EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING CENTER AND AWARENESS MUSEUM

Project
Experiential learning center and awareness museum

Location
Bursa, Turkey 

Type
Diploma project (Uludag University)

The site is located in the northern part of the Bursa city, between important buildings such as Buttim Bursa International Textile Trade Centers, Tüyap Bursa Uluslararası Fuar ve Kongre Merkezi and Bimber Bilim Ve Teknoloji Merkezi. The sides of the site are delimited by a main traffic lane (Istanbul Street) and a secondary traffic lane (Fuar Street) where we find the Ibis hotel.

From the urban analysis of the area it results that it is in development but also that it needs more green spaces. My approach was to keep the existing green area on the site. The main building of the museum is built in a minimally invasive form, creating a green urban balcony. Here the visitors can admire the surroundings. The tower that host the library also creates a connection with the highest points in the city. This main building connects with the tower through the underground floor, which is also a part of the museum.
