The sketches on the above right, from left to right, show the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, Turkey, a sarcophagus and statue from the Egyptian Historical Museum in Cairo, Egypt, and the caryatids at the Parthenon Museum in Athens, Greece.

My travels in Egypt and Turkey, also inspired my senior capstone collection entitled Women of Alexandria, Having been overwhelmed with memories of my various experiences, I have learned that memories are not photographic; they are entities that exist perfectly within our minds yet lose shape when physically manifested. My work currently seeks to capture this elusive quality of memory using paint in such a way that is not constructive, but becomes simply an atmospheric record of feelings, objects, and spatial form. The specific memories contemplated for this body of work consist of a few powerful interactions with various women in Egypt. By keeping this notion in mind, the atmosphere itself, manifested as part of the memory, becomes veiled.

This thesis project was intended as an exploration of how the built environment can become a part of cross-cultural conflict mediation. My work was heavily influenced by the work of authors and architects such as Lisa Findley in Building Change: Architecture, Politics, and Cultural Agency, Alain de Botton’s The Art of Travel, and Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio in their book entitled Back to the Front: Tourisms of War. Research led me to the Kashmir Territory (otherwise known as Jammu and Kashmir) in northern India due its constant conflicting rage between India and Pakistan. The images at the right illustrate an analysis of the conflict as well as the peoples that exist there.

The program of a train station/market was developed due to the notions that travelling causes one to be more vulnerable and aware of new peoples and customs, and markets and bazaars provide authentic experiences of said cultures. By mixing the two, there is an opportunity to allow different people from different parts of the world to interact with one another.

The site chosen was a college town of Sopore, about 20km northwest of the summer capital of Srinagar. This location offers many travel opportunities for tourists, including several nearby ski resorts. The degree college also draws students who often travel by train from many nearby towns The pre-existing train station was recently burnt as part of a protest in August of 2010, making it the ideal location to test these ideas.

HOW CAN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT SOLIDIFY OR EMBODY A CULTURE THAT HAS BEEN SYSTEMMATICALLY INVISIBLE?

HOW CAN ONE FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN SECURITY AND FREEDOM THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BUILT FORM?

HOW CAN THIS PROJECT FACILITATE SOCIAL INTERACTION THAT INCREASES AWARENESS OF, AND IS SENSITIVE TO, THE CURRENT STATE OF KASHMIR?


16/17

Formal and aesthetic consideration led to the organizational structure based on pattern commonalities among the various cultures, as well as the reinterpretation of the local wood-carving trade into a hollowed and elevated building envelope that houses the station’s programmatic elements.

Spatial volumes are composed in a way that enhances the juxtaposition between spontaneous, freedom-based market spaces and the intimidating oppression of the station security offices. Also, circulation is woven through the station and market, which are both often locations of protest in Kashmir, and are organized to allow freedom of movement by all users.

Main spaces, such as the cafe, market stalls, and station platforms, are programmed to be used by a mixture of tourists, students travelling to the nearby college, as well local inhabitants of the area. These spaces are also oriented to enhance views of the surroundings mountains, the street activity, and the massacre site...all spaces of cultural significance.
