Synthetica employs a seamless blend between technology and nature in Cappadocia to create a synthetic environment that redefines the existing terrain. This approach represents a significant step towards acknowledging the Anthropocene era, and our intervention results in an exquisite aesthetic that highlights the distinctive geological features of the region.
From a cultural standpoint, our design intends to entice current tourists by providing them with an immersive experience at various levels. Our intervention is envisioned to become a popular tourist attraction in Cappadocia and can be explored via hot air balloon rides, offering visitors a chance to witness its grandeur from a new perspective.
