8340 Dutch Lane is a property that sits quaintly and unsuspectingly in Payette County, Idaho. On this twelve-acre plot of land is a house that has been a home to many. It is a Sears catalog home built in 1908 after being shipped from Chicago on the railroad. Hundreds of people have entered and exited the structure; it appears some never left. It has had two major remodels, and its ownership has passed through three generations. In 2018, after serving as a vessel for the memories of the Asmussens for nearly 110 years, it was sold. One question began this investigation of one of the mysteries of human consciousness: How will it be remembered?

This project served as two things: the manifestation of a methodology to capture memory as it appears, collects, reappears, and recollects using architecture as the ephemeral lens while also treating the resulting manifestations as an archive of the experience of architecture. This methodology is centralized on the operation of translation of one thing to another: from remembering, to conversation, to drawing, to model. The transformation of recollections into spoken language which evolves into a drawn language which can then be built in the physical. The resulting drawn and modeled languages are multiple and become tools which use architectural representations to explore memory and its multiplicity.
