Abstract
LOOP
The space and composition of our open society are constantly changing within the process of dissolution and becoming. The fragmentary nature of our environment is both built memory and the future, and as a consciously perceived snapshot also a possibility, material and motivation for our own doing. To recognize fragments, missing parts, the half-finished or overgrown situations as a concept leads to the appropriation of the found material. Viewing the world "this way" is a sustainable architectural working method – it leads to tolerance, acceptance and the joyful perception of the coherence of the fragmentary.
