The Court of Knowledge (Light)
\nThis New Academic Building and its related courtyards are designed to be a befitting architectural terminus to the sequence of interconnected buildings and courtyards that start from the main entrance portal to the Ko\u00e7 University academic campus, \u201cThe Portal of Knowledge (Light)\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Portal of Knowledge\u201d which leads to the Ko\u00e7 Meydan and then to the sequence of the Business, Humanities, Science, and Engineering courtyards, with the addition of this New Academic Building, will terminate in the \u201cCourt of Knowledge (Light)\u201d . It is called the \u201ccourt of knowledge\u201d because the interconnected New Building surrounding it houses all the scientific disciplines of the University.<\/p>\n
The central feature of this courtyard is a Skylight\/ Pool over the largest Engineering laboratory of the Campus, putting on display, for the students, faculty and visitors, the content and activities of the laboratory below as well as the technological precision of the illuminated Pool\/Skylight and nature above.
\nMemory Walk: This courtyard with its illuminated Skylight\/Pool symbolizing Life (water), Light (knowledge and technology) is also a befitting terminus to the \u201cmemory walk\u201d of the campus which spans from the Ko\u00e7 Meydan to the Engineering Courtyard. Walking along the path, one observes the cultural history of Turkey by viewing a collection of museum pieces starting with a display of objects from antiquity in the Humanities Courtyard to industrial examples of sophisticated machinery in the Engineering Courtyard.<\/p>\n
In this last courtyard, the \u201cCourt of Knowledge,\u201d the main display is the design of the court and its Skylight\/Pool symbolizing the technological contribution of the Ko\u00e7 University itself to the history and culture of Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
