Publication Restricted The House That Remembers: Rebuilding Memory in the Wake of War(2025) Ali, Mariam Yaser; Staudinger, Lukas; Wilson, Roger; Architecture (BA); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesThis thesis explores how architecture can become a vessel for memory in the aftermath of war. Focusing on the personal loss of my grandfather’s home in Syria, it examines how design can respond to the destruction of home, and help reconstruct both physical space and collective identity. Through theoretical research and a design case study, the work proposes spatial strategies that resist erasure, preserve memory, and offer pathways for return. It argues that rebuilding is not only about shelter, but about honoring what was lost—and creating spaces where the past can coexist with healing and hope.
