the architectural memoir of memory

Memory is not static; it evolves, fades, transforms, and survives through people, rituals, and places. Within the Parsi community, the Tower of Silence at Doongerwadi has long existed as a sacred landscape carrying generations of funerary traditions, collective remembrance, and cultural identity.

Rooted

Architecture does not begin with form. It begins with listening— to the ground beneath, the culture around, and the materials that the land offers.

It is a conviction— that the best architecture grows from where it stands. Rooted is a body of work built on that belief.

Honorable MentionHonorable MentionThe Oasis Cultural Center

ecOASIStem

Oasis, a word that brings so many concepts to one’s mind in climatic, social, lifestyle, historical, and financial fields, thus many of our ideas came from there. An oasis is a place in a desert that contains water, supplied by a spring or another underground water source. This word is a symbol of both fear and hope. Fear of desert, dehydration, wild nature
