Abdullah Gül Presidential Museum and Library
Powerplant to presidential library
A transformative journey
Turkey has lived through great changes since the mid-20th century. This authoritative presidential museum and library, named after the country’s 11th President, holds visitors’ hands on a journey through a nation’s transformation. Three floors of galleries with over 1,500 square metres of displays tell a story of solidarity and human connection within a welcoming urban hub. The highest production standards were needed to support this important narrative. We produced and installed all displays, working across design development, prototyping, graphic production and installation, with one-to-one test set ups and mock-ups ensuring exceptional results.
Re-imagining an icon
The 1933 Sumerbank Textile Factory is known as a modern monument. As one of Turkey’s most significant symbols of the modern world and industry, it is a fitting home for the story of the country’s journey through the late-20th and early-21st centuries. Our production process was sensitive to this modern architectural icon. We obtained all necessary approvals and fabricated installations to integrate with and enhance the building’s original features. The site was opened by President Recep Erdoğan to critical acclaim.
