A SOCIAL INFORMATION CISTERN FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
The demands for highest security facilities and inclusive social programs required a dialogue of two contrasting interlocking buildings – one of light + glass and one of mass + concrete. Taking advantage of the subtle terrain, the high-security building’s mass is nestled into the landscape for both security and thermal value to temper the high energy loads of the server room. The lighter social building volume is a composition of insulated spandrel glass and colored glass creating a pixilated image of the Istanbul Technical University’s urban Congress Valley Campus. The glass structure reaches out to the campus as a cubical lantern to promote multi-disciplinary social interactions. The tail of the space penetrates deep into the core of the high-security volume and mitigates between the zoned high security data center/operations and mid-security administration/academic programs.
