Upon Encounters

This model of architecture attempts to collaborate the overlapping of vernacular as an instrument of framing narratives & a sense of place. Without alarm, this allows the introduction of programs within a contemporary context.

How can architecture deal with the stagnant conditions of small townships that have fallen dormant to its declining industry, paused in an era of its former peak period? What is in the next phase of development from further rural decline. This project attempts to reflect on these preexisting conditions of context and capture essential qualities that have potential to be transposed within a new direction of progression. To form an alternative architectural language for the regional area, that is in a continuum of broader relationships to our contemporary time.

The projects identify three models of internalized research. Each depicts design narratives that collectively distil ideas of architecture through past stories, sensory of place, artifacts of present and past. Individually encapsulating specific responses to the overlapping of time periods towards reevaluating the relationships significant to the community. Allowing us to speculate further questions on how we respond to stagnant rural communities.
