Military Museum and Cultural Center
Istanbul, Turkey

A military academy renovated as a museum, and the addition of a new cultural center. The spatial arangement of the old building was almost entirely preserved, whereas special accentuations were introduced by employing vertical effects created by skylights and two storey galleries. In the entire building no other colour or material can be seen but the grey of the concrete beams, the white of the walls, the beige of the marble floor, and the natural colour of the wood.
