THE WORM

Gazi University, Faculty of Architecture, Ankara

Project idea

In the workshop, space and user interaction were discussed under the theme of spectacle spaces. We can define spectacle spaces as something that follows each other like a show and can be watched. In this context, we aimed to open the closed situation of the school where we were educated and turn it into a contemplation area. We have destroyed the wall between the student and the citizen in the education process and turned the education process into a show.
