GAD architecture: atakoy shopping center, istanbul

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.
