 Pilotis

The idea of structure rising on

pilotis is one of the most effective
solutions of modernism. In this
way, buildings have minimum
contact with the ground level.
Ribbon window

It is a narrow window type that

extends like a horizontal band
from one end to the other end of
the facade. Ribbon window
designs are generally used
together with the free facade
principle of modern architecture.
Because architects want to
prevent the window covering the
entire facade from being blocked
by the carrier system.
 Free plan

Separating each interior space with walls

is a quite strict and impractical attitude.
People who had started to get used to the
practical and variable lives of modern
times needed more flexible interiors.
Free facade

Separating the non-supporting walls

from the carrier allows architects to
design not only an open plan but also
free facades.
 Terrace garden

In this way, some of the green space occupied by

the construction area of the building can be
recreated on the roof.
 circulation

The landscape expression along a busy roadway was made more

pronounced through a series of narrow tree-lined hills that
parallel the building to the north and continued out into the
median.
