Projects Structures 7: Transportation Structures

Transportation Structures, the seventh book in the Projects/Structures series, features structures and projects designed for air, road, and sea transportation by prominent architects from Turkey and around the world.

The book introduces 26 transportation structure designs carried out by 17 architects/architectural groups in 24 different locations worldwide, including Turkey, over the past few years, presented under three chapters: Airports, Bus Terminals, and Train, Metro, and Cable Car Stations.

The projects published in the book undoubtedly do not claim to be the best works of their authors. Transportation Structures offers selected examples of transportation structures that incorporate features such as speed, multi-purpose use, and comfort, which are required by today's people who travel much more than in previous periods due to the economic, political, and economic opportunities that emerged after globalization.

Projects consisting of successful examples in terms of building typology, the use of modern and traditional building materials, modern construction techniques, adaptation to topography, architectural and urban fabric, repurposing, etc., are presented with specially taken color photographs, site and floor plans, sections, elevations, and axonometric drawings, as well as descriptive texts explaining the projects.

 The book Transportation Structures is not only a reference book for architects, interior designers, urban planners, urban designers, landscape architects, and civil engineers, but also a valuable resource for all architecture, interior architecture, and design students to examine these special projects selected from Turkey and around the world and utilize them in their own design work.
