The goal of this project is to reimagine Heathrow Airport as a site for restitution, and the statue of Ramses II in the British Museum is used as the starting point of our research. We aim to create intervention structures that foster the restitution process of museum objects, diverging from traditional museums in materiality, form, and purpose. Our design aims to revolutionize the traditional hierarchy of the airport, boldly asserting the imperative of restoration while revolutionizing the visa-checking process at Heathrow Airport. These initiatives serve as manifestos challenging the conventional architectural regulations governing both Heathrow Airport and the British Museum.
