FABRIC-A / Hüseyin Karamercan
“FABRIC-A” is a proposed Social Innovation Hub located in Kahramanmaraş. The project aims to bring together different segments of society to enhance social solidarity, production, and interaction.
The design emphasizes historical continuity by preserving the surviving structural columns of the existing building. The collapsed columns are reinterpreted into a new spatial configuration, defining areas for production and interaction. This approach merges the old with the new, memory with transformation, creating a resilient and flexible spatial system.
The program includes a recycling facility, production workshops, a multi-purpose hall, library, public terraces, open-air gathering areas, a café, and social interaction spaces. Organized through a modular axis system, the layout ensures permeability and flexibility for both indoor and outdoor use.
User scenarios describe in detail how different user profiles—such as students, women producers, entrepreneurs, and visitors—engage with the space. These narratives, supported by diagrams and perspective visuals, highlight the project’s functional diversity and social inclusivity.
The “FABRIC-A” project is a visionary social center proposal that addresses not only the physical reconstruction but also the social healing process of a city like Kahramanmaraş, which is undergoing post-disaster redevelopment
