This project explores how construction materials, once used for building, can function in everyday contexts as they are. It focuses on their materiality, flaws, and potential for new or temporary uses. It begins with a study of minor urban occurrences in public streets, establishing the idea that structures for sitting, leaning, or placing things in the street do not necessarily need to be chairs or tables. Instead, unused and out-of-place objects found in urban environments often take on random forms, adopting functions far removed from their original purpose.
Building materials are primarily intended for permanence, but this project explores their potential to function within everyday contexts. Defective or discarded materials are examined not as components of construction but as objects in their own essence. Through individual exploration or combinations, the process investigates their materiality, objecthood, and potential for unprecedented uses in daily life. The study delves into how shapes, curves, and traces of defects might embody new functionalities within everyday scenarios.
Ultimately, the project confronts the impossibilities that arise during the process of reuse — objects that may fail to function, create mismatched combinations, or cannot form cohesive assemblages. Through these experiences, the project explores the nature of materials, once intended as components for construction, as individual objects that can be moved, transformed, or erased, while addressing the failures inherent in these objects and their interactions.
