Rung Institute; Celebrating Pakistani Music Through Architecture

The culture of any given country is determined by their Art and Crafts. These stem from the people living in this country that form a society. This Society reacts to the times and their reactions are reflected in their Art. Music is one such form of art that expresses the emotional state. It is used to express love, sadness, happiness or even anger. If we look at the subcontinent, Sufism has had a major influence in the form of Music we perform. It gives a new direction to our composition in terms of the rich culture Sufism embodies. Sufi Poetry talks about the core beliefs of the Sufi about life and death and our relationship with our creator. This poetry is interpreted through the ages by Sufi saints in the form of Qawwali and Dance in some cultures. However, in Pakistan Qawwali has been the point of interest that has taken the hearts of our nation. This Thesis makes an effort at proposing “Rung Institute” that will be the Central point of preserving our heritage Music and making it available for future generations to come, along with providing safe spaces for the practice and learning of these forms of music. Rung Institution will also pay respect to all other forms of Music like modern, contemporary, Pop, Jazz etc. This will create a platform for our users to Celebrate Music and Transcend social boundaries to come together and collaborate.
