Design Topic: “MUSEUM(+)”
Design Topic of “MUSEUM(+)” aims to propose a design solution in city center of Kahramanmaraş, to increase the interaction between built-environment, socio-cultural spaces, city halls, historical places, etc., with society. To develop a design solution for a main urban hub for Kahramanmaraş as a connection, reflection and interaction space, students are expected to develop a design solution to transform old center of Kahramanmaraş into a main interaction hub of the city.
