A place in time

The project as a whole body of work, is concerned with acknowledging that a sense of place and ownership of an architecture can be attributed through memories and interactions to the place, in the many forms these take. An inquiry was made into the relationships between the architecture and those who occupy it over its life, with the intention, to use it as a vessel between the occupants and place.

Although not new, this concept is reappropriated into our current context, conditions and dialogues faced in our discipline today. There are open opportunities within our interdisciplinary loop, for us to answer to the other clients who are not formally acknowledged through a traditional framework. These are the ones who will be future inhabitants of the building or whom may silently occupy it, therefore, it is our duty to represent their voice and consider the life beyond just the client.

Sitting alongside or within existing frameworks, this notion exists as means of demonstrating that ones ability to form a sense of place over time, irrespective of its type and scale, can commence an improvement in the accessibility to an architecture, decentralising the ownership of it and redistributing it amongst the place and to those who exist now, or those that will arrive in the future.
