Practices of Care: Cycles of Inhabitation

Approaching architecture as a condition that continues after construction, the session examines how buildings are reworked through inhabitation, maintenance, and acts of overwriting.

Treating the existing as layered rather than fixed, it focuses on intermediate states, representational practices, and the often invisible labour of care. Transformation is framed as cumulative and non-extractive, where circularity lies in accommodating change and sustaining reuse over time.
