This collage - an overlay of sectional drawing and model developed simultaneously - explores the relationship between representation and material reality. The work forms part of a broader thesis situated in Granton, an area of Edinburgh that remains contaminated from its industrial past, proposing architecture not as a pollutant but as a filter that heals the soil. Grounded in a survey of materials likely to be released through the demolition of warehouses under the Granton Masterplan, the work foregrounds reuse as a method of design. Through layered drawing and a 1:50 tectonic model, it documents architecture as a continuously evolving process rather than a finished object. The intention was not to develop a resolved building, but to position architecture as an active design strategy in which structures return to material flows, challenging linear cycles of construction and proposing architecture as a temporary stage in this process - a form of storage within a changing landscape.
