DESIGN NAME: Cendere-Viaduct
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Viaduct
INSPIRATION: A holistic design has been developed beyond traditional methods. The most significant element describing the design is the steel structure that covers the two-storey viaduct. Steel structure is combined with elegant reinforced columns. Viaduct structure is come into prominence at night time by using architectural lighting elements.
Colourful and variable lighting system with dynamic colour transitions has been designed to reflect the city's ever-changing and evolving nature and dynamism.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The 3-Deck Great Istanbul Tunnel Project is one of the largest transport infrastructure project planned to be built in Turkey. The project aims to connect Europe and Asia parts of the city via metro and highway systems. Cendere viaduct is a part of the highway section of the project.Instead of designing and ordinary two-storey viaduct solution, designer developed an modern, innovative and unique landmark design symbolizing Istanbul city, its vibrancy and dynamism.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design of the project is started in Ankara. The project is in the administrative approval stage of the Ankara Directorate General of Infrastructure Investments. The viaduct's location is Istanbul.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The most important part describing design is the steel structure covering the viaduct platforms. Various parametric programs have been used to find most aethetic geometry. Very light steel structure is designed to create minimum impact on structural system and transparent elements can be used in the surfaces to avoid negative effects of wind, rain and noise. Outer steel structure with a dynamic design combined with reinforced columns is integrated as a significant character of project.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Viaduct consist of a two-storey highway. It is 170 meters long. The altitude from the ground is maximum 16 meters. The road width is 7.5 meters.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Project site has been modelled in 3d after site analysies and data collection phases. The model has been created as close to the real site. Structurally a steel and reinforced concrete system has been created. Parametric computer programs are used for steel construction design. A system has been created with electrical engineers for lighting of the project. A project presentation in VR environment has been prepared.
CHALLENGE: Aesthetic design development under structural system, climatic effect and noise prevention restrictions.
