PROJECT OVERVIEW
Graduate design research reinterpreting Istanbul’s historic Tophane Barracks through relationships among architecture, artifacts, machines, and landscape. Rather than preserving ruins as isolated monuments, the proposal embeds architectural remains within a constructed garden where historical fragments and industrial components are hybridized into spatial assemblies.
Extrusion, digital modeling, and formal transformation convert these sources into architectural objects between artifact and inhabitable space. Concealed beneath the landscape and selectively revealed through circulation, the hybrid structures establish shifting relationships between ground, ruin, and intervention.
The project uses architectural fiction to question conventional preservation while exploring how historical material can acquire new spatial identities through transformation.

CONCEALMENT + REVEAL
The garden operates as both surface and concealment. Hybrid artifacts are embedded within the ground, partially buried, exposed, or encountered through movement. Their architectural identity is never entirely fixed; each object shifts between ruin, machine, landscape, and inhabitable space depending on how it is approached.

What is buried is not lost. It becomes another condition of architecture, waiting to be encountered.
