Houses for Haunting

Ghosts are architecture. Spaces accumulate errors and edits of their occupants over their lifetimes. Architecture becomes an active but uneven record of intimate histories: from accidental scoffs to full add-ons. Barely legible to the unfamiliar eye, we experience the collective phenomena as ghosts. Discovering forensic evidence can further uncover encoded past narratives. This approach realizes architecture not as static objects, but as a canvas for memories that live, remember, and forget; not unlike their human companions. A process of decay/forgetting and rewriting/repairing is key to situating our stories in time.
