Project details

A vibrant shopping destination for cosmopolitan Istanbul.

The mix of shops, restaurants, leisure and public spaces provides a contemporary city experience, with boulevards, large buildings, piazzas and avenues.

The concepts of a city within a city and a building within a building influenced the design. The architectural intention was to develop the forum to function as an integral part of the city structure, with mall areas read as a series of individual streets rather than malls.
