Since the environment of this factory, which has a significant history, is desolate and uncanny, we have made it an interesting place by creating public interaction spaces that will revive the factory and its surroundings with this work we have created.

Technical information

Steel structures located in the south of the historical Electric Factory were created by means of 5×5m modulars.Gridal modules are attached to steel carriers with bolts.Steel carriers are strengthened with the steel truss system placed between the carriers.Steel slabs are placed as a flooring inside the steel beams.
The structure is bolted to the ground by singular foundations.
The brackets on the viewing terraces formed at the viewpoints are supported with cross steel carriers.
By using the surface tear existing on the historical factory facade, the contact points were created from these areas to the factory and a transition was made.
