The design brief combines three distinct functions on a massive scale in Ümraniye Istanbul. Silicis is a 150,000m2 mixed-use building combining work, living and shopping. The design strategy brings these functions together in a nature-like formation. The inside has a topography that is open to surprises and variation. The outside bears sharp edges to create an explicit interaction between the urban setting and the building.
