Ubuntu NGO Hub is designed as a social connector that brings together women, children, and youth through shared spaces and interaction. Located in Eskişehir, a city shaped by cultural diversity, the project creates a common platform for organizations such as Street Child, TOG, and KEDV. Inspired by the concept of Ubuntu—“I am because we are”—the design is organized around a central mass that connects smaller volumes. These volumes are shaped according to the different needs and activities of each user group while maintaining visual and physical connections. Located along the main circulation path, the central gathering area becomes the heart of the project. The overall design aims to achieve maximum interaction between groups and encourage social exchange. Colored glass represents diversity, timber references Eskişehir’s traditional architecture, and concrete symbolizes unity and collective strength.
