Cultural Houses &
Built Heritage
Infrastructure
We envision Cultural Houses as long-term institutional anchors and living spaces where heritage can be practiced, documented, taught, and experienced.
This includes vernacular architecture, heritage homes, community centers, caravanserai memory, and place-based infrastructure that connects cultural continuity with contemporary engagement.
