The new Istanbul Modern museum designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop replaces the original museum building at the same location, an old customs warehouse on the Bosphorus waterfront. The design is complemented by furniture from Italian manufacturer Pedrali.
'The new waterfront promenade, previously inaccessible to the public, gives visitors the opportunity to gaze across the water towards the Anatolian side, Princes’ Islands and the Historical Peninsula from this unique viewpoint', Istanbul Modern mentions on their website. The design of the new building was inspired by the glittering waters and light reflections of the Bosphorus. A transparent ground floor strengthens the connection between the waterfront and Tophane Park.
