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

Architecture as a practice of re-grounding and restoring the sensitivity of place

This dissertation counters how globalization and ocularcentrism erode spatial identity, proposing architecture as a memory-bearing palimpsest. The framework is applied to Krakow's Krowodrza district (Poland), where a historic river landscape, once shaping a green gardening area, is now a dense city centre. By revealing 'traces of (in)presence', the work revitalizes this eclipsed heritage, advocating an "architecture of re-grounding."

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.

FLOW

"Flow" is a holistic wellness center that spatializes well-being through layered volumes and intersecting planes.

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.
