The new Borusan Music and Art Center in the historic neighborhood of
Beyoglu, Istanbul is a multi-purpose space for exhibitions, events,
rehearsals and various other cultural training programs. This new
culture center will symbolize the cultural and arts renaissance
presently occurring throughout the city while also preserving the
architectural legacy of Istanbul.
GAD’s design preserves and restores the historic shell of the
existing building; the shell is typical of the facades along the famous
Istiklal Caddesi. The building core is completely removed to express an
empty void. In a clever move, GAD inserts a contrasting contemporary
‘box’ within the core. The ‘box’ is designed using a lightweight steel
Diagrid frame system along its perimeter. This strategy allows for floor
plans to be open and offers programmatic flexibility between all the
floors. The inserted ‘box’ seems to almost defy gravity as it plays off
and is framed by the historic masonry shell. The architectural symbiosis
of the two contrasting construction methods and materials activates a
playful tension between past and present.
