"Spatial Battlegrounds: Examining the Architecture and Urban Dimensions of the Kashmir Conflict".
Rel. Filippo De Pieri. Politecnico di Torino, Master of science program in Architecture Construction City, 2024
Abstract
Drawing from the inspiration from Eyal Weizman’s “Frontier Architecture”, this thesis aims to represent Kashmir through the same lens of analyzing the use of spaces as a tool in occupation and resistance. It aims to study spaces not just as social functional forms but rather as weapons in the context of Kashmir being the highest military zone in the world. It examines the transformation of spaces due to heavy military presence and the gradual spatial processes that led to settler colonialism. The study aims to use an interdisciplinary approach integrating urban theories and spatial critical social theories, with architecture and infrastructures acting as its assemblage units.
Spatial analysis tools like cartographic and territorial mappings are employed to understand further the political ramifications embedded within the architecture and urban forms
