Spirit of Place - “Memorial to The Ancestors”

“Memorial to The Ancestors” was a project that took place in the mountains of Nepal, in a town called Namje-Thumki.

The experience of creating this structure with the locals  further guaranteed that out interactions with them would motivate them to keep their culture going and to create spaces, such as these, for future projects of their own.

Spirit of Place – Memorial to the Ancestors could be  found in articles on ArchDaily.com and also won the DC AIA Award of Excellence in the summer of 2011.
