"How do you transform a memorial house into a new generation museum?"

A museum concept that steps outside traditional exhibition methods and aims to provide visitors with an immersive experience; it strives for visitors not just to read or see history, but to feel like a part of it. The core challenge of the design was to unify seven different rooms into a single narrative along a continuous circulation spine.

"We didn't just show history; we made the visitor a part of the struggle."

DESIGN DECISIONS

From concept to space

Establishing a continuous circulation spine

A continuous flow was aimed for in circulation, prioritizing the hosting of maximum visitors within the building at the same time. This circulation forms the spine of the entire design.

Keeping the spirit of the era alive in the Atatürk Memorial Room

In the room where Mustafa Kemal Pasha is believed to have spent the night of September 9, 1922, period-appropriate furniture and a bed convey the atmosphere of the era, while display panels detail Atatürk's life and his visits to Kemalpaşa.

Bringing the figures of the National Struggle face to face

In the Figures of the National Struggle Room, portraits of the commanders meet visitors at eye level on full-height panels. These panels outline each figure's life and role in the struggle through concise texts.

Mannequins in period clothing and an AI-powered photo experience allow visitors to see themselves as part of this historic team.
