This study is grounded in the displacement context of Burma, where conflict has persisted for over 75 years and continues today. It aims to raise awareness of the crisis both locally and globally, develop a process for investigating and translating memories into spatial narratives, and propose ephemeral memorials and events that support social welfare and strengthen resilience among displaced communities worldwide.

Being one of the displaced people from Burma, my own memories continually remind me of the suffering communities and urge me to provide meaningful support through my position as an architect, creating spaces that help them feel safe and regain a sense of belonging.

The research begins with drawings and recollections that recount collective events, reflecting both personal struggles and emotional experiences. Following these reflections, the methodology continues with interviews of displaced individuals from Burma, aimed at exploring their memories, suffering, and experiences of displacement. These accounts are then translated into spatial narratives that reflect their current situations and ongoing struggles through semiological interpretation.

In developing a proposal for remembrance, the approach to memorialization is rooted in temporality and community integration, derived not only from case studies, traditional rituals, and religious philosophy but also from public engagement through the Anti-gift exhibition and workshop. By applying design principles grounded in universality and relevant to both local and global cultures and values, this proposal seeks to connect with multiple displaced communities across the world and cultivate shared resilience and hope.
