This project is a design for a multi-purpose cultural center with a capacity of approximately 500 people, proposed to be located in Samsun. The building is conceived not merely as an event space, but as a vibrant social hub throughout the day, with a permeable ground floor design that establishes a strong connection with the city and a front square integrated with public open spaces. The minimalist mass located above allows for flexible usage scenarios within the interior, while the transparent and fluid spaces on the lower level function as foyers, exhibition areas, and meeting spaces. By treating architecture not as an object, but as a public platform interacting with the city, the project offers a contemporary spatial proposal that supports cultural production.
