Students Marilu de Bies and Simon Wijrdeman have been selected out of 84 submitted projects with an honourable mention at the Architecture competition Nemrut Volcano Eyes.

This competition tasked participants with envisioning a visitor observation platform to be constructed atop Nemrut, a volcano located in eastern Turkey. Positioned at an altitude of 2,800 metres at the southern edge of the dormant volcano, the intent of this new landmark is to provide unobstructed views overlooking the extraordinary caldera and its internal lakes, as well as the immense Lake Van to the east.
