Çanakkale Antenna Tower pierces sky in western Turkey

Architects 12-3-2020 Archinect 564

IND [Inter.National.Design] in collaboration with Powerhouse Company have commenced construction on its Çanakkale Antenna Tower based in Çanakkale, Turkey. The structure will function as a broadcast network post as well as a public observation center. Formulated as a cultural landmark, the antenna tower's design includes recreational facilities and a looped path that integrates itself into the surrounding forest, giving visitors an immersive experience on the lower levels and expansive panoramic views on the upper levels.

Already under construction, the red looped antenna pierces the western Turkey sky and will surely plant itself as a destination point for locals and tourists alike. The tower is expected to be completed later this year.
