Some Ideas:

- Fusion of different archival material with my photographs, this semester stuff (architects plans for Institute maybe)- multi-temperal display reflects the building's (and any site's) mulit-temperality.

-Aim of the output would be to provide a visual archaeology of the building- something that conveys our approaches to the building this semester, as well as the stages and transformations the building has been through since 1840, and the way it all its past comes together today, and is simultaneously about to be wiped out in the gutting.

-How much of the building's past will eb carried forward in its existence as the Institute?

-How can we make sure that the people in the building's history are represented in the output? It's easy to focus on the physical building and the archival materials (which focus again on materiality, except maybe for the few photos that depict students/people).

-Are we creating a virtual archaeological site on the wiki?
