Izmir. The sunny gate of Ancient Anatolian Geography that opens to the world from the Aegean shores. Under this sun, it is an agricultural production center that has been symbolized for centuries with products such as figs, grapes, olives and tobacco, fed from a fertile background. An industrial culture that has preserved its vitality throughout the city's history, thanks to a highly educated, qualified workforce with high interaction with the world. Thanks to its tourism, natural resources, cuisine, polyphonic and multicultural life tradition, it offers an embracing, inviting living space… And the city of ports that connects all these production and cultural values ​​to the world.

In this city, which draws its strength from its history and claims to shape the future with this power, İZTO stands out with a special mission as an organization that is competent to bring these forces together in line with common goals and a vision that will lead the era. The Izmir Innovation Center Project is a project that emphasizes the important qualities of Izmir, sets new goals based on these, but also aims to pave the way for the development of age-specific values ​​such as innovation that need improvement in Izmir.

It is aimed that the architectural solutions of the building that will lead this visionary project are also innovative and sustainable. It is aimed to get maximum sunlight into the structure located on the east-west axis. By removing the existing reinforced concrete sunshades; Glass vertical sunshades are designed that are lighter and more mobile and will also cut the east and west light. On both facades, 'light shelves' have been placed to allow daylight to be brought into office spaces. Currently, the upper surfaces of the ventilation ducts are covered with reflective materials and transformed into a light shelf. The vents are opened from the upper floor of Fablab, which was solved on the basement floor, allowing daylight to reach the basement floor. The elements on the ceiling of the existing gallery space have been reinterpreted and their diameters and lengths have been increased. In order to transmit the daylight coming from the gallery space to the lower floors at maximum, it is envisaged to be manufactured from materials with reflective surfaces such as mirrors and glass.
