English: The Zorlu Center is at the junction of the Bosphorus Bridge European connection and the
Büyükdere axis that connects the city center with the business district Maslak. With its easy
access from important centers of Istanbul, it is also one of the few sites that face south,
with the old city view making it a ‘subject of desire’ and was owned by the Zorlu Property
through a tender, being curiously watched by the public. The mixed use project being
developed on this area deals with contradictions such as grandeur and modesty, public and
private, institutional and domestic, social and distinguished, together with structural and
topographical considerations.
