ABSTRACT

Architecture and conservation are perceived in the contemporary Western world as disjointed, even entities. Instead they need to be merged into a hyphened practice of built conservation, moving beyond a mere juxtaposition of neighboring elds. A crucial element to be considered for the actualization of a hybrid merging is architecture’s fourth dimension. By rediscovering the temporal dimension of making, both buildings and drawings could be newly interpreted as a slow fasttrack, an unnished work-in-progress by multiple authors, rather than as the product of a singular epoch and author.
