After collecting the pictures of demolished buildings and cubism paintings, I decided to explore the relationship between the two, which I concluded that fragmentation is one of the common features used to show the complete object. More specifically, I am interested in using fragmentation to represent the change of time.

For the drawing, I “unfolded” my neighbor’s house in sunset district, San Francisco, using the plans, elevations, isometric drawings to combine in a way that appear to be “fragmented”, while showing as much as the house as possible, as opposite of “breaking apart”. It shows the images of the houses as we travel to different sides, the imprint of the section next to the house suggests that there was something from the past, and the shadows on the roof are from possible buildings in the future.
