After the mining license of an area in the Taşocakları region of Nevşehir was revoked, the site of the former quarry was slated for conservation-oriented tourism. During the investigation of the site, archaeological sites were found in areas that had not yet been mined, including a rare altar on the top of one plateau. These areas have since been put under the protection.The unique physical characteristics of the property, the historical sites within it, and the thermal springs discovered there were the main factors that shaped the project. The intent was to make geography a part of the designed “place” by using these physical and cultural data to create the singular context of the project.
