Examining Scotland’s colonial legacy in India, the work highlights the impact of colonialism on vernacular architecture and traditional building techniques. Aiming to create a memorial for introspection about Scotland’s colonial past, the project explores the erosion of cultural memory and identity under colonial rule, using the site of Highland peat bogs to parallel the flat landscape of tea plantations in India. The abstracted and fragmentary design acts as an observatory of change, inviting viewers to confront these histories and contemplating my own personal connections to identity through the architectural work.
