The project proposes the production of devices to enhance the value or experience of a place as well as to allow research and education in history, collective memory and contemporary times of the city that we live in. Looking at the city through a specific type of architecture, concept or material, and hopefully giving an honest perspective of the space we inhabit. For this project the topic was contemporary ruins and their structural and visual values. Cataloging the timber barn, exploring it in an industrial hall and then exhibiting them on the concrete dolphins in the river, all buildings or structures created purely for convenience but have since lost all or some of this convenience, therefore becoming contemporary ruins. In the end creating structures with the purpose of learning, exhibiting them for others to learn as well; and in the end finding a place and purpose for the structure. Turning the building from a research project into a folly and then into a device for experience. Producing with the goal of learning, placing with the goal of enhancing, without designing specifically for the end product but rather for the process itself.
