"The Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF) appoints architect Lina Ghotmeh to design the Jadids' Legacy Museum in Bukhara, a project that reimagines the former residence of reformist leader Usmon Khodjaev as a cultural landmark. Due to open in 2027, the museum is designed to explore the ideas and influence of Jadidism, the reform movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that sought to modernize education, foster cultural renewal, and expand intellectual horizons across Central Asia."
"'Working on this museum is an honor, as it aligns with my fascination for history and heritage and my constant search for meaningful inspiration to shape the architecture of tomorrow,' Lina Ghotmeh shares. 'This project allowed me to explore the Jadid movement, whose courage to reimagine education and society - placing women at the heart of social transformation - I deeply admire.' The museum is part of a growing network of institutions spearheaded by ACDF that seek to place Uzbekistan's cultural identity on the global stage."

The commission marks Ghotmeh's first project in the region and joins ACDF initiatives such as the Bukhara Biennial, the revitalization of the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Tashkent, and the Tadao Ando–designed National Museum of Uzbekistan.
