The architectural development of the complex now known as the Harbiye Military Museum and Cultural Site began with the construction of the Imperial Military School (Mekteb-i Harbiye-i Şahane), which officially opened between July 23 and 29, 1847. The complex was later expanded in 1887–1888 with the addition of a Neoclassical dining hall (the Ahmet Muhtar Pasha Building). In the early 1900s, the Ahmet Fethi Pasha Building, also referred to as the gymnasium, was added to the site.

The Project includes the Documentation – Problem Analysis, Material Analysis, Historical Research – Restitution, Intervention Decisions – Restoration, Landscape Design, Exhibition Design and Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering projects of these three structures.
