The Main Entrance Gate of Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University
The Main Entrance Gate of Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University, which was designed by Architect Dr Arzu GÜNCÜ and Dr Lecturer of Visual Arts Orhan TAŞKESEN, and whose static project was drawn by construction engineer Murat DEMİR, was built by ATA Yapı Tic. A.Ş. under the patronage of Rector Prof. Dr İlyas ÇAPOĞLU in 2012.
Depending on our university’s ideal as “A Global University in Anatolia” in a structure built on a universal expression of local and historical values, geometrically designed "Crown Door", one of the architectural elements of Seljuk madrasas, which constituted the first example of university campuses with the "Double-Headed Eagle" motif representing the vastness, eternity, wisdom, intelligence, farsightedness, power, strength and dominance in the Turkish life and belief system, was taken as the basis.
The Crown Door, integrated with a modernised double-headed eagle figure, and the structure consisting of two broken surfaces with hexagonal motifs symbolises the "Double-Headed Eagle" with open wings from the front and expresses the "Rise from Local to Universal". The view of the structure from the top represents the “Rahle” which is among the works of Turkish-Islamic Art, expressing the journey to science.
The reflection of these symbolic values into the form with modern language and the production technology of our era in the structure completed with a plain sphere placed on a base in the form of a dip pen, independent of the main structure symbolises the contemporary identity of our university that takes its power from the historical values.
