Project Overview

Lahore, a city with immense cultural and historical value has now become the target of a rapidly increasing urban sprawl. With time, the city has evolved outwards from its bustling center towards the potential of a new, better quality of life. If a city tends to live, eventually it must also die. Buildings in Lahore slowly become the target of abandonment, decay, ruin and obsolesce. Gradually like dead cells in the human body, these buildings crumble in spirit, causing immense loss of resources and land.

Analysing specific case studies of such buildings in the city, the work begans to document collective imaginations around these relics.
