Istanbul, Türkiye

Year

2019

Type

Memorial & interactive digital museum

Target audience

General public, tourists

Dedicated to the events of the thwarted 2016 coup attempt, this museum stands as a memorial to democratic resilience and the citizens who defended it. The space relies heavily on high-impact digital technology — large-scale 3D video projections, immersive soundscapes and interactive kiosks — to recreate the timeline of that night, combining personal artifacts of the victims with emotional multimedia installations.

A distinctive detail — The museum displays real objects from that night, including vehicles crushed by tanks and personal effects of the victims.
