![]() ![]() The design of the facade is a distinguished element that makes up the identity of the building, while ensuring meticulous energy saving. The program of the centre consists of foyer, offices, meeting room, exhibition room, cafe, multi-purpose hall, storage-technical room, and courtyard. The façade of the single-storey building is formed by 7,200 stainless steel panels in four different transparency levels. The silhouette on the horizon continues on the facades," the office said. "Thanks to the high reflectance levels of the facades, the building becomes integrated with the geography it inhabits. When viewed from the ground, it almost completes the horizon line. The facades of the building do not remain just an architectural element, they become a part of the ground and even the sky. "This interface, an extension of the 3.2 million solar panels in the region, is positioned 40 meters away from the existing solar panels and in the same direction, in an area that will not cast shadows on the panels."Īccording to the studio, the facades of the building are designed not only as an architectural element but also as a part of the earth and even the sky. "In the challenging geography of a desert, an interface representing new energy technologies in a flat topography extending to the horizon," said Bilgin Architects. Rather than creating a building infrastructure, Bilgin Architects imagined the structure as an interface representing sustainable energy technologies. Installed by Turkish company Kalyon Energy, the company has established a 1,350 MWp solar power plant in this region, which was intended "to be the largest solar energy power plant in Europe." The operation of the plant is managed through the Central Control Building. The Central Control Building is situated a 20-square-kilometer area in this region.Īccording to the studio, this region was determined as an energy specialization area because it has become unsuitable for agriculture but has a significant energy potential due to its desert climate. The centre is located in Karapınar, the region is known with its desert climate in Turkey. The control centre aims to function as "a technological infrastructure for controlling the 1,350 MWp solar power plant in the region, while becoming a state-of-art interface." Named Central Control Building, the 2,778-square-metre building was designed by Istanbul-based architecture practice Bilgin Architects. A square-shaped control centre has been clad in shimmering steel panels to act as an interface of a solar power plant in Karapınar, Konya, Turkey.
