The Waverton Coal Loader, residing within the same time and space, is filled with complex views that seem to mirror a retrospective of history—from the First Nations to industry, and finally returning to the community. Time and space intertwine, losing their sequence and causality. Thus, in this moment and place, the fixed binaries of history are dissolved, replaced by a complex interplay of relationships—the lost subject and object. In this context, architecture becomes a narrator, devoid of any symbols, telling the complex and overlapping relationships of the site through spatial design. The grid plays a crucial role in translating narrative into space, hinting at different stories. The abandoned Coal Loader wharf, repurposed as a site, offers its remaining steel structure as a testament to an industrial narrative about hierarchy. Space can be viewed as three interwoven paragraphs: non-hierarchy, hierarchy, and the silence.
