CONCEPT

Mimar Sinan is an architect ahead og the times not only with his architecture but also with the way he performed the architecture. According to Sinan, architecture is not only designing the building but also experiencing it on site and being involved in the design process with all its stages. For this reason, the idea that forms the main artery of the design, an architectural center forming the core in the centre, a museum organized around this architectural centre and the public spaces which feed it are considered. In this way, both the users of the architectural centre nad the visitors of the museum will have the opportunity to experience the current architectural works in the visual continuity provided by the atrium and public spaces. In order to bring the idea of integrity to the forefront of the building, volume containing all the units. The museum exhibition areas, workshops and working areas of the architectural centre are gathered under a shell. The building is rotated to be paralled to the museum entrance, fairground and culture road axis. Access is provided from the minus level of the building with the axis coming from this direction. The atrium, located at the minus level, provides natural light throughout the entire building while creating a holistic visuality by combaning with the design of the amphi atrium located at the entrance. The use of light was given importance in the design of the museum. The building itself is actually like a museum. The integration of the architecture centre and the museum provides visitors with the opportunity to understand and experience Sinan at all times The structure never actually separates the units from each other. It is to understand Sinan in Sinan. As the city is the collective memory of the people, it is said that the city is also associated with the memories of objects and places. In other words; the city, taken as a whole is a colection that contains many spatial and objective elements. "Connection" and "Permability" come to mind as two of the most important themes that will ensure the integration of elements with each other. In every environment where there is environmental awarness, an isolation that will provide concentration inside the building, as well as a setup that will integrate with the outside gains importance.​
