Kadim Complex
The project, which will be built on a 5000 m2 land right in front of AGD and MGV Headquarters in Pursaklar, Ankara, will serve like the külliyes / imaretes of our ancient civilization. It includes a mosque, condolence house, library, publishing house, workshops, meeting halls, conference halls, wedding halls, café (reading halls), coffee houses and tea houses.
The complex consists of units on two different levels. A living building group was conceived with two different courtyards on the harim level and the organization of the spaces attached to these courtyards.
On the lower level, there are more meeting, conference, invitation/wedding organizations and a nursery in a special corner, while on the upper level, there are more daily units that will be used and spent time by the surrounding community.
A Living Complex: The complex, which will serve users from all age groups, includes a mosque, ablution halls, condolence house, private room, publishing house, library, workshops, meeting halls, conference halls, wedding/invitation halls, foyers, shops, senate room, nursery and private nursery garden, mosque courtyard, social courtyard, café/coffee house.
Phase by phase: It is possible to enter the boundaries of the complex through 3 different gates on the garden walls. After these entrances; you can either enter the courtyards through stairs or space passages. The structures are designed in this way to prepare the worshippers in stages as they approach the place of worship.
Center The complex, which is inviting with the orientation of the land layout and entrances from 3 different levels, has two focal points. The larger focal point is the mosque, while the smaller focal point is the social reinforcement areas.
A 7/24 Living Complex: Within the complex, which will serve users from all age groups; there are places such as mosque, ablution halls, condolence house, private room, publishing house, library, workshops, meeting halls, conference halls, wedding / invitation halls, foyers, shops, senate room, nursery and private nursery garden, mosque courtyard, social courtyard, café / coffeehouse. It is also important that the nursery has its own entrance and that a large garden is at the service of the nursery.
Enclosure After the entrances on the garden walls, one can enter the courtyards by passing through the courtyard entrance gate as another stage. These entrances are also intended to encircle people from the inside and outside, creating a sense of integrity.
Sign: The complex, which points to our ancient architectural heritage with its references, aims to carry what it has taken from the past to the present and thus to the future.
Kindergarten and Garden: The 3-room kindergarten, where national and spiritual values will be taught and children will be sent to primary school equipped with knowledge, will also meet the needs of the surrounding community.
