Within the current socio-economic and climate crises, cities have to adapt and transform their building stocks to match new pressing challenges. As MIT’s School of Architecture is moving to the Metropolitan Warehouse, a XIXth century brick storage facility, this project imagines an archive of massive brick offcuts resulting from openings in the existing structure. Within a campus’ courtyard, these monolithic wall fragments celebrate a relocation and its ‘archived’ experiences. From ruins and demolition waste can emerge a new circular material culture, giving value to weathered surfaces and exploring the potential of material reuse as an emerging form of creative practice.
