"Occupying the space between two existing buildings, openness, lightness and continuity of nature throughout the site form key considerations in the design." "The hybrid space aims to enrich the university environment while introducing students to the more practical world of work," explained the studio. Depending on the natural ventilation strategy, natural ventilation provides clear air flows throughout the interior spaces. The units are connected with skylight gardens, which are described as "outdoor rooms", while the use of planting brings green inside the building. Thanks to open-air fingers in the building, the interior spaces produce their own internal ventilation and thermally-comfortable workspace, that is, weather-dependent, can be used as informal meeting zones or discussion areas. "The project aims to develop a better office environment that prioritises hygiene and safe areas for individual and group working." "Evolving during the global coronavirus pandemic, Ecotone proposes a new exemplar for pandemic resistant and sustainable office architecture, with the integration of outside areas, planting and protected yet fluid office zones," added the office. The new office complex is situated between two buildings, the textile academy and a teaching block and the new offices' programme will encompass education, flexible co-working space, and meeting areas.Ĭonceived as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, the complex is enhanced as a flexible working and learning as a bridge between education and industry. The 1,830-square-metre office complex is planned to be built on the Yıldız Teknopark campus, a campus of Yıldız Technical University dedicated to sparking innovation and technological development. "Ecotone, in geographical terms a region of transition between two biological communities, gives its name to this project, relating both to the condition of the site and the programme of the spaces," said Salon Alper Derinbogaz. The offices feature fluid office spaces with slender columns ensuring physical-distancing measures.
