LIMITS OF THE PICTURES / Hilal Yazıcı
For Kayseri Castle, I designed a modular system within a plug-in concept, focusing specifically on visual arts. I created a grand and eye-catching entrance to the castle because I wanted it to immediately capture attention and spark curiosity.
My first module is the entrance and information area, where visitors can get an overview of the system and navigate through the experience with ease.
The second module is the paint exploration and discovery area. Here, visitors can interact with various types of paints and materials, engaging directly with colors through hands-on experiences.
The third module has two main parts: the first is a display area where each week, a different artist or painter showcases their work. The second part is a workshop space, where participants can learn, create, and engage in the artistic process themselves.
The fourth module is dedicated to exhibitions. This space hosts rotating or permanent exhibitions and is designed to offer a fluid and immersive artistic journey.
The fifth and final main module is the shopping area, where visitors can purchase art-related products and souvenirs, offering a curated selection tied to the overall theme.
In the back section, I designed three additional modules. The first is a free-painting space, where people can randomly paint surfaces and leave personal marks or memories — it’s spontaneous and expressive. The second is a café area, providing a place for rest and socializing. The third is another shopping module, connected to the one in front, creating a seamless transition between experience and commerce.
With this system, my aim was to blend a historical site with contemporary art, creating a living, evolving space that invites exploration, creativity, and connection.
