About Discussions Projects59 Journals85 Publications40

Architectural heritage involves working with existing structures, cultural landscapes, and historical narratives to create meaningful interventions. Designers in this space balance conservation with contemporary use, ensuring that heritage sites remain relevant to current communities while maintaining their cultural significance.

The community explores adaptive reuse projects, cultural centers that embed local memory and tradition, archaeological site interventions, and strategies for preserving intangible heritage through built form. Work ranges from castle revitalization and vernacular architecture documentation to centers dedicated to safeguarding indigenous knowledge and regional cultural practices.

Revitalization of Ankara Castle

The project gently evolved by taking references from the natural sloped landscape laying under the grand fortification walls of Ankara Castle, where the collective memory lives for centuries. The building itself became an experience that evokes the memory of the historical layers, the local people; and praises the grandness of walls by revitalizing Ankara.

Shirakawa-Go Culture and Conservation Center 2022

Beyond the first shade of the site exits a far richer dynamic -of people living as family across a neighborhood. The preservation of this UNESCO site was only possible because of the bond between the villagers. My take is to present the unity and pride of Shirakawa Go while paying homage to its culture. This project doesn't exist without its people

The Non-Memorial

This project aims to transcend traumatic memory imposed in the physical monumental space, by creating a space for social reconciliation through storytelling. Embracing the scars of war and subtly subverting these memories of war into beams of hope.
