in the world: an air circulation system ventilates

creates an invisible \"thermostatic shield\",

making it possible for visitors to enjoy open-air

shopping regardless of seasons.

Daring and outstanding form of the complex

is supported by the use of natural stones

and special building materials. Light earth-

tone stone and painted copper metal belts

are the main constituents of the façade.

The architectural design aims to engage the

natural light and cityscape inside the building

provided. In terms of functions, Kanyon is a

hybrid complex, which adds modern values to

the city life, sets new trends and grants a city

square and a green, active pedestrian zone in

the heart of the city.

the complex continues the urban pattern from

the 1950's, a pedestrian street cuts through the

site and divides one solo retailer from the large

department store. The little black is a contrast

to the grand evening dress.

The complex is erected on top of the subway

tracks, a site that did not exist when the project

started. The main entrance is thereby facing

the main access road, and the cutting edge
