DISPLACED IDENTITIES - "Anonymous anti-pavilion for the displaced"

This thesis envisions an anti-pavilion where visitors are drawn into the stages of displacement, immersing them in the profound realities of identity loss and forced displacement. Designed as a reflective, experiential space, the anti-pavilion becomes a vessel for understanding, conveying the complex emotions, resilience, and challenges faced by the displaced. Through structural expression and sensory engagement, visitors confront the isolation and vulnerability experienced by marginalized communities, challenging their own perceptions and fostering an intellectually stimulating experience. This project aims to humanize the displaced and inspire a more compassionate view of identity and belonging in a world often shaped by privilege and exclusion. The main aim is to represent a nation of people without a nation.

The master plan of the land of the displaced consists of 3 stages: Memory, Limb, and Departure.

Memory represents the trauma of the displacement event, storing the memories of the displaced and their identity before the displacement. It's an interactive module where visitors can share their memories.
