Abstract
Hidden Myths is a transgressive architectural manifestation. It is a symptom of and reaction to a larger phenomenon; a series of Infectious Voidscapes that can be found throughout the city of Mashhad. Hidden Myths activates the forgotten memories of its site, through its physical catalogue of elements, procedures, and constellations. Through creating a landscape that is simultaneously full and vacant, alive and provisional, a negotiation with the nature of the Voidscapes found in Mashhad emerges, with the intention of uniting the people that reside, visit, and embody the city. It is through combining the religious cosmology of the site with everyday inhabitation, that slowly become apparent the invisible myths that are hidden within this Voidscape.
