About Discussions Projects99 Journals55 Publications2

Cultural preservation in architecture and design concerns the protection of living traditions, languages, crafts, and built heritage through spaces that support their continued use. Designers working on this topic consider how buildings, public spaces, and institutions can keep cultural knowledge in active circulation rather than treating it as a static record.

Members here explore projects ranging from cultural centres and museums to community markets, learning spaces, and conservation buildings. The work includes sites in India, China, Japan, and Afghanistan, and frequently links heritage with local craft, music, language learning, and social infrastructure.

Al Shifa

Dipping into the rich tapestry of Syria's history and culture, the project aims to evoke a sense of family as it unites the people and attempts to restore public life. It is a celebration of food, culture, art, architecture, history and oneself. The vision is to empower the people of Aleppo and ensure that the memory of their culture and history lives on.

Shirakawa-Go Culture and Conservation Center 2022

Beyond the first shade of the site exits a far richer dynamic -of people living as family across a neighborhood. The preservation of this UNESCO site was only possible because of the bond between the villagers. My take is to present the unity and pride of Shirakawa Go while paying homage to its culture. This project doesn't exist without its people
