KÜÇÜKÇEKMECE DJEMEVİ WON WAF AWARD IN FUTURE PROJECTS CIVIC CATEGORY!

Djemevi addresses the marginalization of the Alevi community, offering a space that reflects their cultural identity and provides a legitimate, inclusive gathering place.
We drew inspiration from the djem (gathering) ritual, shaping the design around these principles. The Djemevi is organized as a series of fragmented structures within a city park, creating a fluid, interconnected layout that blends communal and private spaces. The design includes key areas like the Life space, Dining Hall, and worship spaces, fostering unity and interaction.

By combining traditional values with contemporary needs, our project offers a meaningful space for the Alevi community while also contributing to the future of civic architecture. This recognition at WAF highlights the Djemevi’s potential as a model for inclusive, community-focused spaces.
