iGA has chosen a design by AECOM and Pininfarina as the winner of an international design competition for the regional Air Traffic Control Tower and technical building at the Istanbul New Airport. Unusually, the innovative entry marries influences from the aviation and automotive sectors, with strong architectural design. The tower will be the landmark for Istanbul New Airport, which is set to be the world's largest new airport in terms of annual passenger capacity.
The tower shape is inspired by the tulip, which has been the symbol for Istanbul for centuries and is an important cultural reference in Turkish history.
