Through the initial research of Aldo Rossi’s residential project and consider it reborn with Maxxi as both a typological instrument and an architecture exhibition. The project provides a new read into both projects with an unexpected constitution through a series of planar and formation collage of the existing space. The result formed a new entity that from the context of its birth yet uncannily unfamiliar, complex yet unclear.
 

By constructing Maxxi back to what was originally proposed, unexpected interactions occur to become opportunities for a new formation and integration within the context of the museum. A blunt use of facade from Rossi’s unbuilt project, which was also an adapted model from a built project, creates a condition of Maxxi becoming an object on display as opposed to its original response to its context.
 

The truth is, this temptation to mould an outcome of accidental possibilities has led to an indefinite circle of hesitation. In lots of ways, ‘The confluent of possibility’ did not stand perfectly at the deadline but rather realised through the whole documentation of the total work during the semester.

Maybe, some project may only exist in the process...
