Superstudio 2020 - The Pavilion of Lost Identities

As 2020 marks a decade of the ongoing war in Syria. The stories of the last stages of the continuing war have been eclipsed by the other grim news of the events in 2020. ‘The pavilion of lost Identities’ is a homage to the struggles of people in Syria.  The pavilion empathizes with their struggles and their hope to normalcy. And seeks to capture the journey of war victims. The spatial allegories of the journey embody 5 stages of their story- Beginning, Dilemma, Struggle, Reconditioning and Renewal. Designed for the annual design competition Superstudio, the work was done in groups of 4 in a span of one week.

Experiential Journey

Her journey Begins into the pavilion, 
Few steps down the trail she faces a Dilemma, 
There are paths to choose and she has to make hard choices,
 The Protagonist does not know where each of the paths will lead her to,
 She enters a labyrinth of arches and Struggles to find her way,
 The fear of being lost escalates,
 She grapples to face the truth and looks back on her journey,
 She finds hope and Reconditions with time,
 She takes the long arduous road to normalcy,
 She notices dichotomy of old rubble and White Concrete,
 She comes out of the pavilion and finds an Oasis,
 The columns and edifices are no longer shattered,
 There are no voices in her head. She is at peace, She is Renewed.
