Gevher Nesibe, 1206

AI production for the faculty's promotional film

The faculty asked us to bring its story back to the Gevher Nesibe hospital and medical school, built in Kayseri in 1206. We rebuilt the complex from survey drawings as a Blender model, then filmed it with AI: the carved gate, the courtyard, the lessons, the cures and the farewell.

Our part: AI production
Studio: Citrine Studio
With: Faculty of Communication
Period: Aug–Oct 2026
