Of
the
thesis
entitled:
Negotiating
Boundaries
The
Veil:
The
Appearance
of
the
Invisible
Abstract:
The
chador
is
more
than
a
matter
of
taste
in
clothing
or
a
religious
regulation;
it
is
the
incarnation
of
a
belief,
a
culture,
and
a
tradition.
Intermingled
with
it
are
the
profound
emotions
of
the
women
who
have
been
either
voluntarily
or
forcibly
practicing
the
wearing
of
the
veil.
The
intention
of
this
thesis
is
to
allow
one
to
see
the
chador
as
an
extended
threshold
that
both
invites
and
rejects.
By
concealing
the
body
of
the
woman,
the
veil
establishes
a
complex
relationship,
repelling
the
external
world
while
simultaneously
drawing
attention
to
itself.
In
passing
through
this
threshold,
one
will
begin
to
see
the
invasion
of
colors,
-
blue
as
sacredness,
white
as
peace,
and
red
as
rebellion
gradually
dispersing
into
the
air
and
onto
its
monotonous
black
surface.
In
this
in-between
space,
brightness
battles
with
darkness,
as
it
tries
to
trickle
in
through
the
minimal
openings.
One
may
begin
to
wonder
if
a
woman
is
protected
as
if
in
her
house,
or
bounded
as
if
in
a
cage.
One
will
thus
find
herself
with
a
sense
of
uncertainty
-
whether
to
stay
or
to
leave.
This thesis aims to explore the chador and the space between it and the body of the woman. The chador has been constantly questioned from both cultural and religious perspectives. It creates a specific space that, from an architect’s point of view, requires an investigation as an externally imposed and yet zone. As a physical manifestation of the chador, this thesis proposes a theatre in which the journey from the entrance, vestibules, and galleries, through the stage, and into the house will allow one to experience and assimilate the senses buried within the veil and the body of the woman.

Of
the
thesis
entitled:
I
love
my
house.
I
am
my
house.
Abstract:
My
first
experience
of
architecture,
a
nearly
universal
case,
was
that
of
the
house
I
grew
up
in.
A
century
old,
black
&
white
clapboard
farmhouse
outside
of
Kingston,
Ontario
was
where
I
called
home.
Having
grown
up
and
left
it
behind,
I
find
I
have
developed
a
certain
amount
of
nostalgia
or
homesickness
regarding
my
mostly
positive
memories
and
recurring
dreams
that
take
place
there.
The
house
is
not
lost,
in
fact
my
parents
still
live
there,
and
I
return
several
times
each
year
to
retrace
my
childhood
rituals,
sleep
in
my
old
room,
dream
in
my
old
bed,
eat,
play
and
reminisce
in
my
old
home.
I
can
return
to
my
home,
but
not
my
childhood,
and
yet
the
two
seem
inseparable.
This
space
houses
my
dreams
and
memories
of
childhood;
floorboards,
doorknobs,
and
wallpaper
are
all
triggers
for
recollection,
the
ornamentation
of
the
home
is
a
connective
entity
into
my
past.
As
my
parents
grow
older,
they
are
finding
they
don't
want
to
be
so
isolated,
alone
in
a
house
too
big
for
just
the
two
of
them.
The
possibility
of
them
selling
the
house
looms
heavily
on
my
mind.
I
don't
want
to
lose
this
special
place.
This
is
a
study
of
the
way
in
which
an
individual
becomes
bound
to
architecture,
psychologically
and
physically,
using
the
home
to
which
I
feel
so
connected
as
a
guide.
I've
grown
apart
from
my
house
in
the
years
since
I
moved
out,
and
much
of
the
connection
has
been
broken.
In
place
of
this
connection,
at
my
return,
there
is
a
certain
sense
of
the
unfamiliar
in
this
familiar
space.
How
can
I
make
this
intangible
connection
both
apparent
and
relevant
to
someone
else?

Of
the
thesis
entitled:
I
love
my
house.
I
am
my
house.
Abstract:
My
first
experience
of
architecture,
a
nearly
universal
case,
was
that
of
the
house
I
grew
up
in.
A
century
old,
black
&
white
clapboard
farmhouse
outside
of
Kingston,
Ontario
was
where
I
called
home.
Having
grown
up
and
left
it
behind,
I
find
I
have
developed
a
certain
amount
of
nostalgia
or
homesickness
regarding
my
mostly
positive
memories
and
recurring
dreams
that
take
place
there.
The
house
is
not
lost,
in
fact
my
parents
still
live
there,
and
I
return
several
times
each
year
to
retrace
my
childhood
rituals,
sleep
in
my
old
room,
dream
in
my
old
bed,
eat,
play
and
reminisce
in
my
old
home.
I
can
return
to
my
home,
but
not
my
childhood,
and
yet
the
two
seem
inseparable.
This
space
houses
my
dreams
and
memories
of
childhood;
floorboards,
doorknobs,
and
wallpaper
are
all
triggers
for
recollection,
the
ornamentation
of
the
home
is
a
connective
entity
into
my
past.
As
my
parents
grow
older,
they
are
finding
they
don't
want
to
be
so
isolated,
alone
in
a
house
too
big
for
just
the
two
of
them.
The
possibility
of
them
selling
the
house
looms
heavily
on
my
mind.
I
don't
want
to
lose
this
special
place.
This
is
a
study
of
the
way
in
which
an
individual
becomes
bound
to
architecture,
psychologically
and
physically,
using
the
home
to
which
I
feel
so
connected
as
a
guide.
I've
grown
apart
from
my
house
in
the
years
since
I
moved
out,
and
much
of
the
connection
has
been
broken.
In
place
of
this
connection,
at
my
return,
there
is
a
certain
sense
of
the
unfamiliar
in
this
familiar
space.
How
can
I
make
this
intangible
connection
both
apparent
and
relevant
to
someone
else?

Of
the
thesis
entitled:
I
love
my
house.
I
am
my
house.
Abstract:
My
first
experience
of
architecture,
a
nearly
universal
case,
was
that
of
the
house
I
grew
up
in.
A
century
old,
black
&
white
clapboard
farmhouse
outside
of
Kingston,
Ontario
was
where
I
called
home.
Having
grown
up
and
left
it
behind,
I
find
I
have
developed
a
certain
amount
of
nostalgia
or
homesickness
regarding
my
mostly
positive
memories
and
recurring
dreams
that
take
place
there.
The
house
is
not
lost,
in
fact
my
parents
still
live
there,
and
I
return
several
times
each
year
to
retrace
my
childhood
rituals,
sleep
in
my
old
room,
dream
in
my
old
bed,
eat,
play
and
reminisce
in
my
old
home.
I
can
return
to
my
home,
but
not
my
childhood,
and
yet
the
two
seem
inseparable.
This
space
houses
my
dreams
and
memories
of
childhood;
floorboards,
doorknobs,
and
wallpaper
are
all
triggers
for
recollection,
the
ornamentation
of
the
home
is
a
connective
entity
into
my
past.
As
my
parents
grow
older,
they
are
finding
they
don't
want
to
be
so
isolated,
alone
in
a
house
too
big
for
just
the
two
of
them.
The
possibility
of
them
selling
the
house
looms
heavily
on
my
mind.
I
don't
want
to
lose
this
special
place.
This
is
a
study
of
the
way
in
which
an
individual
becomes
bound
to
architecture,
psychologically
and
physically,
using
the
home

I

Of
the
thesis
entitled:
I
love
my
house.
I
am
my
house.
Abstract:
My
first
experience
of
architecture,
a
nearly
universal
case,
was
that
of
the
house
I
grew
up
in.
A
century
old,
black
&
white
clapboard
farmhouse
outside
of
Kingston,
Ontario
was
where
I
called
home.
Having
grown
up
and
left
it
behind,
I
find
I
have
developed
a
certain
amount
of
nostalgia
or
homesickness
regarding
my
mostly
positive
memories
and
recurring
dreams
that
take
place
there.
The
house
is
not
lost,
in
fact
my
parents
still
live
there,
and
I
return
several
times
each
year
to
retrace
my
childhood
rituals,
sleep
in
my
old
room,
dream
in
my
old
bed,
eat,
play
and
reminisce
in
my
old
home.
I
can
return
to
my
home,
but
not
my
childhood,
and
yet
the
two
seem
inseparable.
This
space
houses
my
dreams
and
memories
of
childhood;
floorboards,
doorknobs,
and
wallpaper
are
all
triggers
for
recollection,
the
ornamentation
of
the
home
is
a
connective
entity
into
my
past.
As
my
parents
grow
older,
they
are
finding
they
don't
want
to
be
so
isolated,
alone
in
a
house
too

Abstract:
My
first
experience
of
architecture,
a
nearly
universal
case,
was
that
of
the
house
I
grew
up
in.
A
century

Of
the
thesis
entitled:
I
love
my
house.
I
am
my
house.
Abstract:
My
first
experience
of
architecture,
a
nearly
universal
case,
was
that
of
the
house
I
grew
up
in.
A
century
old,
black
&
white
clapboard
farmhouse
outside
of
Kingston,
Ontario
was
where
I
called
home.
Having
grown
up
and
left
it
behind,
I
find
I
have
developed
a
certain
amount
of
nostalgia
or
homesickness
regarding
my
mostly
positive
memories
and
recurring
dreams
that
take
place
there.
The
house
is
not
lost,
in
fact
my
parents
still
live
there,
and
I
return
several
times
each
year
to
retrace
my
childhood
rituals,
sleep
in
my
old
room,
dream
in
my
old
bed,
eat,
play
and
reminisce
in
my
old
home.
I
can
return
to
my
home,
but
not
my
childhood,
and
yet
the
two
seem
inseparable.
This
space
houses
my
dreams
and
memories
of
childhood;
floorboards,
doorknobs,
and
wallpaper
are
all
triggers
for
recollection,
the
ornamentation
of
the
home
is
a
connective
entity
into
my
past.
As
my
parents
grow
older,
they
are
finding
they
don't
want
to
be
so
isolated,
alone
in
a
house
too
big
for
just
the
two
of
them.
The
possibility
of
them
selling
the
house
looms
heavily
on
my
mind.
I
don't
want
to
lose
this
special
place.
This
is
a
study
of
the
way
in
which
an
individual
becomes
bound
to
architecture,
psychologically
and
physically,
using
the
home
to
which
I
feel
so
connected
as
a
guide.
I've
grown
apart
from
my
house
in
the
years
since
I
moved
out,
and
much
of
the
connection
has
been
broken.
In
place
of
this
connection,
at
my
return,
there
is
a
certain
sense
of
the
unfamiliar
in
this
familiar
space.
How
can
I
make
this
intangible
connection
both
apparent
and
relevant
to
someone
else?
