We understand buildings as the perpetual convergence of diverse materials and
components — each inscribing its own temporality and, consequently, its own impact and performance. An architectural project is no longer a complete entity, but rather
a composition of resources with varying degrees of permanence.
By considering the individual components of a building as interdependent layers, we
develop adaptive strategies for both construction and transformation. This processual perspective foregrounds transformative potential and enables a new understanding
of some fundamental architectural agents such as material, construction and thermo-
dynamics.
