"Our approach to "re-sourcing" challenges the traditional methodology of utilizing virgin, non-renewable materials to reconstruct already functional spaces.

By harnessing the intrinsic value of the current urban structure, our project enhances the quality of the existing plaza, positioning the museum as an inviting cultural beacon."
