FLASHBACK<<

Hatay is very cosmopolitan city with its population from different cultures with various memories. Besides, the city has its own memory. However, This cultural heritage is lost because of being not stored. Therefore, I try to create a datacenter in order to collect data input from individuals and the city, and then by examining the input, I aim to create an output for city and individuals.

So “What are these inputs and outputs ?”

All these individuals and groups leave a continuous virtual footprint through their behaviours. With the help of data center, it is possible to read these virtual breadcrumbs, understand behaviour of urban populations and translate it into a prediction and suitable virtual site specific design. In addition, the city’s memories – cultural heritage – are stored in a digital form and by this way, it spreads much more people by being more accessible. It can be defined as a “Culture Cloud”.

Thanks to these inputs, data center creates an augmented environment. This augmented space is a physical space which is “data dense”, as every point now potentially contains
various information captured from the city and individuals. Project positions itself like a museum and preserves and maintains the cultural tangible and intangible heritage of the Antioch.
By asserting symbolic function of the ruined monument as a time record, it is aimed to re-establish the strongest sense of place.

Furthermore, augmented environment is an open framework which allows anybody to contribute the city freely and individuals may create and publish content independently.
Multi-authored channels can be possibly created. In addition, being dependent to its environment, it provides contribution to meaning of the city.

Therefore, the Flashback’s aim is to convert visible to invisible and it explores the way recreating and inhabiting memories.

The center of the tower there is a Ventilation Core and the around the ventilation core attached the broadcast units in boxes.

On top of the mountain there is a Urban Plaza and research units for contemporary archeology and memory map researches.

Inside the mountain there is a Data Hall, there is main data( from city and individuals inputs) processing in the high security hall.
