This project is designed as a common ground where people can experience and observe nature while taking part in creative activities. The design follows the natural slope of the site and creates a sequence of spaces that guide visitors through the landscape. The project includes an entrance hub, process gallery, exhibition area, workshop space, and zones for photography and sketching. Semi-open and enclosed spaces provide different levels of interaction and privacy. Transparent colored surfaces bring light into the spaces and create changing visual experiences. By connecting the design with the existing topography of Çankaya Botanical Garden, the project encourages movement, observation, and a strong relationship between people and nature.
