An invited competition entry for the design of ASFA College, to be established in Koşuyolu, Istanbul.

The plot is organised around two generous courtyard gardens, with the administrative programme positioned along the Koşuyolu edge to take advantage of the natural slope. Beneath the courtyards, the large-span spaces required by the programme are accommodated at the lower level.
