In this project, the given title was the Architecture Faculty for the Istanbul Gelisim University. The area is next to Gelisim Tower. It's a sloppy area and it has green areas that we wanted to save. Also, the area's location is important for the connection between Gelisim Tower and human circulation. The area's location is good to be for a bridge between human circulation to Gelisim Tower. On the other hand, it can be also good for students to have areas where they can spend time. So making the connection between Gelisim Tower and Architecture Faculty Building's area. Creating space for them is the best solution to have social area for Gelisim Tower as well.

The building positions were placed considering the suitability of the land and its connection to the Gelişim Tower. Another entrance to the land was provided from the Northeast corner. This entrance is the most convenient point for students arriving by Metrobus. It was thought that this entrance would turn into a street and reach Gelişim Tower at the same time. The level difference was achieved with intermittent stair spaces. A separate street was built for the industrial buildings in the north of the land and isolated from the land. At the entrance of the 86 level, a ramp is also provided next to the stairs. From this street, you can directly pass Gelişim Tower and the Faculty of Architecture. The first thing that welcomes people from this entrance to the Faculty of Architecture is an exhibition space. This exhibition area is located on the lowest floor of the building where the faculty members' rooms are located. This building is located on the 74th level. The most suitable location to enter this land is at 74 levels. With the staircase between this building and the student center building, it descends to the 70th level and the inner garden area is reached. Although the building positions are generally at the 70 levels, the upper-level entrances are at the 74 levels. The inner garden connections are provided from the 70 levels. The common elevations with Gelişim Tower are 74 and 68. Therefore, softened areas are used for the transition from the land to the 74 levels. For example, Auditoruiom's terrace roof is located at 74 levels. Since this is the closest location to Gelişim Tower, it was positioned this way. Gelisim Tower has a separate entrance at 68 elevations, and a separate transition point to the land has been designed from this entrance. Direct access to the inner garden of the land is provided. Since the vehicle entrance to the land was closed and the area between Gelişim Tower and the Faculty of Architecture building was closed to traffic, it was considered to provide a separate entrance. In addition, since the land was previously used as a parking lot, there was a need for parking at the moment. Vehicle entry into the land is provided from the southeast corner of the land at 74 elevations, over Sofu Street. And from here, an indoor car park was built on the 66th level of the basement of the mass where the classrooms and labs are located
