OODA firm from Portugal created a proposal for the ‘Istanbul Disaster Prevention and Education Center’ International Design Competition to implement a facility to protect against and inform of the implications of natural disasters to be located within Istanbul, Turkey.
“For this unique equipment, our proposal approach tries to merge the most efficient program articulation with a strong concept which intends to suggest the overall theme integrated with Istanbul’s context.
On the interior we created a multi-level space experience having the entire required program connected through a central point that simultaneously receives and guides the public to interact with the building.
We also created a progressive cladding concept to the facade that introduces and enhances the Arabic atmosphere while it’s reacting – through density combination and geometrical driven development- to the local environment.”
