The “flagship” in Mr. Aydın Doğan’s words. Set around the entrance at its center and the inner courtyards flanking the vertical connections, the building appears as a closed mass offering no clues about what may be inside. Yet the areas of use set around the courtyards contain spaces that can see one another and are illuminated at every point by daylight. Although it seems so closed-off from the outside, it is almost like a glass palace inside. The transparent, graceful, and slightly underground areas of use are also bathed in light.
