Istanbul Modern is the city’s leading modern art museum. The new museum building is located on a prominent location directly adjacent to the Bosporus and will include galleries for the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, library and classroom spaces, a cinema and a restaurant. The building has a customised seismic stability system to withstand large earthquake forces. Building services are exposed, reflecting the industrial nature of the site’s history. The Arup London office worked with Arup Istanbul to support Renzo Piano Building Workshop throughout the design and construction phases.
