Karabük University Steel Research Institute

Karabük Steel Research Institute will realize its future research in a structure designed to highlight the properties of steel as a material.

The Steel Research Institute aims to redefine the known and unknown advantages of steel materials through an intelligent structure and design.

Steel provides architecture with strong and versatile opportunities both structurally and statically.

By utilizing these structural properties, it is possible to enhance the living quality of an architectural structure.

The lightweight nature of steel and the originality of its structural design allow the advantages of using steel in a building to be showcased.

Steel profiles, in addition to offering easy assembly with a bolted system, require designs that emphasize their reusable and adjustable features.

Steel can always meet the needs of spaces with variable dimensions.

It allows for prefabricated production and assembly of volumes, as well as enabling movement within the structure. It can easily accommodate large spans and cantilevers.

As a research institute, it can be equipped with details and structures capable of adapting to various spatial dimensions that may be needed over time. Structurally, steel can transfer more load with less weight compared to other materials and can withstand compressive and tensile forces.

In terms of structure, compared to solid constructions, it reduces the overall weight of the building and leaves space within the gaps between the structural elements for climatic comfort and energy-efficient technological solutions.

Steel is the fundamental material of sustainable architecture. It allows the land we take from nature to be returned when needs change.

Architectural designs that utilize the reusability of steel in different places and times will do justice to its potential as a material.
