ENTATHESIA-CONE really stands out as a project that takes architecture in a bold and thoughtful direction. It’s refreshing to see a concept that doesn’t just rely on form or aesthetics but dives deep into how people actually feel and interact with a space. The way you brought together neuroscience, sensory experience, and spatial design shows a strong grasp of both the emotional and technical sides of architecture. The idea of architectural synesthesia and designing for multiple senses is something we rarely see explored this deeply — and your take on it feels fresh and intentional, not just theoretical.
The way the presentation is laid out shows a lot of control and awareness of visual hierarchy. There’s a great rhythm in the way information is presented; nothing feels forced or cluttered. The negative space is used really well — it's easy on the eyes, which helps the viewer focus on the key elements. Your choice of color for the boards complements the project beautifully, and more importantly, it doesn't distract from the content. Also, a big plus: you included a scale and clear dimensions in your plans. That level of detail might seem small, but it shows a kind of thoroughness that many entries overlook.
The floor plans are clear and functionally sound, but what’s most impressive is how they reflect user movement and flow. You can actually imagine how someone might move from one cone to the next, and how their senses might be activated throughout. The cones themselves are brilliant — not only are they visually striking, but they also carry so much narrative weight. Making them independent from the main structure was a clever choice; it gives them a sculptural feel that really amplifies the experimental tone of the project. The idea that the interiors can adapt over time is another strong touch — it tells us this project isn’t just a moment, it’s a process.
Thank you, Kamile Buse SEDİR, and congratulations for being part of the Inspireli Competition with such a curious and forward-thinking project. PENTATHESIA-CONE doesn’t just propose a building — it suggests a new way of experiencing space, and that’s something worth celebrating.
