Istanbul design studio Teğet designs the Çatalhöyük visitor center located on a Neolithic archaeological site nestled in central Turkey. The Çatalhöyük space is defined by the three wooden buildings that purposefully surround a courtyard. This design project is commissioned by the local municipality and it is placed in one of the world's oldest known settlements.
Teğet speaks to Dezeen, "Our articulation strategy was based on the existing or pre-existing elements on-site. We don't define Çatalhöyük Visitor Center as a museum or an exhibition building, but as a spine that organises the experience and movement of visitors in relation to the existing elements on site. [...] The central courtyard is the core of the project as it is the encounter area of all three programs."
