Dataverse is an urban building aimed at enhancing existing public functions and leveraging the potential of Ankara’s capital characteristics through the incorporation of innovative features for independent art/cinema and computational design. Additionally, the design strategy revolves around optimizing sunlight, wind, and light to create an improved indoor/outdoor space for the public. Moreover, with multiple climate-awareness functions, the project has the capacity to raise public awareness about existing environmental issues. Lastly, the building’s multi-functional spaces address Ankara’s lack of event/activity venues, further enhancing its significance as the capital city.
