Description: “Return, return whoever you have become, Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving- it does not matter, Ours is not a caravan of despair, Return, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times, Come, come again, come,” -Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi- In the words of the famous Rumi, this hostel aims to bring people back to Konya, the old capital of the Seljuk Empire, and later on an important trade point in the Ottoman Turkey. The hostel offers a place for people to rest while visiting the many historical and religious sites of the city, home to poet and scholar Mevlana Rumi, as well as a hub to exhibit and develop artists' works with its open exhibition spaces and studio spaces. The most striking element of the hostel is its media facade which displays images through the rotation of its elements in a pixelated manner.
