TAŞLICA CAPMUS

The Lost and Found – Phase 3: Manifolding project develops a museum proposal for the rural village of Taşlıca that weaves together site, material, and community research from earlier phases into a resolved architectural design. Focusing on museology and human experience, the project treats the museum not as a neutral container but as a discursive space that collects, preserves, and exhibits local traditions, rituals, and everyday life, shaping how the village’s history is written and perceived. Through careful tectonic articulation of volumes, circulation, and programmatic spaces, supported by diagrams, plans, sections, and perspectival drawings, the work aims to stage meaningful experiences for visitors, staff, and passersby while preparing a complete set of representations for final exhibition

Problem

Rural contexts such as Taşlıca often lack integrated institutions that simultaneously support archaeological research, long-term preservation, and meaningful public engagement, resulting in fragmented relationships between local heritage, academic inquiry, and everyday community life.

Design

This project proposes a climate-responsive archaeology museum that consolidates public galleries, research laboratories, administrative offices, and community programs into a single architectural framework, employing hımış-inspired structure, calibrated daylight, and performative landscape systems to foster sustained interaction between people, place, and archaeological knowledge.

Development

This museum proposes a climate-responsive cultural campus in Taşlıca, Turkey that merges public galleries, research labs, offices, and community spaces, using traditional hımış-inspired structure, filtered light, and integrated water-collecting landscape features to create a seamless environment that connects people with archaeology, daily life, and place.
