About Discussions Projects99 Journals16 Publications2 Competitions11

Religious architecture encompasses buildings and sites designed to support worship, ritual, pilgrimage, and communal faith life. Its designers must reconcile liturgical requirements, spatial traditions, and symbolic meaning with structure, climate, materials, and the expectations of the congregations who use these spaces.

Member work under this topic spans mosques, chapels, cemevis, eco-tents for pilgrimage, and renewal plans for historic religious districts. Projects also address how sacred buildings can serve wider community needs, including nursing and cultural centers, and how memory, absence, and reconstruction shape designs for places that have been lost or damaged.

#NeoSyria

In this capitalist world, what is the role of Syria today? In this "Instagram" and "Snapchat" world, where is Aleppo today? In this progressive and development driven world, who remembers Aleppo today? The project empowers Syrians to establish their Neo-Identity in the world, by provoking "Human to Human Connections" via digital technology and social media.

RETURNING

The idea of RETURNING is mentioned in different ways among different cultures, including Taoism, Islam, Persian literature, etc. Returning to our origin or God or Nature all imply existence of a circular movement that is extremely crucial. We show our concepts using the idea of Yin and Yang keeping sustainability and aesthetic considerations in mind.

The Black Taj - Presence in Absence - GPPB50

The intervention attempts to celebrate Taj Mahal as an epitome of an architectural poetry and physical manifestation of a soulful proposition of the mighty builder Shah Jahan. The obsessive insistence in refining the space that is bold yet calm, as a force that is able to penetrate and reveal the mystery of the human condition.

Remember The Cause (Understanding Karbala)

For the Muslims, Husayn's suffering and death became a symbol of sacrifice in the struggle for saving their religion, ‘Islam’. And for all Humanity his death became a symbol of sacrifice in the struggle for right against wrong, justice against injustice and truth against falsehood. Karbala may have happened 1400 years ago but it still lives in the memories.

SPHERE

The sphere is like the sacred and divine form of space. It is the final stage in the transformation of energy that follows a divine purpose. The sphere is the most efficient form to store and spread the energy. All planets and stars follow the same, as if they have a shared code of consciousness. This transformation is a manifestation of a common destiny.
