This Altenative Skies Archive is more than a repository—it presents itself as a dynamic process of knowledge construction. Its purpose is to display and disseminate cultural and material heritage while remaining open to reinterpretation and evolution through the lens of the present and the future.
Built through collective effort, the archive embodies shared knowledge, weaving together multiple voices, perspectives, and histories. It is not a static collection but an ever-expanding landscape of inquiry, comparison, and contrast—a place where revision and transformation shape our understanding of “alternative skies,” the surfaces that provides us shelter or a place to stand on.
Description
Process
Organized as a constellation of spaces for content, its multiple drawers, shelves, doors and panels present a narrative that ranges across three sections:
Material Intelligence
This section explores how these horizontal architectural elements—skies—act as a space for dialogue, organization, and negotiation between material, spatial, structural, and formal conditions.
Tacit Intelligence
This section unravels relationships among systems, geographies and memory as a process of adaptation, transformation, and continuity in architectural knowledge.
Building Intelligence
This section explores the notion of “building” as a multilayered process, bridging traditional craft and modern technology.
As both legacy and hope, the Alternative Skies Archive ensures continuity while inviting new narratives. It is a bridge between generations, offering future builders, thinkers, and creators a foundation to explore, challenge, and innovate.
