This project reinterprets the abandoned New Haven Clock Company building by translating digital tropes, such as glitches, deep fry, photogrammetry, and collage, into architectural form. Informed by the building’s layered history as both an industrial site and a haven of subculture, this proposal uses these digital distortions to expose, warp, and recompose material traces of the past. Rather than restoring the factory or preserving the ruin, this project embraces historically specific methods of transformation, creating spatial opportunities for the next generation of subculture communities. The result is a hybridized architecture that resists erasure, highlights discontinuity, and defies architectural norms.
