Final Concept:
It is very interesting to notice that the abandoned building serves as a shelter for people in different ways. Some like to paint graffiti here, some getting drunk or even sometimes doing drugs. I would perceive this place to be very flexible and dynamic in the sense that it does not hold any function. It serves as an ‘escape’ for these people. Most probably because it is unsurvellied.
The interesting thing about abandoned buildings is that they are not made consciously, as in no person would actually want this kind of building to be designed as abandoned. These place grow organically when left unsurveilled. These tend to exist as the ‘escape caves’ for the people, out of their daily routine.
What I find interesting about this concept is that this space also exists in our minds. We have our daily routines going on, the office, the home, cooking, laundry, eating, shopping etc. and all of this is always on our minds even when we are on the go. Imagine a space in our head where there is completely no thought, no noise. This space that we store some memories in, the ones we never want to go back to or visit from time to time. It is the transition between our other regular thoughts. It’s not something that we create on our own but it just tends to exist. Then in this space there are the old memories that get rotten over the time (like metal junk in the abandoned building). Some things in the same space that remind us of some distinct memories (like the melted wires in the abandoned building that make us go to a certain kind of nostalgia).
In this sense, the abandoned building is the manifestation of another transition space in our minds. Yet these two physical and memory worlds co-exist.
