Palimpsest • \PAL-imp-sest\ • noun = Multiple Layers.
The Architectural History revealed when a building is destroyed, removed or altered,
exposing all of the painted surfaces, wall textures, bricked in windows & doorways.
Humans are builders.
And-
"REAL ESTATE" is a finite reality (Commodity).
Quite often what one man builds - another man tears down
....and often in the process reveals something unique
about the past occupants.
What was there........?
Architects imply Palimpsest as a ghost—an image of what once was.
In the built environment, this occurs somewhat often.
Whenever spaces are shuffled, rebuilt, or remodeled, shadows remain.
Tarred rooflines remain on the sides of a building long after the neighboring structure
has been demolished;
Demolished Stairs, leave an imprint of where the painted wall surface stopped.
Dust lines recall a relocated appliance.
Ancient ruins speak volumes of their former wholeness.
Palimpsests can inform us, archaeologically, of the realities of the built past.
This sign has traces of Criterion matches and Redfern's (famous for their rubber soles), overlaid with Nestle's Milk, richest in cream.

Wupatki National Monument in Arizona is about a 45-minute drive east of Flagstaff. The park boasts 35,000 acres, encompassing roughly 2,500 documented archaeological sites. While you won’t be able to see them all or even be allowed to, it’s worth a trip here to see the highlights, and it’s a good time to go. The elevation of the park is about 4,700 feet so weather forecasts call for average daily highs in the 80s through most of September.
The monument’s most visited sight is Wupatki Pueblo, one of the finest ancient sites in the region. This village is associated with the Cohonina, Sinagua and the Kayenta peoples, all thought to be ancestors of today’s Pueblo people. A self-guided tour, over a half-mile loop, is the way to get to know the pueblo and the surrounding grounds.
This pueblo was built on a rock outcropping of red sandstone. It is thought to have started out small, perhaps as early as 500 A.D. After a volcanic eruption of what now is called Sunset Crater about 21 miles away, the settlement grew. This was due to the ash being sprinkled around this area, which helped keep the moisture in the soil, making it better for growing crops.
Lovely palimpsest. Most of this sign is undecipherable but "Nautical ??? Compass and navigational supplies" can be made out.
Peintre, sculpteur, graveur et dessinateur, Julien Marinetti est un artiste qui s’est fait connaître en fusionnant la sculpture et la peinture, qu'il appelle "syncrétisme de l'art". Ses sculptures en terre, comme les bouledogues, pandas, pingouins et crânes, ont été ensuite transformées en bronze. Depuis 15 ans, son oeuvre phare, Doggy John, est devenue une icône et est exposée dans des villes prestigieuses à travers le monde, comme Paris, New York, Londres et Singapour, pour le plus grand plaisir des spectateurs.

Si l’influence cubiste de Picasso se ressent dans son travail, puisqu’il représente une de ses inspirations majeures, Marinetti mélange les styles pour un résultat unique, particulièrement palpable dans ses sculptures d’animaux géantes et colorées. Chat, chien, panda, et même Casimir, ces drôles de bêtes à l’apparence arc-en-ciel portent un nom tout aussi singulier, les Juliengoths, comme une sorte de descendance imaginaire de Julien Marinetti.

DOGGY JOHN – Nous retrouvons la pièce iconique de l’artiste, sphinx des temps modernes contemplant le monde. Sous la forme d’un bouledogue français, représentant amour, protection et loyauté à son maître, se cache un regard acerbe et sans concession sur ses contemporains. C’est en 1998 que l’artiste imagine son célèbre Doggy John, en huile sur toile d’abord avant de s’affranchir des dimensions de la peinture pour prendre les formes rondes que lui offre la sculpture. Julien Marinetti donnera naissance à ce qu’il appellera ensuite le « syncrétisme de l’Art » à la fois peinture, gravure et sculpture. « Le chien est le catalyseur de mon syncrétisme de l’art, c’est-à-dire de sa totalité. Ce que je fais est bien du syncrétisme puisqu’il y a bien de la peinture, de la sculpture et de la gravure. Il y a aussi des vernis, des laques : je touche à pas mal de choses qui n’ont normalement rien à voir les unes avec les autres. » Julien Marinetti aime à penser aux moines copistes du Moyen Age, dont les palimpsestes nécessitaient eux aussi qu’ils reconditionnent le support original en grattant d’anciens parchemins.
"In textual studies, a palimpsest is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that the page can be reused for another document. "

I love what gets exposed / revealed when "Urbanization" occurs...the lovely patina, and stories of time.

The Greek Revival-style Bragg-Mitchell Mansion, built in 1855, is one of the most photographed buildings in Mobile, Alabama. Judge John Bragg built the mansion for his wife to enjoy during the Mobile social season – Thanksgiving through Mardi Gras. The home’s massive double parlors, sweeping circular staircase, and grand rooms encapsulate the height of Southern social entertaining.
The stately mansion sits under a canopy of century-old oaks draped in Spanish moss, though during the Civil War, they cut down all the live oak trees and put canons on the front lawn to help defend against any approaching Union troops. During this time, Bragg was so concerned about Union troops attacking his mansion that he moved all the furniture to his plantation outside Montgomery.
Ironically, that plantation was burned down in Wilson’s Raid, and Mobile never became the battleground it was expected to be, leaving the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion to become the city icon it is today.
