Text description provided by the architects. The Rami Library Project focuses on the adaptive reuse of the historic Rami Barracks, transforming the 19th-century military structure into a contemporary public library through a design strategy centred on clarity, spatial continuity, and minimal intervention. Built between 1826–1828 for the Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye and attributed to Seyyid Abdülhalim Efendi, the large single-storey complex—organized around a monumental courtyard—offered a strong architectural foundation for its new function.
