EXPO 2016 Antalya Expo Tower

The structure symbolizes Expos' legacy of leaving a lasting urban identity.

Since 1851, Expos have shaped city identities and demonstrated technological prowess. Iconic structures like the Crystal Palace, Eiffel Tower, and Atomium have endured through time. This raises questions about the future of the Antalya Expo Tower;

- Should it aim for longevity like these historic structures?

- What message about our stewardship of nature should it convey?

- How can we develop a design language that respects and is guided by ecological principles?

These inquiries inform the ongoing design proposal, with the goal of creating a system that evolves alongside nature. The Expo Tower features observation terraces that enhance user experience and provide dynamic views of the Expo area.
