6 Moments: Meaning through Repetition

At multiple moments in time, the stone is given renewed meaning through the caretaking of changing personas who are invited to reinterpret their predecessor’s intent and built constructions. Each caretaker’s will to build around the stone is mindlessly repeated, losing any original meaning to the monument, assuming there ever was one. This fluidity of meaning produces an architecture that simply becomes the memory of a repeated process. This project sought to question authorship by re-positioning the architect as a kind of conductor who relinquishes the traditional demonstration of control and imposed meaning.
