Real-estate has transformed post-industrial sites into economically profitable property. Their disregard for its former use and gratuitous re-layering not only fragments local space but buries urban memory. The ultimate goal of the project is to uncover a territorial narrative and disrupt the existing market logic. Disintegration of the property and engagement with the archaeological landscape will reveal the site’s former uses and its physical manipulations.
The project essentially hacks into the real-estate system and becomes an act of resistance under the guise of a luxury recreational extension. It utilises the embedded architecture to transport seawater to its pools and lake. However, beneath the surface, the buried architecture is instrumentalised to disintegrate the new soil that the property sits on. To an audience that only listens to the music of economic profit, the project uses its enemy’s strength against itself. Using excavational mapping, the marketing strategy dissolves the property from within to expose a complex terrain undulating with appropriative layers and turning points.
