A space beyond time…
Derived from Latin, Aevum signifies “eternity” or “a timeless age,” encapsulating the essence of continuity and adaptability. This name perfectly reflects the duality of the project, which harmoniously balances permanence and transformation.
Aevum is not merely a building; it is a manifesto of balance, adaptability, and timelessness, offering a space that evolves with life itself.
The concrete base, with its solid and enduring nature, symbolizes permanence and connection to the historical and cultural layers of Istanbul. It anchors the project, serving as a timeless foundation rooted in the city’s rich past.
The lightweight steel structure above is designed to adapt and transform. Its modular, demountable nature speaks to the ever-changing needs of contemporary life, embodying the spirit of openness and flexibility.
