The building never stayed still. Its function shifted, but its matter kept listening. Time accumulated here as residue—settling into surfaces, corners, and gestures, carried by bodies that worked, waited, and gathered.
The space performs memory rather than storing it. Rooms change roles, uses overlap, and monumental artworks coexist with everyday traces. Scattered throughout the building, small tubular speakers act like capsules of the past—quiet, localized voices that surface unexpectedly, allowing fragments of lived time to circulate through the present.
The building changed its function reads architecture as a living system—one that adapts without erasing, holding multiple lives at once while staying open to what comes next.

Wiretapped walls: the house spills its secrets.
