Fatma Ana Cemevi and Culture Center / 9016

Studio 9016's architectural design proposal for a Cemevi and Culture Centre was selected as the Winner of Istanbul Beylikduzu Municipality's competition in 2015. As completed in 2020, it is the first Cemevi competition-winner project that was built in Turkey, chosen from 82 projects. Cemevi is the name of the gathering place for the Alevi-Bektashi population, which is a religious minority group; and Beylikduzu Cemevi and Culture Centre creates a distinctive presence for Alevis in Istanbul.
