The project investigated Grenfell Fire through reconstruction of the aftermath using photographs and testimonies available in open sources. The 3D and 2D reconstructions were then analysed from the point of the building being home to many people.

The relationship between home and a person is important in one’s life. It helps us define who we are, where we belong. Therefore, when one’s home is suddenly absent, it is not just painful, it is disorientating.

In order to help people to get over the mourning the project aims to demolish the building in such a way as to allow people to see/visit their dwellings for one last time and say goodbye or just remember the things past. After that the spot gets cleared with only a trace of the event left, a trace that helps to remember and doesn’t let to forget. The further life of the project is to let public understand the connection between dwelling in home and the dwellers through projections of the tower inside of the temporary pavilion that can be reconstructed elsewhere.
