Thesis Title:
Activating Abandoned Landscapes: Reimagining an Industrial Ruin as an Enclave of Freedom, Diversity and Spontaneity
Project Title:
Pumping Station Museum
Location:
Along Mission Road, KMC Work Area, Saddar Town, Karachi
User Group:
Neighboring Community, Students, Creatives and Tourists
An old pumping station, located in the heart of Saddar town, is irreversibly tied to the optimism of late 18th-century water drainage technology and the project’s subsequent inefficiency, trapped in a state of tension between permanence and decay, the future and the past. This thesis reimagines the industrial ruin as a social connector that allows people to look at the city through trace and frame of history while providing opportunities for shared public interactions.
