Neglected, decaying, and abandoned places are numerous and arise from various causes. They negatively impact the overall perception of the space and affect visitors, tourists, and residents. While the owners of these areas search for possible solutions (or sometimes deliberately leave the spaces to their fate), this often takes years. During this time of searching for solutions, the buildings gradually deteriorate and remain in a desolate state, losing their cultural and historical value. The foundations left to us by our ancestors consist mainly of values, heritage, and wisdom from the past. They are not just ordinary stones and bricks; caring for this heritage is our responsibility.

The aim of this work is to find suitable solutions to this problem so that abandoned places can start being functionally and temporarily utilized. It is important to note that the goal is not to save individual buildings or monuments but rather to highlight their deteriorating condition and provide temporary uses for the space until a decision is made about the future of the neglected property. The result of this work is a proposal for modular structures that ensure the neglected space is accessible to the public until renewal, demolition, or another solution occurs. The structures are part of pathways placed both inside and outside the buildings. The proposed assembly of structures brings vitality to the environment and raises awareness of the dilapidated objects, which is also the aim of this work—to draw attention to the ongoing issue of decay and to support the preservation of monuments and buildings.

I believe that in the future, such places will be remembered by people as those (un)forgotten and unforgettable ones.
