• The aim of the project is
to design Zorlu center, as
an alternative urban
space for Istanbul.

• The green shell which


surrounds the structure
in third dimension
associates with the hill of
Istanbul that was once
used as the recreation
areas of the city.
• This new built up niche,
is adopted as an urban
square that will turn out
to a new social
experience and yet, it is
erected as a new kind of
nature that will erase
the existing idea of
shopping mall.

Zorlu Center, The Playground
Children love to explore and discover new
things more than anything else in the world.
The basic idea was to allow children to use
their imagination to the fullest, enjoying the
diversity of shapes and colors. The design
elements were chosen in a careful manner,
guaranteeing the most incredible play
experience for children of different ages.
Parents Can Safely
Supervise Due to varying
Heights Throughout the
Design The playground has
different heights and it is
bright and colorful; one can
enjoy the natural looking
environment and the
different opportunities for
adventure that are offered
throughout the park. 
Green Roofs
The landscape roof is a derivation of the
original topography by geometric surfaces.
