Studying the built I have further explored inquiries and illustrated further on how the intervention has come up. This is a building which is around 140 years old. It’s abandoned and has remnants of different elements in the building. The palimpsest nature of the building are built through different materials. All these old and new materials carrying the history of the building are coming from the source. Dilapidated buildings have debris lying around everywhere. This leads to question of what are resources? All renewable and non renewable are materials, human needs and values. 
Rem Koolhas in Junkspace says, “If space junk is the human debris that litters the universe, Junkspace is the residue mankind leaves on the planet. These materials are so ignored, that the expectation of it is very limited. Defining the material as resources. These resources laying around can be a building material instead of a new one. This not only has ecological benefit, but also adds to long term sustainability and becomes an ethical practice in conservation.
