Future Slums of Rawalpindi

All creation is temporary and ephemeral, its form is nothing more than a variable state in continuous transformation. Cities turning into derelicts. Man's inherent tendency to self-destruct, to give birth to something new by destroying what previously existed, hints towards a dying loop. Architecture is constructed by transforming nature, excavating quarries, displacing land, altering buildings, any construction simply implies some idea of destruction. It seems as if humans were made to viciously create and end forms. Forms that leave behind traces, scars and shadows of their past, revealing a life that once existed before it all turned into urban refuse, a life residing in those empty and decadent rooms, forgotten and left to rot.
Emerging in the shadows of these decaying derelicts, life starts anew.
