This is a thesis project concerning renovation frequency, material history, and time.Buildings and spaces are often renovated earlier than the end of their useful life. This renovation entails stripping history away, totally replacing it with new material. This project looks for a way to respond to material history and glorify previous work.The project contrasts time frames through context and program, infilling a series of old buildings with high end retail. Material-intensive interventions meant to last for decades contrast with retail spatial programming, in which immediate and continuous exchange is all that matters.
