Istanbul Modern Museum

Istanbul Modern, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, presents a harmonious blend of art and architecture. The transparent ground floor offers stunning views of the waterfront promenade and houses various public spaces, enhancing the visitor experience. Integral to this design is our SunGuard® SN 70/37 coated glass, which helps bring natural light transmission while providing energy efficiency, solar protection, and thermal insulation. As visitors ascend the grand staircase, Olafur Eliasson's geometric spheres interact with the transparency of our glass, creating an interplay of light and illusion that complements Piano's architectural vision. Our glass serves as a medium through which art and architecture come together, offering a bright atmosphere for visitors.
