Forum Trabzon Shopping Centre, Trabzon

Unique shopping centre adds a new dimension to the retail market in Trabzon

Forum Trabzon Shopping Centre adds a new dimension to the retail market in Trabzon, a burgeoning city in north-east Turkey. Our engineering and architectural expertise helped to make it a reality.

Engineering and architectural services

Arup provided structuralmechanical and electrical as well as civil and infrastructure engineering design for the project, which has a total area of 49,200m2. We also provided architectural services including support to the lead architect during the design, tender and construction period and site assistance.

With an easily accessible waterfront location, the centre attracts visitors from neighbouring towns and cities to its hypermarket, fashion stores, department stores, electronic store and a sports store. Meanwhile the spectacular landscape of the public area hosts festivities, concerts, markets and sport events.

Lighthouse illumination

Equally spectacular is the rotating lighthouse illumination effect visible inside the mall and though the skylights in the food court. The lighting system is designed to produce a realistic lighthouse effect for visitors without misguiding planes and ships. 

Large skylights allow daylight inside the mall areas, enabling the visitors to see the sky and reducing the energy used for lighting.
