The project sets the scene in near future within an expanding timeline exploring the concepts of new ways of living within the next generations. While aiming to create a self-sufficient community in the old and obsolete Dam of Ankara, it revists the Dam’s past ambitions creating the next generations of the new republic. In that sense, the project while sets out a system proposal for new propoganda in the way we live, it copes up with the climatic crisis. After the context of Ankara and its various scapes turn into inhabitable spaces for living, the project sets out an example of a pilot settlement where a living model and its building components could be regenerated in diverse scenes and regions. “Intrastructure”, meaning among and within the frame, explores this issue of pilot settlement where it conveys an example of living laboratories - indicating a communally-bounded social living in a topography where water is the start.
