Antalya Kepez Congress and Exhibition Center
Antalya Kepez Congress Center
Designed for the Antalya Kepez Municipality, the building complex serves as a Congress Center and support units, thoughtfully accommodating 2,000 people within a campus characterized by its irregular geometry and majestic wide-trunked trees. Much like a forest where trees are scattered yet interconnected, the layout of this complex reflects a fragmented approach that echoes the natural formations of the site. The ancient trees act as guardians of the design, guiding the placement of the structures and allowing for clustered spatial voids that invite interaction and exploration.

In this harmonious integration with nature, the complex ensures that users experience a gentle transition from the outside world into a space that feels open and welcoming, rather than overwhelmed by structural density. As visitors approach, they are drawn into a setting that fosters connection—not only with each other but also with the surrounding environment.
To enhance user experience, the design elevates heavy program elements to the upper level, reminiscent of the canopies of trees that shelter and protect. Supported by high-capacity vertical circulation elements, these spaces are designed to facilitate movement and interaction, much like branches extending from a sturdy trunk. This layout creates a dynamic environment where the main functional areas, situated above, allow users to engage with their surroundings from a new perspective, while the support spaces at the lower level remain grounded and accessible.
Ultimately, this architectural composition not only reflects the dense green patterns of the trees above but also serves as a reminder of the natural world, creating a nurturing atmosphere where nature and architecture coexist harmoniously.
