italian architects renato giuseppe sarno and giacomo penco collaborated with the turkish and italian studios of arup design
and engineering consultants to create an entry for the thyssenkrupp elevator istanbul disaster prevention + education center competition.
their proposal features a series of separate structural volumes, specifically designed to withstand earthquakes and natural disasters.
the system of large cubic forms and small paths between recalls the roman-built city center (fori), connecting the developing
site to its historical roots.
day time street view
a network of paths link the north and south sides. while the north side is permeable and the structures are farther apart to allow for traffic,
the south side is more compact to filter noise and pollution coming from the new road. over half the plot is covered in vegetation,
giving the center an outdoor exhibition area and space for the visitors to relax.
