In short, this high-rise consists of four simple but interlinked systems which highly react with each other: the atrium – interior leftover, public space – helix, private programs – negative space, and the façade – steady envelope. This linkage results into a great amount of flexibility and differentiation of the mixed-uses. In order to maintain this effect in the inside transparently, the simple form of the envelope was employed to host the static structure.
This “move” radically turns the typology of the skyscraper upside down and defines it newly. Especially in Istanbul where climate plays an important role the introverted tower perfectly reflects the character of the CITY.
