The [Re]Construction Museum looks at using the materials on a heritage site to design a building that is community built with the material manipulation being the inspiration towards creating a schedule of accommodation that accommodates workshops that allow people to explore more traditional ways of making, display them and sell them to pay homage to the original materials used to create the part of the city that was lost from the physical aspect. In addition to that, attempts in reviving the social aspect of the site that was lost due to losing the original pillar of the community which is the church and introduces a new pillar that builds a community with a new purpose that being, working in the real world and specifically most careers in material manipulation heavily influenced by the construction industry.
A 3d view of The [Re]Construction Museum in activate condition as the people using the building are practicing their skills and creating objects which they view in galleries and can also be sold whilst providing temporarily accommodating those that need it until they gain their full independence to reintegrate back into society. The new feel of the building on site, has allowed more people to use the square as it creates an active environment. As a response to that, most of the streets in the area are now walking paths and cycling paths as it becomes an attraction to the visitors coming to the city.
A complete stripped-down look at what makes this museum different from others; the idea introduces three levels, the bottom level where the users are digging materials from under the ground and being manipulated to create what is displayed on the floor above it, and the top part where the user takes the steps up to be enlightened and understand where the source traditional craftsmanship comes from with a chimney that penetrates through as if to challenge the original pillar of the community; the church.
The processes that are involved which will help inform the creation of accommodation.
