In this video, at 1:09:36, there's a part about this artist called Candy Chang who stuck 'I wish this was' stickers on empty, wasted buildings and got locals to write and share their hopes of what they want the building to become.
This inspired me to an idea where I could combine this artist's idea with 'Dear Photographs'.
Example of Dear Photographs
I could do a different version of Candy Changs's idea where instead of using stickers, I could create a questionnaire and invite people to share their ideas on various abandoned buildings then produce collages using 'Dear Photographs' according to what they have said so I would visually make it come true for everybody to see what it would look like and if other people would agree.
Personally, I think it's a shame when I see an abandoned building go to waste and people kind of forgetting it because that building could have meant something to someone.
One of the ideas I thought of is to look at the history of a place like old buildings and look for a way to revive them, not make them modern or replace them because that would be taking away the history and look of the building.
