Tectonic museum

The concept of the building is made in the form of flowing lava, for a harmonious fit under the mountainous terrain. The fusion of the glazed observation deck and the roof of the underground floor, which looks like a rupture of tectonic plates, conveys harmony and at the same time chaos, while resembling the natural environment.

Tectonic museum. Hal

Volcanoes are large-scale natural phenomena, bringing both terrible destruction and new life. But is it really that simple. If you go a little deeper, you can learn a lot about ourselves and the universe.

Tectonic Design Contest for a Volcano Museum

The museum highlights the importance of Mount Ararat through contrast, holographic exposition and a sightseeing route hidden in the interior of the earth. The building allows you to recreate the raw, primal sensations in a safe interior. The form was shaped by mountain contours, local Kurdish tents, a constellation called Noah's Dove and oriental mandalas.

Intersections

“Intersections” is a celebration of volcanoes through Mount Ararat as a cultural monument. The project draws upon Noah’s Ark – an integral part of Mount Ararat’s cultural significance as an inspiration. The narrative follows the destruction and hell wrought onto the world through flooding by divine punishment which Noah is delivered for his virtue.

Volcano Museum

The project Volcano Museum will depict a social space that will take back the visitors into the past as well as the present and future of volcanoes. The design is highly inspired from the form of a volcano, its plan, its section, and the overall explosive and dynamic appearance.
