This diploma project works within a present condition where architecture and context cannot be separated. An approach where architecture manifests itself as diverse interpretations rather than a common order. A cultural landscape is a palimpsest, brought forth by the overlapping of countless different systems. By reading cultural landscapes as states of constant change, it has encouraged an idea of working with architecture as conditions that generate form. The starting point for this project is my meeting with the Lista landscape, the humans and non-humans that together create a composite condition.
Following my registrations, I made interpretations of findings in the landscape. These principles were my way into creating an architecture at Lista. How something meets a landscape and becomes part of it, is the foundation of the final proposal. The principles are based on observations at a specific moment in time. However, the landscape at Lista is always in motion, meaning the principles could change and merge over time - one could be all, and all could be one.
