this is koç universitesi’s research center for anatolian civilizations.
the building reminds me of aperture science. pretty, but sterile and cold.
in the entrance, two security guards peered at me through a circular hole in the wall. they intercepted me as i got to the other side of the entranceway, asked me for my ID (which they are holding until i leave). the second guard escorted me to the study room on the third floor.
i took the elevator to the bathroom on the bottom floor. afterward, i tried to take the the stairs only to hear a “MERHABA!” from above me. i saw a guard in another circular hole in the wall. he pointed toward the elevator. he watched me ride the glass elevator all the way back to the study room.
i don’t know what’s in the first or second floors or why i’m not allowed to see them.
