Onat ÖKTEM and Ziya İMREN

 have receievd an Honorable Mention in the Middle East Technical University Student Center & Public Square Architectural Competition. They have shared their competition entry with us...

The main concept of the design is to create an in-between condition between a built environment and the landscape. The inner and outer spaces flow into each other in an historical site while creating open, semi open and transparent surfaces.

In addition; instead of creating new axes in the campus, existing main circulation areas are enriched by the green and resting areas by shaping the topography.
