This project is the potential answer to this

One day in Medieval Underground Museum

This is a museum showing the history and culture of medieval Turkish underground tunnel system. Visitors need to shuttle through the intricate ventilation pipes to find the entrance of the underground museum, and then dress up as people living underground in the Middle Ages in the form of cosplay for immersive experience.

Underearth "Havada"

Burrowed away for centuries, the Cappadocians have taken to mastering the skies with their renascent vessels, naming all there is under the celestial dome as their own. They were underground but they were endowed with an unparalleled abundance of space. Havada turns this wealth into the reversed museum citadel. They are still underearth, still afloat.

The design establishes a museum in the city of Kayseri with what it learned from the underground cities. It emphasizes that underground life is tunnel-based. It adds meaning to the design, which will be located on the city periphery, by adding public qualities. It also draws attention to the natural stone mines, which are the true face of the city of Kayseri

Museum of Experiences

This museum was designed for people to experience and empathise how people used to live underground. With this motive the design uses two techniques to create a space, one being the traditional digging and the other being the covering with the movement of the ground. It builds an image inspired by the 'Peri Bacaları'.

Walls of various formations played a role in the different levels of light of the spaces and the formation of spatial influence.

Underearth

The purpose of the museum is an aquarium where various fish and sea creatures are exhibited. We designed a two-person structure.

With the development of different tectonics of the idea of a ground, the museum was tried to be solved between two ramps. The material that makes up the floor is differentiated, and these structural elements are sometimes used as seating, etc. Museum programs h

VISION OF FUTURE

We started our studies by transferring what we learned from Cappadocia to our own museum process, by examining the life style in Cappadocia, what the underground world brought, and the formation of the architectural order in the complex structuring in Cappadocia.
