Digital Workshop Spaces could easily be transformed to an exhibition space with its modularity & flexibility.
More than an art center, ODAK is a dynamic hub for art, education, and social engagement. Designed as a collective space, it fosters creativity through public areas like a library, café, and exhibition spaces, ensuring continuous community interaction. The project enhances Sinop’s cultural and economic landscape by increasing its visibility, supporting local production, and expanding opportunities for artists and residents alike.
Record, Play, Produce, Store!" each represents the cycles in ODAK (FOCUS), and the cycles define the spaces within the campus. The output of one cycle in a space becomes the input for another cycle in another space. All spaces are added in succession like links in a chain. Thus, when viewed as a whole, a campus structure that is self-sustaining, self-sufficient, and sustainable is created.
This project envisions a self-sufficient and sustainable campus where each space feeds into another, creating a continuous loop of productivity. Like links in a chain, spaces are added sequentially, forming an interconnected system. The digital workshops in the main building serve as dynamic environments for software, design, and visualization courses, adaptable for different age groups.
The digital outputs generated here seamlessly integrate into various exhibition spaces—observation structures, courtyards, the main building, or the historic hamam—entering new cycles of use and interaction. This ever-evolving campus fosters creativity, education, and innovation in a fluid and interconnected manner.
