🇹🇷𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗭𝗭𝗜𝗡𝗜 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗘! 🎖Status: 2023 Golden Trezzini Awards Official Selection 👥Applicant(s): KAAT ARCHITECTURE URBAN 📋Konya Aleaddin Hill Archeological Site Arrangement 📍Location: Konya, Turkey 📂Category: Best Project of Public Building or Facility ℹ️About the project: Architectural structures evoke memories of the past, while new ones create new memories. At the heart of this tension is the Alaeddin Hill, a unifying force that collects memories. It is a generator that blends the prehistoric and cultural inventory with the natural flow of life. Memories are recalled under the protective umbrella of the conservation, in the Keykubad Mosque and in the solemn remains of the Palace of Kılıçarslan II. These remnants must continue to exist. People should be able to walk around them and suddenly become a part of them while walking on the pavement. They should blend in effortlessly and without calculation as landscape elements. Archaeological remains and historic buildings must be integrated into the natural flow of urban life as cultural landscapes. The protective system that preserves archaeological excavation sites is attached to the hillside according to its slope. Its existence is only a reminder of the hill’s worn, original geometry... 🥰𝙇𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩?
