MEDI-XSPACE-Harun Konak
In our Kahramanmaraş project, the media center design was my main goal. I focused on a design that would inform people and introduce them to common activities. Considering the functioning of the existing NFK cultural center and its current problems was among my design goals. I created a design that would appeal to all age groups in terms of media and made a design that included media shows, education studios, libraries, common work areas and alternatives that would increase the activation people encounter. The main goals of my design were to take pedestrian movements into account and design a design that would include people in the system where they meet their needs within the space. I made my design by considering the design and requirements of the third space where people are completely in contact with the media and the environment when they are in this system, where they can get away from the busy flow of the city and get used to it. In the design decisions, instead of the dome icon engraved in the memory of the city, I designed the media center icon at the entrance and at the main points of the project. While preserving the facades of the cultural center, the design was also applied to the facades of the new structure in the same parallel. I established a connection between the upper masses with the stairs and platform I created on the main pedestrian axis of the project, and my main goals were to see the connections between the viewing terraces and the project buildings and to include every person in the area in the working system. I created amphitheater stairs and open viewing walls in the basement by using the elevation differences in the area, and I also created a media museum to convey the history and development of Kahramanmaraş.
