in designing a structure that commands attention yet remains an ode to the unrevealed mysteries of history, we draw inspiration from the epoch of napoleon. unlike the pre-institutional archetypes that decry innovation, this concept aims to reinitiate with a fresh perspective, encouraging occupants to ponder the layers of history and thought that remain concealed within its walls. through architectural language, we explore themes that were perhaps unrevealed during napoleon's era, embedding them thoughtfully throughout the design to spark curiosity and engagement.
