ECHOES OF A HOME


JOËLLE BLOCH ADJOVI




What happens to the memories of a place when its buildings are replaced?  

Within this project I show the impact of gentrification on the architecture of Budapest's 8th district. While buildings are being replaced, stories and memories of the people who lived here for decades are simultaneously being erased alongside the physical structures they once lived. When speaking to the residents, they touched upon feeling an abrupt change that has ended generational cycles of lived experiences. In this project, I delve into the significance of memories and examine how this loss is reflected in its architecture.
