Adaptive Reuse in Istanbul - SantralIstanbul

I was chatting with Computer History Museum Registrar Allison Akbay, at her going away celebration about her recent trip to Istanbul (her husband is Turkish, so they visit there).  She told me about an interesting adaptive reuse project for an early coal fired power plant that has been transformed into an energy museum.  This is part of a much larger adaptive reuse project that includes the relocation of Bilgi University to the site. Dunno when I'll get to that part of the world, but if anybody is traveling there, sounds worth a stop. (She said it's "an adventure" to get there on public transit. The site is so new it doesn't show up on most maps.)
