The project is sited amongst the ruins of an industrial landscape. The site’s only inhabitant is a carpenter, who has lost his wife and son to a bloody civil war. Two craters on the site mark the beginning and end of the war’s destruction. These geographical wounds become the centers for a rebirth of material as the carpenter carries out a ritual of planting and harvesting trees in them. The carpenter’s workshop is located in the only remaining room of the decaying factory. The excavated dirt from the workshop forms several earth mounds that erode away over time, reinforcing this notion of a temporal landscape. Recalling the religious symbols from his youth, the carpenter sets out to construct a series of crosses. The crosses embody a primary condition of architecture: the intersection of two members. The construction of the joint holds a meaning, each detail providing a different reading of the cross. As the crosses are constructed, the carpenter carries them down the procession to the kiln. Each cross is burned for three days, as the wood for the next cross dries above. The rhythm of construction and deconstruction establishes a notion of time that is inseparable from the act of making.
