RE_CA2
Reconsideration of Conventional Architecture in Central Asia

Pre-diploma project by
WS22/23

The RE_CA2 intends to rethink the typology of conventional architecture in Central Asia using the example of a neighborhood in the old city of Tashkent. The city's old quarters with narrow streets are the bearers of the city's DNA. Attempts to relocate citizens to modernist-designed neighborhoods have threatened the disappearance of traditional interaction forms between citizens. The project transforms low and mid-rise houses in connection with the city’s public venues.
