As part of “way of recognition with what already exists”, the project begins by imagining past narratives after traces of existing objects. Looking at the traces of the old chair, reconstructing the narrative is imagining the narrative of the past through close observation of the present, and finding the possibility (crack) of the future narrative by recognizing the present object anew. In this way, the past and the future are reconstructed based on the present.

The Saemaul Movement has been a pan-national modernization movement in Korea since the 1970s, and the Farmers' Hall has been a key facility for educating their ideology. Before the short but powerful memory of the 70s, there existed a narrative of land, where rivers became reservoirs and then land again. However, after the construction of the Farmers' Hall, the city grew, and the area became a park, the narrative of the land stopped. The 'absence of narrative' was the fusion point here.

The project begins by changing the landscape. The solid memorial of Ideology (Farmers' Hall) will be vacated, and architectural devices built on the newly changed land mediate between landscape and the Object(building).
