turkish firm GAD (global architectural development) have shared images of its project ‘atakoy shopping center’, istanbul, developed in collaboration with dara kirmizitoprak. currently under construction, the 25,000m² center will provide a contemporary and alternate option to the shopping experience. the new center takes advantage of its urban location and injects the area with a larger sense of urban renewal. the architectural strategy works with the building’s facade which performs as a variation of alternating surfaces. the façade responds differently based on north, south, east and west coordinates. the urban fabric on these coordinates also varies from residential, commercial, to urban infrastructure.
