Hodi-Mandai Geram: A Culturally Sensitive Village for a Disappearing Ethnic Group

What if architecture reveals itself as the only vessel of memory and culture for a disappearing community? By combining Neuroscientific, Anthropological, Economic, and Psychological themes along with Participatory Community Design and Adaptive Architecture, the thesis imagines built environments that evolve with the Hodis' cultural essence.

Very effective community-based design for the ethnic groups

FLOW

"Flow" is a holistic wellness center that spatializes well-being through layered volumes and intersecting planes. Rejecting traditional closed rooms, it eliminates forced routes in favor of fluid, non-linear circulation. Strategic galleries dissolve boundaries, allowing users to experience the space freely at their own rhythm while staying connected.

Spirit Ladder

As vernacular architecture is shaped by climatic conditions, the resulting forms often assume a mythical role. Exploring structures from houses to simple altars, the concept of a spirit ladder has been derived. Can the rules established for the movement of supernatural beings also be applied in a modern facility, and what role can they play?

WOVEN WORK

Based on traditional patterns woven by Indian women, the project recalls a tradition based on manual labor as well as creative work. Because the patterns are made up of solids and voids, the project transfers them to a set of courtyards determined by the directional relationship of the weave formed by the modules and the courtyard.

The design directly faces ancient city wall and creates a spatial group just like archeological museums and ruins. Light endows interior space with a meditative atmosphere; thus, it generates features of poetic ceremony and memorial place.

The concept is comprehensible, but the site integration on the site is too stiff and forced. The program is interesting although it seems a little bit fragmented. There isn't a coherent architectural characterization between the different spaces.
