Vancouver Library Square is reinterpreted as a repository of images – an architectural database. The building’s visual moments are treated as raw data through a process of extraction and reconfiguration. These fragments are algorithmically merged into new forms that shape a proposed building renewal and expansion. The result is an architecture born from images rather one that generates them – a recursive loop where the built form itself becomes a database, storing and projecting its own image archive. The methodology enacts the death of originality. Ubiquitous authorship renders the architect absent, simply operative, pushing the authorial ego into the background. Design becomes a mere articulation of visual information, stripped of human volition. The project stands as a monument to the dissolution of authorship, where architecture is no longer designed but generated through the automated reassembly of visual data.
