Topic 3: (UPDATED)

Thesis Statement:

“Space’, loss of ownership, breaking the walls of isolation and getting back to its original essence.”

Abstract:

Dramatically changes happen in society from last decades where communal spaces are losing their ownership and essence. Can a communal space still support society in these modern times?

Space of my courtyard used to have an evening tea for my whole family, and there surrounding space is used by children for playing, so children were playing in the supervision of parents, and it is guided play space, another example where old_mans used corners of streets for gathering and providing sense of security to that street is now part of insecurity. Example of playground where youngsters are active to achieve physical activity is becoming a part of digital world. Parks were used as breathing space between dwellings but now it’s becoming a part of isolation from society. In rural context spaces like bethak, Autaq, kachehri and hujra also were used for resolving issues of society.

Since individualism born we are getting isolation from family and creating boundaries between generations. Spaces are being threatened by loss of ownership by communal groups.  

Can there be a recreation of broad scale community spaces in a modern urban context that incorporates both the strengths of tradition and modernity?

Terms of Inquiry:

Part of study will inquire;

Can architectural integration with tradition and modernity become a part where it brings individual and society together?

Will a simply designed sitting space to a centralized urban space can leave impression?

Well thought space can be a priority for individual to connect society?

If Change happened by isolation then how architecture can change expression through interactive space?

How we can understand and getting back sense of ownership?

How we can achieve lost essence of spaces around us?
