ITU Suleyman Demirel Cultural Center, Cultural center at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
The ITU Suleyman Demirel Cultural Center is a three-story building on Istanbul Technical University's campus with a central atrium designed like an inner street. Different functional areas connect through this open passage, creating fluid movement between spaces.
The building takes its name from Süleyman Demirel, a former Turkish president, and was built to expand the university's academic offerings. Its construction marked a step in developing the campus infrastructure for new purposes.
The center hosts art performances, exhibitions, and academic events that draw people together for conversation and discovery. These activities shape campus life and create spaces where students and visitors naturally gather.
The center is located in the Maslak district on the Ayazağa campus and is accessible via main city roads. Visitors can reach it easily using public transport connections available in the area.
The center blends interior spaces with outdoor areas through flowing transitions that guide visitors through different scenes. This approach transforms the building from a simple event venue into a place where architecture shapes the experience itself.
