the documentation parallel is an initiative, a process, and a way of thinking. It is built around observation, dialogue and documentation, and explores both the tangible and intangible layers of heritage and culture through architecture, photography, workshops, writing and other creative mediums.

We look at architecture, crafts, people and places through their lived stories. Not only as visuals or drawings, but as experiences, sounds, memories and everyday rhythms that shape them. The aim is to understand how things are built, inhabited, forgotten and remembered.

At The Documentation Parallel, we focus on the in-betweens: the streets that connect, the pauses that hold and the everyday moments that often go unnoticed. Our work takes the form of photographs, drawings, writings and zines. We host small workshops, build conversations and design publications that bring architects, artists, writers, students and locals together on the same page.

This is not an archive. It is a growing practice of learning and unlearning how we observe our surroundings. It's about making built heritage accessible to masses.

We live, we document, we discuss.
