THE ÇANKIRI SCIENCE MUSEUM WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN THE TOWN’S PUBLIC PARK, SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATING WITH ITS NATURAL SURROUNDINGS. TWO PRIMARY MASSES DRIVE THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT.

THE FIRST IS A BASE STRUCTURE THAT HARMONIZES WITH THE SITE’S TOPOGRAPHY. GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT ELEVATION DIFFERENCE ACROSS THE PLOT DUE TO ITS SLOPED TERRAIN, THE DESIGN ADAPTS THE MUSEUM TO THE LANDSCAPE, ALLOWING VISITORS TO NAVIGATE THE COURTYARD AND ACCESS IT FROM MULTIPLE LEVELS, ENSURING AN ENGAGING AND FLUID EXPERIENCE.

THE SECOND MASS SERVES AS A SYMBOLIC AND DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT, REPRESENTING SCIENCE, LIFE, AND THE ORIGINS OF EXISTENCE—DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE FIRST UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS ON EARTH. THIS STRIKING FORM ENHANCES THE MUSEUM’S IDENTITY, MAKING IT A CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION AND A LANDMARK WITHIN THE CITY.
