• The methodology of material auditing
• Tutor: Ville Lausmäe

If a building is demolished, it doesn’t disappear from the world, it becomes waste. But in fact, it is possible to map, dismantle, certify and recycle it. I am not trying to create something new in this world with my project, rather I am drawing attention to what is important and what interests me. I bring into play such a profession as a material auditor and play it out on the former courthouse at Liivalaia 24. The task is to go to a discarded object before demolition and map out the materials that could be reused on the same or another object. As an interior architect, I try to reuse these elements and create a space.
