Following the design of the decorative lighting the architectural concept was developed in which the main theme is the arch, a historic building element which extends through the world and in particular the turkish history of architecture. A complex steel structure was proposed as the tunnel access, not just an entrance portal. The architecture of this access, in a symbolic and functional sense consists of 80 interlocking arches, with different radii and inclination placed in series, whose each developed length reaches 30m with the supports span of 20m.
