THE OVERLAP OF TIME

The settlement from Baugenossenschaft Linth-Escher in Seebach has a history of seventy-five years and now, to follow its «Nachhaltige Immobilienstrategie», the Baugenossenschaft has decided to replace the whole area. Based on observing the mockup, strolling in its surroundings as well as recording scenarios of life, this project proposes a new possibility for densification and transformation of old settlements.

This project proposes to decelerate the densification process. The construction works can be paused as needed and continue at any time. Each stage of the building process can provide various services to the local inhabitants. The harmonious scenes that happened around mockup now, the coexistence of objects from different times can also be extended.
