Creating a monastic landscape to reconnect with one's consciousness and heal the mind in a digital world.

 

Amelie Badesha

Amelie is a 3rd-year architecture student whose approach integrates lessons from the past with narratives grounded in speculations about future challenges. She aims to transform traditional architectural tropes into playful spaces, focusing on public interaction and industrial processes. Her design process emphasises hand drawing, iterative testing, and holistic sustainable strategies.

LIMINALITY- The Defeat of Evolutionary Anthropocentricity

Unit 4C envisions new futures for sites through poetic narratives and conceptual sketches. These tools study topography and atmosphere, aiding in designing interactive spaces that respond to their environment. 

As natural and artificial realms blur, and humans and machines merge, we see human life as a form of artificial intelligence, revealing our capacity to shape new realities. Amidst this convergence, my project in Bath's old railway Combe Down Tunnel proposes a meditative retreat for "rehabilitation." It counters technology-induced dependency and promotes autonomy, functioning as a monastic landscape to reconnect with one's consciousness. It serves as a therapeutic tool for healing the mind in a digital world. Below this retreat, within the existing tunnel lies a contrasting microchip factory and insertion where individuals can become fully digitally connected. Essentially, the retreat acts as the final barrier against a dystopian vision of complete digital connectedness.
