A Narration of the Accumulative Properties of Time in Space: The Synthesis of an Anachronistic Space

Part 2 Project 2020

This project explores the drawing as a palimpsest in communicating spatial change over time. It aims to rethink the drawing in space as a medium to collapse temporal hierarchy, synthesize past histories and generate anachronistic constructs.

In the age of the digital era, the non-hierarchical structure of the internet flattens any distinction of and detaches from the linearity of time. It lays out the fragments of culture as a flatland of undifferentiated parts and as a result, the construction of our built environment becomes increasingly decontextualized and often disregards traces of the past.

In search of an alternative mode of archival documentation, the project utilizes architecture as a medium in tracing the specifics of both the histories and narratives of space. The 1:1 urban drawing as a palimpsestic reality attempts to transcribe the effects of time to manifest a deeper, and more faceted reality of Statue Square.

The project challenges the curation of an anachronistic space and aims to reterritorialize these forgotten fragments of the past. It stands to generate a space that is not a single-handed representation of the present, past or future but a negotiation between what once was, what presently is and what will exist.
