CALL FOR PROPOSALS: NEMRUT VOLCANO EYES

The Nemrut caldera sits cradled within the Nemrut Volcano in Turkey,
formed by the collapse of the volcano into itself, creating a large, deep
crater. This dramatic formation creates a unique micro-environ ment,
becoming home to plants and animals that thrive in the harsh conditions.
Nestled within the caldera is lake Nemrut , a half-moon crater freswater lake
that f urther adds to the unique biodiversity of the caldera.
The Nemrut V olcano Eyes architecture competition is tasking participants
with envisioning an observa tion point Positioned at an altitude of about
2,800 metres on the southern edge of the crater, the look out point will
provide visitors with outstanding views overlooking Lake Van and its
surroundings.
The competition requires participants to consider both functional and
aesthetic properties whe n de signing the observation point, as construction
would be complicated and potentially costly in such a harsh environment.
