2024 TMMOB Chamber of Architects 19. National Architecture Exhibition and Awards

In 2024, Seddülbahir Fortress was deemed worthy of an award in the building/conservation category within the scope of the TMMOB 19th National Architecture Exhibition and Awards organized by the Chamber of Architects of the Turkish Engineers and Architects every two years. Restoration project author Arzu Özsavaşçı (AOMTD) and new use project author Y. Burak Dolu (Koop Architecture) received their awards at the award ceremony held in Kült Kavaklıdere in Ankara on Friday, April 19, 2024.

We received the award on behalf of all our teammates, executives, consultants, employer and contractor-implementer teams, and hundreds of people who have worked for years in the research projects, survey, restitution, conservation, restoration, new use, and application projects of Seddülbahir Castle, which has a unique place in Turkish architectural production with its 27-year history of work. This award is our gift to everyone who has a heartfelt connection with Seddülbahir Fortress and its village, especially the Kaletemı team.
