Located in the Maraş, the Nature Sports Experience Center is an innovative hub where nature, technology, and human energy converge. Designed to simulate the thrill and challenge of outdoor sports within an accessible urban setting, the center brings together a wide spectrum of activities—from canoeing and skiing to ziplining and mountain climbing—offering safe, interactive environments that evoke the excitement of the wild. This pioneering project uses advanced simulation technologies and custom-built artificial terrains to create immersive sport experiences for visitors of all ages and skill levels. At the core of the center’s identity is movement and connection—between people, their bodies, and their environment. The architectural design reflects this spirit: kinetic walls respond to human presence, shifting, lighting up, or moving to invite interaction and curiosity. These dynamic surfaces become part of the experience, guiding participants through the space in ways that are playful, intuitive, and engaging. Open terraces and elevated courtyards provide quiet pockets for rest and observation, linking interior activity areas to the surrounding landscape and city skyline. Here, spectators, families, or resting athletes can connect with nature and community, even in moments of stillness. More than a sports facility, the center functions as a social and educational platform—hosting interactive workshops, school programs, and regional competitions. Its mission is not only to promote physical activity but also to instill a deeper respect for nature and outdoor culture. From the perspective of a student, a day at the center might begin with a group climbing session on the indoor cliff, where every hold feels like part of a real mountain face. After class, there’s time to hang out on the sun-drenched terrace, watching others zipline past while chatting with friends. Later, a kinetic wall lights up nearby, inviting a spontaneous game or movement challenge. It feels like being part of a living playground where learning, adventure, and community pulse through every corner.
