The third part of a series of experimental architectural drawings with computation, designing a post office warehouse on 25 Dorchester Ave., Boston, MA.
This project is built on the concepts of spatial narrative, notation, and time overlapping. The spaces are reorganized by the existing machines that deal with mails with different categories of function. In terms of the spatial sequence and the relationship among these components, each space is characterized sectionally, which reveals its nature and function simultaneously.

If space is volumetric, time is linear. But if space is changing throughout time, each moment of the spatial section overlaps with others, that creates elapsed space with narrative sequence. Human memories, like the interweaved spatial and time fragments, are scattered and flickering in life. The characters that passed might project to the features at present or in future, which blurs and perplexes the natures of space, memory, and human being.
