The details are becoming clear for the 1/8 corner of the mega structure. The solid permanent level below the impermanent steel cloud. TV Studios for CNNTurk and Kanal D can be seen as yellow and red in the permanent level, -1.

This is the mirror covered core with color coded staircase.

Time Warner & Dogan Istanbul

One section of the Time Warner & Doğan building I'm working on for my project: Migrant Corporation with Diploma 8 unit master, Eugene Han.

The lower 25m is the permanent, higher 25m level is the impermanent space where ownerships change depending on the corporation's economic situation.

The Migrant Corporation

2011-11-18T17:55:00.001Z

AA Diploma 8, unit master: Eugene Han. Project on the migrant corporation. Located at the Mecidiyeköy Ali Sami Yen Stadium site. Design for a new Doğan Media Headquarters: Hürriyet, Kanal D, TNT and CNNTurk. Building is being designed as an indeterminate frame with a platform - long term base and short term / unpredictable programme located above the platform. A very densely used edge will frame to define/influence an empty - potentially an event space. The pedestrian and vehicle relationship is being investigated while the must-have pockets of highly specified spaces for the corporation is provided.

Instead of converting the train station to a hotel, I find the building next to the station more interesting for a hotel conversion.
