Legacy of Mastery / Melih Başoğlu

The main theme of the Art and Craft Hub project, designed next to Merkez Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, is to raise awareness of the challenges faced in the master-apprentice relationship within heavy and light industry, as well as handicraft protessions, both in the present and future. The aim is to communicate this issue to the public, particularly children, in order to generate demand for these professions and convey that they are not inferior to careers like doctors or engineers, both in terms of preatige and financial stability. In this context, An auditorium for 450 people, mentoring areas for career and consultancy, R&D department, workshops, archive library, common areas for students’ social recreation and a gym have been designed.
