An urban-periphery conflict creates a dialogue between temporal societal and materiality situations in Dobrotino, a depopulated village in Bulgaria. Its landscape is left in ruins and exemplifies a cultural condition typical for Eastern Europe. This project aims to construct a palimpsest landscape through participative, cyclical architecture. Self-built nomadic residences register political, technological, and environmental shifts through their built form, creating a learning architecture at various speeds.

The primary structure appears as a minor detail, whereas the secondary structure - clay walls - initiate a set of valued instruments that are key for the project. Thus, creating a space involves composing an amalgamation of different ecologies that grow independently, yet retain evidence of their authors. Those most appreciated elements embody a relationship with time that often transcends their practical agency. Although the preservation of components is confronted with phenomenal time, fostering a reciprocal relationship between weather patterns and human interaction ensures the continued ecological expansion.
