Context - Antalya has a Mediterranean climate and this climate affects people’s

daily routine and human ergonomics. Because of the climatic conditions,
socialization is happening after the sunset. So it is indispensable to preserve
the trees in the competition area and design the building as a sunshade

The competition area is in the middle of the medium-density housing zone. Therefore
the purpose of the design is to attract the users to the area, not only for the main course
of the building but also for socializing. İt is preferred that the organizing of the building
and the landscape is permeable and flexible for that reason.
Designing - Multi-purpose Performing Arts Hall became the dominant unit in the building
because of its acoustical and other needs. The hall is supported by an orchestra pit,
stages, and technical rooms. So it’s optimized for any other activities. The foyer,
workshops, and rehearsal rooms are open to ‘’Art Street’’ which connects the users in
the park and all functions in the building. A restaurant, an observation platform, public
areas, and courtyards are designed in order to use the building day/night and in
summer/winter.
