Melike Altinisik’s supple design for the Çamlıca TV and Radio Tower reflects her focused interest in natural forms and forces. Altinisik described the design methodology as a computational process that allowed for integrated information gathering, which included the variables of the building’s multi-purpose program, the engineering challenges of a super-tall tower, and its multiple viewpoints within the city and surrounding landscape. The building’s flowing parametric curves suggest the movement of wind, and echo the undulating landscape that shapes Istanbul and the Bosporus.
