"The project was commissioned by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF), established in 2017 to preserve, promote, and nurture the country's heritage, arts, and culture, while integrating them into the global art world and cultural landscape. Scheduled to open to the public in 2027, the museum is part of the ACDF's broader efforts to create landmark cultural institutions that engage audiences worldwide."
"According to the ACDF, the term Jadid derives from the Arabic and Persian word jadid, meaning "new." It is used to describe modern approaches to schooling and reflects a wider movement of cultural and social renewal across Central Asia. The Jadids' Legacy Museum is planned to be housed in the former residence of one of the movement's leading figures, Usmon Khodjaev (1878 - 1968), who was also the first president of the Bukhara People's Republic."
"Situated next to Lyabi-Hauz, Bukhara's 17th-century square and historic social hub, the property was donated by Khodjaev's family to the Uzbekistan Ministry of Culture to ensure its preservation as a museum dedicated to the Jadids' history and legacy. In presenting the design, the ACDF emphasized Lina Ghotmeh's ability to weave historical memory into contemporary architecture, highlighting her "Archaeology of the Future" approach."
Lina Ghotmeh Architecture unveiled images of a project to transform a historic residence in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, into a 21st-century cultural destination. The proposal envisions a museum dedicated to the ideas and influence of Jadidism, a Muslim reform movement that advocated modernization of education across Central Asia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF) commissioned the project to preserve and promote national heritage and integrate it into the global cultural landscape. The museum will occupy Usmon Khodjaev's former residence beside Lyabi-Hauz, donated by his family, and showcases an "Archaeology of the Future" architectural approach.
