Time-capsule Transcripts. An experimental taxonomy of forms as a vehicle for a design operation

The project for an architectural time-capsule was born in 2019 from a common interest of three doctoral students concerning the themes of time, crisis, and catastrophe. What was initially felt as an idea sui generis ended up being an extremely pertinent reflection of our contemporaneity, above all due to the appearance of new and more dramatic events such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, bringing out the awareness of the need to preserve our existence traces, away from their probable disappearance: hence the need to question ourselves on how to address this issue in architectural terms.
