We raised the main mass and the land from the ground at the same limits and met the requirements in the needs program. In this way, we have obtained circulated spaces and walkable terraces. At the same time, these spaces naturally provided us with new alternatives in the landscape.
So we were able to spread the user experience across the terrain. In addition, we aimed to make the trees that need to be protected as the main element of our landscape design. We wanted the sensitivity of this issue to be perceived in the space in the gallery space in the building core.
On the other hand, the form we used on the facade was a reflection of the honeycomb form, referring to the bee figure, the symbol of the institution we work with. Adapted from a modern perspective.
