The Design

About Ormankoy Community Centre Aedificium Communitatis

Ormankoy Aedificium Communitatis est aedificium publicum in urbe Istanbul, in Turcia, situm. Testa lignea indolem huius aedificii communitatis definit, dum latae frontes vitreae spatia interiora ad silvam circumiacentem aperiunt. Compages chalybea formam insignem creat atque trabibus concretis innititur, quae ultra duodeviginti metra supra spatium piscinae extenduntur. Duo stagna biologica in gradibus diversis quattuor milia metrorum quadratorum tegunt, atque chemica aspera vitata sunt ut ferae animaliaque domestica protegerentur. Vestimentum ligneum colorem texturamque tempore mutaturum esse exspectatur, sicut tempora anni silvae.

Unique Properties
Wooden shell forms the building's characteristics. Wide glazed façades expand the indoor spaces to nature.

Within the project area there are 2 ponds in different levels. Water quality of both ponds intended to be potable water. The use of hard chemicals has been avoided to ensure the safety of the guest's pets as well as the surrounding wildlife.

Wooden claddings which is expected to change its colour and texture in time - as seen in the seasonal changes of the forest- are used both in indoor and outdoor façades.

Production Technology
Steel frame structure is what gives the unique shape of the building. From ground to 3rd basement levels, steel structure sits on concrete beams which spans over 18 meters above pool space.
Inspiration
Design is an abstraction of surrounding natural environment.

It's aimed to establish an intersection between Ormankoy Community Centre and the surrounded natural park with addition of biological pond which is 4000 sqm in size.

Compared to the natural park level, project building is located on the peak of the land which gives the opportunity of both to see and comprehend the natural park better and also to be seen and comprehended at the same time.
