The Collection

How long is the life of a building, and how is its value defined? The Collection Project is an act of collecting from the memory of the city and acting on the existing architectural space, to make it become a collection which belongs to the future. The purpose of the discussion is to interrogate the notion of an enduring architecture and provide a new reading idea to redefine the meaning of value of architecture from the perspective of internal quality.

The collected diagrams which are extracted from the city's history and people's collective memory is the language of the place, the miniature units of people's living habits, which will be used as a propelling factor to reorganize the existing spatial structure. The space itself is a realistic carrier of use information and tangible narrative. By introducing the building as an experiential exhibition, the three symbolic Songlines are intertwined to form a spatial network that tells the past and future of the region together.
