design focuses on two main performing halls.
Due to the fact that these functions have high ceilinged levels
and a connection to the service yards where they receive equipment
and also welcome the artist, they have to be somehow connected
to ground floor. Their height may make them appear massive,
which is why the two performance halls; the theater and concert halls,
are a solid and regular shape. They are located at both ends
of the building and open up to a foyer building. Unlike the performance hall,
this foyer building is unusual and transparent.
Exhibition areas, workshops and seminar rooms are located on the ground floor.
The areas beneath the performance halls have been utilized as small semi-open spaces.

The project in Nişantepe,İstanbul aims to providepsychological
support to children and their families in the hybrid presence of
the district. The design has two opposing lines which is reminis-
cent of it’s surroundings.
A part of the building flows freely where the other is designed
orderly.
Scientific research shows water and green areas have a calming
effect. Therefore there is an ornamental pool that flows through
the building and linkes to the water wall located in the backyard.

The Center focuses on children’s and family’s psychological
wellbeing.
It is located on the land in a very simple way. Since it
is not a large site, the main goal was to include all
the necessities in the building.
The entrance to the building is on the south side of the site.
The other sides are surrounded by trees.
The building has a garden where the children can play
in and help them to adapt to the area.
In the entrance of the building, there is a small ornamental pool
which goes through the lenght of the building and merges
with the water wall in the backyard.
Since the building is a health center, it is designed symmetrically
and orderly, but the south facade has a shell which far from usual.
This shell is designed to grab children‘s attention and create an
interesting building for them.
A small gap enclosed by windows is located in the center of the building.
This area contains nothing but trees and creates a calming effect in the
building with the elements of water and green.
The building contains diagnosis and treatment clinics , which are
located on the North side of the building. These clinics
have terraces that look onto the water wall in the backyard.
the front side of the building is the children’s play area.
The transparent facade allows the children to see the play rooms from the entrance.
