Ayazini Pavilion

Ayazini Pavilion

Located at the entrance to Ayazini Village, one of the significant settlements of the ancient Phrygian civilization, the project was developed in consultation with the Cultural Heritage Preservation Board due to its proximity to the archaeological site.

As one of the gateway structures to the Phrygian Valley, the building includes a welcome area, exhibition spaces, and multi-purpose spaces introducing the cultural and historical character of Ayazini Village. One of its key design features is the dialogue established between its two towers and the historic cave dwellings carved into the slopes of the valley.

Constructed in masonry stone, the towers are connected by intermediate spaces formed with lightweight timber structures. These smaller, narrower volumes are detached from the natural ground, creating a distinct relationship between the solid stone masses and the surrounding landscape.
