The new buildings within the Santralistanbul campus are “educational buildings.” Although they are constructed with details derived and developed from the old power plant structures, they do not compete with them and do not resemble them. They are calm, contemporary buildings that rest on the traces of the past. These structures are designed to be flexible enough to accommodate changes over time, except for the decisions that had to be made in advance. They were completed with the decision to build upon the traces of the former makeshift buildings, because the green fabric had formed itself around these buildings and the only way to build without touching that fabric was to follow the traces of the former buildings.
