The municipality building is conceived not only as a center for civic administration but more importantly as a center for recreation and renewal. By creating spaces as extension of the nature, Manisa municipality building aims to be a part of the daily life of the people of Manisa.

The design prioritizes the multiplicity of the functions of a municipality building by decentralizing in a multiple massing scheme that can operate independent from each other while creating a unified synergic complex system when need be. This allows a smaller and human scale approach to building which is sympathetic to the urban texture of Manisa and the design intent to unify with nature.
