Mediatheque

There are many libraries in Turkey, but there is no mediatheque. The difference from the library is that a mediatheque or multimedia library is a public institution functioning as a library, containing not only paper and electronic books, newspapers and magazines, but also multimedia materials like videos (movies, documentaries) and sound recordings (music, audio books).

Nowadays, when research is done, we do not only research on the basis of books, and unfortunately, the libraries have lost their functionality today because the contents of the libraries are not updated, the books always remain the same, the students who come to the library only use the desks as a study area and when their work is finished they never wonder what content is around, is just returning home.

Mediatheque, on the other hand, provides a variety of possibilities so that people of all ages, from young to old, can spend the whole day learning and having fun without getting bored. I decided to do the mediatheque project, thinking that the lack of mediatheque in Turkey is a big gap. When I researched in the context of place and place, I chose Eminönü district, which is considered as the meeting point of cultures, while looking for a location where many cultures are hosted and which can make great changes in terms of education and location. I made a project in the historical layers, with various people and thinking that it was the most suitable location.
