the last decades to design large monolithic volumes, Beyaz Atölye instead
concentrated on the human scale of the building and its organization of
volumes and materials. Beyaz Atölye’s design proposed not an individual
building but rather a building complex between human and urban scale
that won the 3rd Honorable Mention in this competition. Furthermore in
advancing their ideas on humane scale and public space, the architects
proposed a large scale application of Travertine cladding creating a link to
the architecture of the antique cities in the region to partly focus the design
on a modern adaptation of the vernacular Mediterranean architecture.
Beyaz Atölye is a young practice established by Mehmet Can Günay, İsmail
Cem Özen and Selim Tabak in 2005 later joined by Seçil Yavuz and Çiğdem
Tabak as partners. They have like many of their young peers in Istanbul
been engaged in a range of competitions and design services from product
to urban scales while also performing activities in project management
and construction. Beyaz Atölye is also known for their attention to material
including the application of natural stone surfaces in projects such as Feriloft
Residences Social Center Interior Design Project, Feriköy, İstanbul, 2011, and
Ören Mountain House, Ören, Muğla, 2010.
For Beyaz Atölye’s project proposal for Gazipaşa, their effort was to balance
material and spatial features with the need for usable public space in this
hot Mediterranean location. Gazipaşa in Antalya province with a population
of 47,000 is located on the border with the adjacent province of Mersin and
has traditionally had an agricultural economy focusing on fruits such as
oranges. In 1989 the city was declared as a tourism development area that
led to an increase in urban development and other real estate investments.
