Khalkedon Archaeological Museum and Research Center
Stratum is a graduation project for an archaeological museum and research centre in Kadıköy. It combines excavation, exhibition, education and research on the historic site of Khalkedon.
The museum meets the ground and archaeological remains; the research volume sits above the public plaza. Workshops, a library, an auditorium and laboratories complete the programme.
