Unchanged Place

Architectural blueprints are a form of promise. Just as blueprint symbols created two centuries ago remain in use today, we can discover what truly stays unchanged through these technical drawings. While a building that begins with a single sign may morph in its physical design over time, the essence of the people who pass through it remains constant.

Unchanged Place

This poster reconstructs the blueprint of the old London City Hall, designed by Norman Foster (2002). Rather than merely tracing structural walls, the design reimagines the blueprint based on the fluid 'people pathness' and flows of those who inhabited the space. By layering this human trajectory onto the iconic spiral architecture, this piece explores the enduring relationship between permanent structures and transient human presence.
