THE REVIVAL OF GOR KHATRI: As a Social Icon in the Old City of Peshawar

Abstract

mutual spill out space between the Mandir and Masjid to a Charbagh converted into an amphitheater.that connects to the socio-cultural Centre's basement. The socio-cultural centre provides curation spaces for contemporary art forms, such as, painting, sculptures and digital art installation galleries. The building brings the past, present and future together by the coexistence of programs on different levels connected through a series of voids and ramps within the building that creates a visual experience. Interlacing Gar Khatri with the context and whiting its parameters will help form effective tectonic and event connections with the context and will generate the narrative for journey within the site invigorating different aspects of it and amalgamating them thoroughly from the advent of the site. The empty of vessel of Gar Khatri will fill up with events that attract users and thus the social influx on to the site will help revive the site's long-lost ethos of a social hub.
