Gathering

Other conference contribution, 2025

This presentation explores an architectural practice grounded in the gathering of reclaimed elements and materials. This approach carries several implications: it expands the notion of site to include material flows; it conditions the design process through the unpredictability of material availability; and it invites a reassessment of found materials, valuing them both for their potential and their provenance. In this context, design becomes an act of locating, interpreting, and assembling components with diverse origins, histories, and temporalities.
