Is an alternative way of deepening the relationship between proposing (project) and knowing, not as an analysis but as the material action of “knowing” a place. This is a coexistent process in which not only “knowing” and “proposing” are one, but “logical reasoning and creativity” are also one, coexistent from the very first instant. The designer’s intuition and experience are also present, but since the beginning, these have been there to generate relationships within places’ folded time. In the folded time approach, there are no separated phases but a network of coexistent interconnections that generate the deep knowing-proposing of the interproject.

Abstract
This chapter proposes four time operations—gleaning, grounding, stimulating, and transmuting—for practicing time within architecture as an expanded field. By exploring the relationships between the future-past-present through folded time as coexistence and lived time, these time operations unfold the ways to make interprojects for cultural landscape adaptability. First, the background that supports this research is presented, namely, why is it relevant and the main references with which this path was made concrete. Second, the meaning of time is defined as a way to understand what time practice is being deepened. Third, each operation is explored by describing the main features and procedures pertaining to gleaning, grounding, stimulating, and transmuting. Fourth, the chapter discussion continues by revealing the relationships between the operations, namely moving beyond the expected linear succession. The chapter concludes with a hypothesis of further future development as well as the main conclusion and key terms.
