The design focused on the Nemrut Volcano engages with the distinctive features of its environment, integrating the built structure within the landscape. Located in Turkey, the project emphasizes fractal geometry, reflecting nature's patterns in its design. The intent is to enhance user experience while respecting the geological landscape, balancing architecture with ecological sensitivity.

Concept and Design Intent

A strong connection between the architecture and the landscape is fundamental to the design. The use of fractal geometry informs the shape and organization of the building, resulting in a pyramidal form that echoes the mountain profiles in the area. This approach creates various viewpoints, allowing visitors to interact with the natural scenery and deepening their connection to the environment.

Construction Methodology

The construction process prioritizes minimal environmental impact. Prefabrication of the structure occurs in a factory setting, which provides greater control over resources and craftsmanship. Once completed, the components are transported to the site for installation. This method ensures that the natural habitat remains undisturbed and adheres to the contours of the land.

User Experience and Functionality

Visitors are welcomed into an inviting environment that promotes interaction with the landscape. Areas designed for rest and contemplation encourage users to spend time within the volcanic surroundings. This focuses on the relationship between people and nature, offering a space that fosters appreciation for the geological features of the Nemrut Volcano.

The form of the structure aligns closely with the surrounding terrain, allowing it to blend with the site. Thoughtful viewpoints are integrated into the design, creating experiences that encourage exploration and connection with the natural beauty found within the Nemrut Volcano's landscape.
