We cannot discern the passing of time by itself, but by the vestiges of what once was, and in this sense, architecture can become a vessel of time. We can envision time as a layer that's present in the spaces that we live in, only revealed to us, either in the form of tradition and its paraphernalia or by the physical marks present in the architecture. It is only through this layer that we can identify pieces of ourselves within the spaces we inhabit. It’s through this layer that we can encounter the meaning of home within architecture.

For our project we came up with the idea of analyzing the spaces we inhabit through an archaeological and anthropological lens in order to understand the history embedded in them. For the execution, we thought of a house that’s been passed on by a couple of generations and it’s through honoring the small details, the defects, the traditions and the vestiges of time present in the architecture that we try to depict this history embedded in the home and the meaning it has to the people that live in it.
