KERNE, 2018

Karacasu is a district located in the Aydın province of Turkey, in the Aegean Region. It is known for its pottery craftsmanship. Although the exact historical origins of this craft are unknown, it is known to have been a production center from ancient times to the present. Ceramic finds dating from the 5th century BC to the 5th century AD, discovered in the ancient city of Aphrodisias in the Geyre neighborhood of Karacasu, provide evidence that this craft was practiced in the region. The pottery tradition, which is now at risk of disappearing, continues in the Karacasu production center. In Karacasu, where nearly 30 pottery workshops (Kerne) are still operational, the forms of the pots produced have maintained their traditional and unique characteristics despite the advancement of technology. Today, approximately 50 households make their living from this craft.

Earthen Shelter / 'Dwelling', Project Video Editing, 2020

Onur Fındık's project approaches Maihar's daily life practices, religion, and culture from an architectural point of view. While designing the project, local materials (fired brick, bamboo, and mud plaster) that are commonly used by the people in their daily buildings have been preferred for construction. In addition to this, the vertical architectural form in the religious structures of India has been adopted in this project. As a result, traditional and modern factors have come together, and this form of sculptural shelter has emerged.
