Lebanese architect\u00a0Lina Ghotmeh<\/a> has released renders of the Jadids’ Legacy Museum in Bukhara, Uzbekistan<\/a>, which will be built in the former house of the first president of the Bukharan People’s Republic.<\/p>\n

Designed to tell the story of the Jadid movement \u2013 a reformist group in the late 19th and early 20th century that operated across Central Asia \u2013 the museum will be built in a large 19th-century house that surrounds a central courtyard.<\/p>\n

Most recently a hotel, the historic house was the home of academic Usmon Khodjaev, also known as Osman Kocao\u011flu, who was a leading figure in the Jadid movement and the first president of the short-lived Bukharan People’s Republic in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

Ghotmeh<\/a> is set to convert the former residence into a museum dedicated to the legacy of the Jadid movement, which aimed to reform and modernise education across central Asia.<\/p>\n

The house was gifted by Khodjaev’s son, Temur Khodja, to the Uzbek Ministry of Culture, to become a permanent space for presenting the work of the movement and conducting research.<\/p>\n

Ghotmeh, who was commissioned by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation<\/a> to design the space, believes the project aligns with her aim to discover “meaningful inspiration” for architecture. She also highlighted the transformational work of the movement.<\/p>\n

“This project allowed me to explore the Jadid movement, whose courage to reimagine education and society \u2013 placing women at the heart of social transformation \u2013 I deeply admire.”<\/p>\n
