The project explores how two narratives (Sohni Mahiwaal and Moomal Rano) come together to create a third(new) narrative dictated by the choices made by the user.
The site chosen for the project was Abdullah Haroon Pavilion, originally used as Muslim Gymkhana- a recreational hub. The area has multiple recreational hubs and two of the main hotels in Karachi, which makes it suitable for my program. Currently, the building is abandoned so with the revival of folklores it’s also a revival of this heritage gem.
