Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University is hosting an international, architecture-focused, and multidisciplinary workshop from November 25–27, 2026, centered on Kayaşehir—one of Cappadocia’s rock-carved heritage sites. Over the course of three days, participants working in interdisciplinary groups will conduct site visits, explore the Göreme Open-Air Museum through a spatial analysis, and present their design proposals for Kayaşehir to a public jury. The resulting work will be exhibited at the partner museum during the closing session and submitted to the Nevşehir Municipality for further development.
