Water-Skiing Operation Building
Gaziantep / Turkey, 2010
he building designed within the scope of the Urban Design Project of the Alleben Pond and Surrounding Areas incorporates two different functions: a sports area and a cafe. These two functions have been separated from each other during the block organization and it is ensured through the use of a street between these two functions that all visitors can come close to the pond and watch the activities.
This also provided the opportunity to close the sports facility under unfavorable weather conditions without making any changes to the cafe section. However, the building could not be brought into service due to the overheads and the reduction in the project program.
