Subsidence investigates the relationship between sheep, people, and land in the Konya Closed Basin in Central Anatolia, where extensive groundwater extraction for agriculture has led to the formation of over 3000 sinkholes. The landscape, heavily shaped by wells and intensive farming, is treated as a resource, resulting in ecological imbalance and ground collapse over time. The proposal approaches sinkholes as active spatial conditions rather than voids, integrating them with solar fields, grazing systems, and carved architectural
interventions. By working with geological processes, animal movement, and agricultural infrastructure, the design explores a more symbiotic relationship between habitation and landscape.
