It is located at the north end of the academic campus. It is designed so that
it can become an integral part of the architectural weave of the existing
Koç University buildings.
The Court of Knowledge (Light)
This New Academic Building and its related courtyards are designed to be a befitting
architectural terminus to the sequence of interconnected buildings and courtyards that
start from the main entrance portal to the Koç University academic campus, “The
Portal of Knowledge (Light)”
“The Portal of Knowledge” which leads to the Koç Meydan and then to the sequence
of the Business, Humanities, Science, and Engineering courtyards, with the addition of
this New Academic Building, will terminate in the “Court of Knowledge (Light)” . It is
called the “court of knowledge” because the interconnected New Building surrounding
it houses all the scientific disciplines of the University.
The central feature of this courtyard is a Skylight/ Pool over the largest Engineering
laboratory of the Campus, putting on display, for the students, faculty and visitors, the
content and activities of the laboratory below as well as the technological precision of
the illuminated Pool/Skylight and nature above.
Memory Walk:
This courtyard with its illuminated Skylight/Pool symbolizing Life (water), Light
(knowledge and technology) is also a befitting terminus to the “memory walk” of the
campus which spans from the Koç Meydan to the Engineering Courtyard. Walking
along the path, one observes the cultural history of Turkey by viewing a collection of
museum pieces starting with a display of objects from antiquity in the Humanities
Courtyard to industrial examples of sophisticated machinery in the Engineering
Courtyard.
In this last courtyard, the “Court of Knowledge,” the main display is the design of the
court and its Skylight/Pool symbolizing the technological contribution of the Koç
University itself to the history and culture of Turkey.
