Digital publication to create awareness
on the importance of heritage preservation.
on the importance of heritage preservation.
Our world’s cultural heritage is threatened.
Looting, urbanization, mass tourism, armed conflict, and climate change damage and destroy irreplaceable sites where cultures emerged, languages developed, and civilizations thrived.
Miras’s mission is to further the conservation of endangered places, by creating a bridge between the unique sites that represent our heritage, and the people who want to preserve them.
MIRAS is a personal project — a digital publication prototyped on Figma, created together with Doğa Can Ertürk.
The idea was born from our shared backgrounds: two designers from small towns, Massa in Italy and Silifke in Turkey, places where nature and history intertwine. Growing up surrounded by landscapes and heritage that constantly risk being neglected or lost, we became deeply aware of their fragility.
What struck us, however, was how many people remain unaware of this silent struggle. Nature and history are not just the past — they are also the future, shaping the world we will leave behind. MIRAS draws inspiration from this awareness: a story that began long before us, and a fight that continues today.
Through this project, we wanted to share a message of resilience — that there is still hope to protect, preserve, and rebuild what is at risk of disappearing.
