The design of the Küçükçekmece Djemevi emphasizes social inclusivity, providing the Alevi community with a legitimate space that respects their cultural traditions, particularly during the 'cem' ritual.
EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture's design reflects an extensive analysis of the Alevi community's sociological needs, ensuring the space combats social exclusion while fostering identity through interconnected courtyards.
Recognized at the World Architecture Festival 2024, the Küçükçekmece Djemevi offers recreational spaces integrated into a local park, promoting inclusivity and cultural engagement in Istanbul.
The project is a response to the socio-political climate, addressing the marginalization of groups by creating a multi-functional civic space designed to meet the cultural and ritual needs of the Alevis.
