"A facade of shimmering steel panels envelops this control centre that Istanbul
studio Bilgin Architects has created in the plains of Karapinar, Turkey, for
one of Europe's largest solar farms.

Named Central Control Building, it is designed by Bilgin Architects to act as a
centralised location from which to monitor and control the expansive field of
3.2 million solar panels.

The solar power station is located in a region of Turkey with a desert-like
climate, rendering it unsuitable for agriculture. Instead, it is being utilised
as a solar farm to capitalise on its exposure to sunlight.

According to Bilgin Architects, Central Control Building is designed as a study
of contrasts, with its shimmering metallic facade intended to juxtapose the
textures of its arid surroundings."
