Ziya Imren, Barış Ekmekçi, and Münire Sagat shared with us their second prize winning proposal for the Gallipoli Agadere Memorial & Hospital Museum. One of the main ideas of the project is the purpose of bringing a modern approach to the concept of preservation. The result is a solution that is respectful to the martyrs and the land, but at the same time one in which the historical memory is protected via exposing the historic and cultural potential. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The design area is the place where the injured soldiers were treated in the tents during the Battle of Gallipoli. In this perspective, the general approach is defined as re-discovering the potential the land has and using that in a way that is worth the sacred place it constitutes in the memory of the history.
