a museum of practice an archive to the practice of cooking. an oral archive. 

The concept of an impermanent archive offers a way to engage with nature’s constant transformation—especially within the raw, shifting landscapes of Iceland. Rather than resisting the forces of change, decay, and erosion, this project uses sculptural forms and magnetic interactions as tools to communicate with the land and to record its evolving state. In contrast to architecture’s usual tendency to deny impermanence, this approach embraces the temporal, treating nature’s marks as messages rather than threats. Can we create a living archive—one that documents the rhythms of the earth not through permanence, but through a dialogue that evolves, rusts, shifts, and responds?
