Emek Business Center is a 22 storey highrise building in Kızılay Square, Ankara, Turkey. Inspired by the Lever House building in New York City, it was designed in 1959 as one of the first International Style highrise buildings in Turkey.〔(Emporis: Emek Business Center )〕 At the time of its completion in 1965, it was the tallest building in Ankara.〔 == Construction == The building was commissioned by the ''Emekli Sandığı'' (Pension Fund, abbreviated as ''Emek'') bound to the Social Security Administration of Turkey, and was built between 1959 and 1965 as a revenue generating property.〔(Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers: Kızılay Emek Business Center (1959–1965) )〕 The architects were Enver Tokay and İlhan Tayman, and the statics engineer was Yusuf Berdan.〔 It was one of the first International Style highrise buildings in Turkey, and the first with a glass curtain wall facade.〔 Its design was primarily inspired by the Lever House (1952) building, blended with some of the facade characteristics of the United Nations Secretariat Building (1952) in New York City.〔 The ground floor and the first two floors were designed as a shopping center, while the other floors were reserved for offices. The building is situated to the southeast of Kızılay Square, opposite to the Kızılay (Turkish Red Crescent) building, which gives the square its name. Construction works temporarily stopped due to the 1960 coup d'état, which delayed the completion and opening date to 1965. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kızılay Emek Business Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
