Our proposal for an active living center in Adıyaman envisions a city fragment in which people with disabilities can fulfill desired social functions and improve their productive skills. In this respect the campus is organized via a reinterpretation of the city through its circulation networks and solid-void relations. The structural grid spanning eastwest and north-south directions is utilized to create circulation axes that comply with universal design standards. The circulation network based on inner streets create a variety of open, semi-open, and enclosed spaces, which maximize natural light and ventilation throughout the project.

Horizontal organization: Accessibility
Solid-void: Buildings and Parks
Vertical circulation axes
