Design Phase Completed

Within the scope of the "Living Space Design in Container" project, which was organized to bring a design proposal to the container cities to be established for the earthquake victims whose houses were damaged in the February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, each group started the design process with the concept they determined with the support of their advisors.
