Ankara Control Center
Ankara / Turkey , 2018
Ankara Control Center is located in the east side of the current Emirler Train Station in Etimesgut district of Ankara. Ankara Control Center, proposed with a linear volume and quite compact architectural language, is designed for an office building for managing all high-speed rail lines of Turkey. The mandatory program functions of the building divide the mass with the main circulation axis inside the interior and arranges the entire program on the North and South front facades.
Ankara Control Center has a total of 2 floors with basement floor and intermediate floors. Main units such as camera observation hall, scada main manager and control room are analyzed as free plans. The architectural language of the building is balanced with the vertical openings and the floor gardens in order to relieve the very compact form of the building and create its own rhythm.
