Memory Temple

My thesis is about creating an architectural typology for lost or forgotten Memories - A Memory Temple.

We are living in a time period where forgetting is a new normal. Ma jor tragic events are shared on social media and then forgotten. Until the next. The importance of Memory to our existence in the environment has frequently been denied in this century.1 It should be an extension of any experience.

It is possible to design a new typology using Vedic architecture for a memorial defined by the events of 26/11 in Mumbai, India, creating a new memory altogether.

Architecture from centuries has been a critical role player in memory creation and absorption depicting the past or after life events. This, has now trickled down to social media posts which can change by a scroll or a click, and our brain skips the learning process and focuses on the next post.

For example the 26/11 attacks, that killed 170 people in a few hours is now just remembered on the date it happened via Instagram or Facebook posts, and then the next post is of a cute pet playing with a toy, our brain cannot handle the two polar opposite events and creates an illusion that the event wasn’t tragic. This can be realized as nothing concrete has been done in the memory of the lost lives, the city of dreams just moved on.

Our brain creates False memories, where we feel we were present in a particular moment or place, but due to bombardment of emotions consumed on social media, a tragic event can be misinterpreted.2 2

In Praise of Shadows, the author expresses his thoughts and experiences in a non linear way but connects everything via his memory. He questions, describes and compares the western ways to his culture. He asks if the western developments suit the Japanese context and how they could develop their own science and architecture based on their cultural learnings.3 3

In Architectural Memory, the author narrates how a photograph triggered a childhood memory of his, though he had never been to this place creating false memory.

This made the author research about the place, and got to learn about Geoffry Bawa and his work De Silva House.4

To understand what exactly happened during the attacks, I watched several interviews of the survivors, documentaries and films based on these events. This exercise gave me an overview of different perspectives and got new eye opening information.

We all remember the attack by the image of the Ta j Hotel building on fire, and have generated a notion that it was the most affected place, which isn’t true. The terrorist attacked 6 sites, from which Chatrapati Shiva ji Station was the worst affected with 58 people dead in 10 minutes.5 Memory Palace - a Memorial would be distributed on these six sites in Mumbai creating a narrative. It would be in the memory of lost lives and cater to everyone who visits it.

Vietnam War Memorial, Washington DC When the architect was asked what would people do here, she said they will cry. The memorial consists of a roughly 250-foot long series of polished black gabbros walls sunk into the surrounding countryside.6 The Black reflective wall is the main highlight and is surrounded with several controversies.

The wall has been given many names as per interpretations to what it represents.

According to Maya Lin by visiting the names and locating those they knew and lost on the wall, visitors are able to evoke and reflect upon very personal, specific memories.6 Though it is a well designed and new typology for a memorial, it loses its effect because it isn’t enclosed and confined which makes it open to interpretations and loses its identity as a memorial.

Jewish Museum, Berlin Berlin Jewish museum is one of its kind building. This building is treated as a narrative by the architect Daniel Libeskind. The museum is divided into three axis.

The first Axis leads you to The Holocaust tower is a 24M high concrete void with just single light source through one small opening in the roof.7 The second axis takes you to the Garden of exile, This space creates illusion of being free, as you are out of the building, but to actually exit, one needs to go back in the building; and he grid of 49 pillars with its tilted foundation creates a disoriented experience for the visitor. The last axis is a straight path to emptiness, thevisitor needs to climb three stories and walk through metal plates, this shows the struggle of the Jew in Germany and how the voices of the dead still echo in this space.

This museum inspires me because it resonates with the idea of narrative and memory through people’s experience within the built form. The architect himself believes that Architecture is a storytelling profession which I strongly agree with.8

Ta j Mahal, Agra, India Ta j Mahal was built in the memory of Mumtaz Mahal by the Mughal emperor Shahjahan. The structure is all about beauty and its vastness to showcase his love towards his wife.

The circulation is designed to keep the Ta j in focus. Every step captures and frames it differently. There is a play of perspective, scale and layers which create an ultimate experience for the visitor.9 The entrance gate is at the perfect distance and height that creates an illusion of Ta j being a few steps away whereas it is 360 M away from the gate. The Minarets are aligned outwards so that they look perfectly straight when seen from the distance, and when one gets closer it is unnoticeable because of Ta jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scale. Thats how the architect used perspective to get perfect visuals and illusions.

The experience of visiting Ta j Mahal can be compared to the visuals of a Hichcock film using orchestration shots, i.e. a merge of Close up, long and medium shots.10 These techniques of layering, perspective and scale are currently being used for cinematography to create dramatic visuals. the local people.

Temple Architecture of India resonates with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parametric architecture. Complex forms were created using projection, staggering, splitting, repetition, integration and pictorial representation.11 Their form is divided several parts according to the function they perform.

The geometries were highly inspired by fractals. The architecture represents the cycle of life itself, the pattern grows from unity to multiplicity, tending back to unity at the same time. These cycles occur at different times, at different rates in different parts of the temple.12 12

Vedic architecture consists of several Mandalas. These mandalas are like rule books that should be followed while creating a space.

These rules are based on climatology, elements of earth, astronomy, ergonomics and sacred geometries.

Chakra Mandala represents elements present in a human body.

Each element has itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own sacred geometry associated to it.

The attacks in Mumbai, India took place at six sites simultaneously, but two of them were most affected i.e. Chatrapati Shiva ji station where 58 people were shot dead within ten minutes and Ta j Hotel where people were in seize for three days. All other sites are in walking proximity to these two.

The terrorists came through Machimar village and were spotted there for the first time by the local people.

Similar to Chakra mandala all sites can be connected to cross maidan that acts as the center.

The first site is Azad Maidan, which is next to CST and in a close proximity to Cama Hospital. I followed the geometry derived from the Air element according Chakra Mandala for planning and form derivation. The design would work as a gallery space for the things left behind by the dead. The space is treated as a mandala / collecting and gathering space. It also has a lookout for CST. Rain Water flows through the structure generating gurgling sound within the space. The water is recycled and helps watering the garden around.

Conclusion & Reflection This Thesis aimed towards finding a new typology to create a memorial for a lost or forgotten memory using a forgotten architecture style. The intent here, was not to give out a particular solution nor it is to represent a specific religion but to research, study several design approaches and test the learnings gained in the architecture course that could act as a foundation for future designs.

The results of this thesis generated spatial forms using Vedic Architecture, together they act as a memorial for 26/11 Terrorists attacks in Mumbai, India and are called A Memory Temple.

The research for the attacks included watching documentaries and films, reading interviews and news clippings, the experience made me more humble and grateful towards life, and worked as a backbone to create the ambiance for the memorial. The design generated through chakra mandala stimulates all senses in the body which leaves a long lasting impression creating a new memory altogether.

Why Vedic Architecture? The context of Mumbai city is filled with Colonial, Indosarsanic, Art Deco, modern and post modern buildings but none with Vedic Architecture, not even the Hindu temples.

The city of Mumbai never sleeps, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time that people should pause, reflect and celebrate their lives for a bit and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Hindu Temples represented, celebration of life.

Key learnings that I gained throughout this Design process are, firstly be polite, towards oneself and others, let the close ones know that you love them, no one knows what might happen next. Secondly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick on but remember your roots, it still has a lot to offer, keep questioning, learning and experimenting with it. Lastly celebrate design and life.

I could have improved upon â&#x20AC;˘ Making the structures more weather proof and cleaning friendly. â&#x20AC;˘ More experimentation with the forms.
