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.
