This project represents an innovative Art & Craft Hub design that combines recycling and technology to support sustainable art and craft production. Integrated into the historical and educational context of Kayseri Merkez Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, this center aims to reprocess waste materials such as plastic, metal and wood into artistic and functional products.
The structure was designed with a modern architectural approach that prioritizes user experience and spatial hierarchy. Recycling workshops are positioned as primary functional areas where waste is collected and recycled. These areas are connected to production laboratories equipped with advanced technologies such as 3D printing, CNC and laser cutting.
The functional areas include social areas that educate and inspire the user, such as a multi-purpose hall, exhibition areas, a library and a 500-person auditorium. The center aims to increase community participation, promote education and contribute to environmental sustainability. This design, in which recycled materials add both structural and aesthetic value, creates a strong bond that brings the past and the future together.
