I would like inhabitants to live in an impermanent space and gain acceptance in the experience of materials being aged. I see it as aesthetic feature in space. We must rid of timeless materials; let bare and exposed materials be a platform and a media to tell a story through time which ages along us. Embed subconscious traces and "drawings" of our daily routines and surroundings which include natural elements that form a layer of patina to signify traces.
