Historic Fortress Open-Air Museums

KOOP Architects Revives the Ottoman Seddülbahir Fortress

— November 5, 2024 — Art & Design
Turkish design studio KOOP Architects has brought new life to the Ottoman Seddülbahir Fortress on the Gallipoli peninsula. It is a 17th-century structure and the project forms an outline in timber which nods to the history as a suggestion of how the stone ruins would have looked before. The Ottoman Seddülbahir Fortress was first built in 1656 and went through damage during the First World War.

The studio explains, "A guiding concept in the restoration of the site and the museum, and a major challenge in the design process at the Seddülbahir Fortress, was to preserve the memory of the destruction of World War One but to also create a space to reflect upon peace. There is little left on the peninsula that recalls the violent destruction of the battles fought there. Several elements of the fortress were therefore preserved as ruins and serve as spaces to contemplate how war takes its toll on buildings, people, and the environment."

Some of the new updates include the dotted wrapping around the stone wall with the circular towers whereas the structure is made up of various buildings that were constructed at different periods in time. All of these are now connected by an accessible new route that has a perforated metal ramp.
