National Competition for Balıkesir Municipality Building

*3rd Prize

Balıkesir Municipality Building is located at northern hills at the end of the city border. The new zoning plan is extending city border to the northern hills of Balıkesir. In the zoning plan, the north side of the plot is opened to high-rise housing on a scale that the city has not seen before, while the south side is subject to low-rise and sparse construction in the new development plan.  Balıkesir Municipal Building is the landmark of this scale change, that divides the urban fabric into two as part of this development plan.
