EURASIA TUNNEL MUSEUM

Eurasia Tunnel Museum, exhibition design and direction of which was created by AVCI ARCHITECTS under the curation and direction of SANJA JURCA AVCI, has opened at the same time with the Eurasia Tunnel on Tuesday, December 20th, 2016.
The story of the Eurasia Tunnel is told with cutting edge digital mapping technology, engaging the visitor in the Tunnel’s head spinning process of creation, which is itself a wonder of human resource, creativity and endeavor. The museum matches this with its own creative techniques of storytelling from interactive touch tables, virtual reality glasses, interactive touch-pads to an all immersive ‘surround vision’ projection environment, which will absorb visitors like never before in Turkey. This museum is a pioneering design approach for Turkey which will put it on the map for a must see event in Istanbul. The exhibition in the museum came to life with the contributions of Şener Çardak as the technical design consultant. Construction and installation of the exhibition were realised by SERGİKUR, while all digital works and touch screens of the exhibition were prepared in collaboration with NOHLab and NERDWORKING.

Our role here was to as Avcı Architects design the exhibition, taking on the roles of curator, writer, editor, graphic designers and then after agreeing a construction budget complete all construction documentation, including shop drawing level of details. Under the direction of Sanja Jurca Avci we employed the services of IT experts to create an all-round immersive space. We brought together all of the construction elements with specialists, supervised the production of shop drawings, and agreed manufacturing details using shop drawings and supervised the construction of the museum. The project was completed in a very short time in time for the opening of the museum for a visit by the President of Türkiye.
