Within the scope of this project, an “Education and Production Campus” has been designed to educate future architects while actively involving citizens in the production process, thereby blending theoretical education with practical application. The project site is located in the Sahabiye district, one of the most dynamic zones of Kayseri currently undergoing urban regeneration, characterized by high pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Thanks to this strategic positioning, the project offers a vast green area with high public integration, accessible not only to students but also to the local community. This recreational zone will function as an open-air laboratory where students can test and experience the small-scale structures and urban furniture they design in the future. The ongoing urban regeneration in the area provides an unparalleled practical arena for students to transform their academic projects into reality at the neighborhood scale. 

The architectural program consists of two main blocks that establish a functional division of labor. The larger volume, positioned on the north facade, houses the classrooms where students receive theoretical education and the design studios where they build small-scale models. The other volume on the south facade, which features a relatively more compact morphology, is dedicated to the large-scale workshops that form the core production backbone of the project. This block accommodates the Metalworking and Welding, Woodworking and Carpentry, Sustainable Ecological Materials, Interior Furnishing and Textile, and Digital Fabrication and Prototyping workshops. Operating under a flexible management model, these workshops are open to students on specific days of the week and to the local public on others, aiming to diffuse the culture of “learning by doing” into society. 

The exhibition space, positioned on the facade facing the busiest street, displays student productions to the public, strengthening the project’s dialogue with the city and transforming the site into a center of attraction. The fluid ovalities and formal slopes preferred at the corner geometries of both volumes create a complementary morphological language. This formal expression creates a dynamic social interface that invites users into the site, guides circulation, and draws people in within the urban fabric.
