Summary
The relationship between time and architecture is illuminated through the material and construction processes at the Museo de Madinat al-Zahra, revealing how these elements serve as a foundation for architectural form. The project draws inspiration from archaeological excavation, guiding its conceptualization, development, and execution. Spatial, material, and constructive decisions emerge from reflections on contemporary architecture, ancient Arab city design, and the preservation of archaeological ruins. This approach bridges modern architectural practices with historical restoration, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of time, materiality, and form in heritage conservation.
