Istanbul Landmark of Istanbul Comes to Life with Şişecam

Istanbul TV and Radio Tower is one of the reference projects brought to life with the innovative products of Şişecam Flat Glass. The company's Tinted Float Glass Grey and Laminated Low-E Glass provide low reflectance, effective heat and solar control, safety, security and noise control in order to meet the different needs of the project.

Architect Melike Altınışık describes the project and the use of glass in the project as follows: “The art of natural lighting allows the designer to use light as a design material in the design process, as well as shaping the space and designing extraordinary spaces.”

The light creates a transition between mysterious shadows and sharp colours in the futuristic design of Istanbul TV and Radio Tower rising 369m.

Balanced design established by the trio of light, curved surfaces and mysterious shadows, the function of the architectural form and the space it borders, creates visual integrity in accordance with the character of the design.

“Panorama Elevators” rising on both sides of the tower are architectural elements that both feed and divide the monolithic body.

Visitors have the opportunity to watch Istanbul from the observation floors and restaurant floors about 400m above sea level, while experiencing a vertical journey that extends 180m.

The grey tinted glass forms a threshold between the exterior and the interior, while providing optimal thermal conditions for the passengers.
