Through this thesis, I am particularly interested in understanding the concept of Decay, how it alters existing forms of architecture
and thoughts, how it generates new forms and how it can be a motor for future intervention.
The thesis mainly discusses decay on two levels: the tangible decay and the intangible decay. The former will tackle the decay
of architectural forms: the micro elements and the macro elements. The latter will tackle the decay of stories, narratives and
exchange of thoughts among figures.
The thesis argues that decay is not a process that starts after death; it is a process that alters death and crosses it to create
new forms, and generate new unexpected events. In brief, it is a dynamic process of creation.
These thoughts will be projected on a site, Zokak el Blat. The thesis will try to map the two aspects of decay in the site to come up
with an intervention where the tangible and the intangible intersect.
