A sports complex proposal for Istanbul: an arched glass roof, steel struts raking out from the facade and an arena seen from the foyer through a wall of glass.

The arena's arched glass roof covers the whole volume in a single gesture; steel struts raking out from the facade carry it and give the building its character. A glazed, timber-lined foyer marks the entrance, and a glass screen between foyer and arena makes the game visible from outside. Inside, steel trusses span the hall without columns, and blue stands wrap the court on three sides.
