ABSTRACT While cities are the home of economic development and survival on the one hand, they can be described as areas where human beings are increasingly moving away from nature and leaving their mark on history. Every time we leave the old one and think about the new one, the accumulation and dormancy are occurring day by day. Urban abandonment areas have been entrusted to us as a product of the industrial world. In this project, which we started to question with the theme of new living space design in urban abandoned areas, as in the other parts of the world, it was requested that the old abandoned bus station area of Muğla be reintroduced and corrected the city’s potentials in terms of function and subject. In the center of Muğla city, the project area which is located in a place that constitutes urban threshold is approached by examining the continuity of public space with the city. A new interface to the City Square is aimed at reintroducing the public benefit and providing solutions to the problems and congestion of the city. The stagnation of the city and its inhabitants as well as the stagnation of the economic wheel caused the analysis of the city of Muğla again through the tourism phenomenon. It is foreseen that the inputs and outputs of tourism will be positive for Muğla city and it was decided to construct an Architectural Museum in which the city can offer its cultural and architectural diversity in the most comfortable and correct way. The Muğla Chimney, which became a symbol of the city, was considered as a metaphor and the physical condition of the chimney with the wind was visualized by light and the concept of Light Chimneys, in which the light and shade was designed for the Museum of Architecture, was decided. A public garden was created for the museum with public circulation, with a pedestrianized pedestrian street between the community house and the shadow elements following the composition of the museum’s roof forms. With the help of the sample project readings and environmental analysis, an architectural program was created and these places were gathered around 3 main headings. These three main headings were set up as workshops and conferences at the ground level, and they were designed as exhibitions and museums in the upper elevation, and spatial continuity was ensured both horizontally and vertically.
CITY ANALYSIS Muğla Province Center, which is chosen as the project area, is a city center which has a distinct character and developed as different from other Muğla districts. The city center of Muğla, which made the old and new urban fabric feel like a city together and read the present stratification, completed the city development with different reflexes in different periods. The city was formed around Arasta region in the 13th century. It was centered in the so-called Saburhane Region during the time of the 17th century and continued to grow in the southern line with the main square during the Republican period.

CITY THRESHOLD AND THE NEW INTERFACE Threshold as the meaning of the word; Tedir boundary, starting point, meaningful psychological, physiological point means the emergence of a reaction. However, when we consider the concept of urban threshold, the phenomenon we discuss may sometimes be imagining the boundary, sometimes the rest and sometimes the starting point. When we look at Muğla City Center, we may read that the old texture and the new urban texture were separated by the vehicle added to the city in the early 20th century. This roadway served as a threshold for the city in terms of texture, social life and urban structure. The fact that these urban textures are not diffused to each other has been found positive for both the Muğla City Center and the transfer of the old texture and transferring it to tourism as a cultural heritage. The fact that the old urban texture has entered tourism is also important for urban development as in the other districts of Muğla. Before deciding on the subject of the project area and public functional design in the buffer zone between the old city texture and the new city’s potentials, it was decided to examine the positive actions and orientations in cities similar to the city center of Muğla.

ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMME After examining and analyzing the existing architectural museums and centers, the architectural program was completed around 3 main headings. These are: the unit where the exhibition and conference venues will be; second, the unit where the training-research facilities, library and workshops will be located; the third is the unit where the administrative - service areas and archives will be established. After the main titles are taken out, architectural program and scenario have been created in order to make the design accessible to users of all ages as mentioned in the ground reading.
CONCEPT In spite of the many cultures and values it contains, the symbolization and symbolization of Muğla city with its ’Chimneys İçinde has been a pioneer for the concept approach. Morphological features of the chimney in the best way to take in the wind and circulate the situation is discussed in an abstract manner. In the Museum of Architecture, the status of light and shade as the basis of the space is examined, the concept of ‘Light Chimneys in is a Muğla-specific chimney. In this way, the chimney used for the wind, abstracted as light, the light filtered through the space and its shadow and the state of the cavity as an occitthic thinking occurred.
DESIGN PROCESS After the open plan design determined in the project approach and the pedestrianization of ÇamlĹk Street, the centers of the functions positioned in the design were continued considering the courtyard and the cores. The main entrances, which were taken from the two road roads in the northwest and southeast direction, formed the main circulation for the museum and also transferred the circulation to the vertical. The passage and transition areas created towards the public garden have also completed the permeability and flexibility of the design at the ground level.
SITE PLAN
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
Although it seems to be a closed and intense design with the effect of roof forms and mass movements, the Museum of Architecture has a plan that opens as far as possible with its permeability and dynamics in the floor and with its relationship established in the vertical space as much as possible. The interior of the foyer is surrounded by a courtyard like a courtyard, surrounded by cafes, and has been brought into focus with the circulation created by three sides of the space. The terrace floor which is articulated in parallel to the circulation of the exhibition and the user in the upper level can establish the visual and physical relationship with the inner garden. On the upper floor where the exhibition areas and archives are located, terraces are placed on the floor and the need of the user to open space is considered.

TOP FLOOR PLAN
VERTICAL SPACE DESIGN The museum spaces, which are currently solved at two levels, are supported by shelter and parking spaces on the basement floor. The spatial wealth was created with the circulation and transitions of the negative quota, and the plan diversity planed on the horizontal was transferred to the vertical.

C-C SECTION
Considering the light and texture effect in both interior and exterior design, the gross concrete with white aggregate added in the structure is left naked in the design which feeds the richness in the section with mass movements at the front. At the same time, the wood material we come across in the region is also included in the coverings of vertical curtain wall and semi-open spaces which form both window gaps and facade movements. In the whole of the design, only the use of gross concrete and a single type of wood prevented the mass-form design of the faรงade material or coating from being prevented.

STRUCTURE DESIGN In the project, it was decided to use white aggregate doped gross concrete as a carrier system. At the same time as the facade material with the texture required to be detected on the walls required to be provided with the steel molds created in the breakdown of the sections were decided on the static calculation. It has been decided that the roof forms will have difficulty in case of pouring and manufacturing of gross concrete as a mold, and it was decided to carry the building shell with precast laminated wooden beams. The wooden structural elements used as a bearing profile on the curtain wall are anchored to the floor and to the gross concrete walls with steel plates and blons. In the interior, the wooden beams were covered with six suspended ceilings and in the exhibition spaces, this was designed to be able to vary according to the composition of the exhibition and the curator. The laminated timber beams, which are anchored to the concrete, are covered with pre-stretched precast concrete which is in the same texture as the gross concrete that appears on the front. Permanent perception of material from human scale was requested.
