Public building project
The Last Shelter
Area: 60 m2
Location: Georgia, Dumatskho
Inspired by the Georgian film Mother of a Locality by Goderdzi Chokheli, this project channels poetic solitude and cultural memory into architectural form. The Last Shelter explores how architecture can breathe life back into forgotten places. The film’s main character protects the village from disappearance — a metaphor that, in this project, positions architecture as a source of life for its surroundings. Architecture becomes a guardian of the past. It stands alone, yet not empty. It becomes the last place where someone might still arrive, still remember, still belong. Even when the village fades, this structure remains — like a gravestone, a monument, and a home all at once.
