Cities change and shape their environment through structures. It prepares its visitors, who are users, for a new process with its spatial experiences. In the spatial configurations of the buildings, the structure is layered with the functions and relations it establishes with the environment. In this way, the process that starts in space, the interaction between space and people, then spreads from people to cities and cities.
The experience described in the process may contain layers that the user has sometimes never experienced. This experience leaves traces on the user. The needs given within the scope of the competition, the natural environment and historical background prepare the appropriate ground for carrying these traces. In this sense, Söğüt can be described as a place where these three elements melt in one pot and where the memory of space is strong.
