•Architects: Bahadir Kul

Location: Nevşehir, Nevşehir Merkez/Nevşehir, Turkey

Client: Municipality of Nevşehir

Area: 8000.0 sqm

Project Year: 2010

 The intercity bus
terminal was designed
on the way to Aksaray,
5km away from the city
center , due to the
existing bus terminal’s
incompatibility
to handle the needs.
The convenience of the
linkage to the local
road of Nigde and to
the city center were the
reasons why this area is
preferred.
 The natural stone texture, indentation, natural fillings and gaps, amorphous and
asylum, and sheltering urge compose the originating point of the structure in the
mysterious topography of Cappadoccia. The protection and urge of shelter need of
the passengers under the rainy weather conditions during the waiting hours is
provided by the amorphous gaps within the fairy chimneys.
 The characteristics of the amorphous gaps on the shell structure was improved by
clinging a rectangular form. A second facade was configured and pulled 5m back
on the rectangular form which is composed of the outer shell structure that faces
the passenger platforms and bus platforms. A semi open waiting area was created
in order to protect the passengers under bad weather conditions. The visual
relationship of the structure between the passenger lobby, waiting halls and the
cafes was reinforced by the transparent surfaces that face the area.
