RE[VIV]AL-Architecture in the Realm of Death and Liberation

Architecture of Moksha explores how architecture can engage with death not as an end, but as a profound human journey. Situated within the sacred context of Varanasi, this dissertation investigates the intersection of ritual, memory, grief, and spirituality, proposing an architectural framework that restores dignity, compassion, and meaning to end-of-life spaces. Through research and design, the work reimagines the cremation landscape as a place of healing, reflection, and transcendence.
