IBTECH IT Center Headquarters / CM Mimarlık
This project is located in the Gebze/Kocaeli Tübitak MAM (Marmara Research Center) area.

Antalya Kepez Municipality Congress Hall Project Competition Proposal / Hakan Deniz Ozdemir & Cesa Architects
The land between Antalya Bus Station and Çallı Junctions is one of the limited green zones of highly densed Dokuma and Otogar Districts. With the MKE social facilities on its opposite and the estates that are left for middle school and business centers in the new development plan at behind, the site is creating a big green stripe inside urban texture. The famous quote by Frank Lloyd Wright, ‘Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.’ was the major driving force behind the design by Hakan Deniz Ozdemir and Cesa Architects. More images and architects’ description after the break.
