Problem Statement The Tibetan people, like many displaced populations, are survivors. It can be a challenge to not reduce such history and com plexity to stereotypes. Cultural institutions and museums, by their very nature, can appear to be elite or removed from the very communities they represent. This thesis reimagines a Tibetan cultural center with a stronger connection to the community, using an interior vocabulary and programming to strengthen the connection of Tibetan people to one another, as well as informing those interested in a deeper understanding of their culture. In this sense, this environment attempts to be both present and con nected to modern life, as well as timeless.
