Tekirdag City Hospital Iznik Tile Panel

This special Iznik tile panel located in Tekirdag City Hospital is a distinctive surface work that brings together the city’s symbolic buildings and places in a miniature style. Designed by Nasuhi Hasan Colpan and produced by Iznik Mavi Cini, the panel was realized as an artistic application that aims to make cultural memory visible within a heavily used public space such as a hospital.

This miniature Iznik tile panel, produced for Tekirdag City Hospital, is an architectural surface application that aims to make art a natural part of everyday life within a public healthcare building. In the composition, important places and structures that shape Tekirdag’s urban identity are brought together through the narrative language of miniature painting.

The pattern, color, and surface language of traditional Iznik tile art were reinterpreted through a contemporary compositional approach and designed to harmonize with the scale and high-traffic use of the hospital environment. This approach positions Iznik tile not merely as a decorative element, but as a permanent cultural layer that gives identity to the space.

“The most important element in Iznik tile applications within public buildings is the ability of art to establish a natural relationship with spaces of everyday use. This panel was designed to create a sense of visual continuity and calm within the hospital environment.”
— Iznik Mavi Cini, Senior Architectural Projects Production Facility Manager
