ARCELIK R&D CENTER BUILDING

Arcelik research and developing building design is developed with the principles of design basis integrated to ecological,economic and social targets. The project that will be located in İstanbul, Çekmeköy is created with the designing smart building idea that is coherent future standarts and based on evaluating research and technology effectively. Landscape and closeness of forest area are starting points for designing building as a “U” shape. One of the most important data for positioning of the building is that north direction. Therefore instead of closely spaces which are surrounded by apartments, paths, locating through to north and forest is predicated. While visual connection is provided by forest view, the transition from outer court to inner court is created by landscape design. The atrium and inner court, landscape and pools which are integrated to main building phsically. These courts are also used as activity and socializing spaces. The main construction system is reinforced concerete. With the steel carrier system which encircles the building as a Shell, design develops a dinamic and innovative identity. Flooring and Shell are functioned separately, a hybrid system is created. Considering to structing relations and mass-void in order to provide cohesion, the building is set back.
