I Section Beam
Foundation
The building is designed as an exposed steel structure which functions as a semi-open public space. Its lateral
section consists of two naves spanning 25 meters and 8 meters. On one of the long edges of the rectangular
plan houses storage and wet spaces while the other, an outward-facing organic market - mediated by a public
square. The building opens to green areas on both short sides, towards a cemetery on northeastern side and
towards an ecological corridor on southwestern side - a matter of importance for Istanbul’s macro form. The
roof is formed with an exposed reverse tensile truss system. The exposed treatment of the steel beams,
pressure bars and tensiles create a sense of lightness in the large roof.
