TechCapsule documented Banpo Jugong Apartments, which were slated for reconstruction, by compiling 3D scans and video footage captured between November 2021 and April 2022, immediately after the residents had relocated. Portions of this archival work were assembled into a documentary film, preserving the site’s final moments before redevelopment.

"During the time when all residents had left and only the management office remained operational, the film offers a view of the apartment complex through the voices of its remaining staff. It reflects on the spaces—both inside and out—that had taken root over 50 years. 

The documentary traverses overlapping layers of time, weaving together communal spaces such as the underground utility tunnels, internal roads, the management office, and parks—legacies of the 1970s, when large-scale apartment complexes were actively promoted—with the intimate, still-warm traces of life that lingered in each household. 

The film also captures the brilliant hues of the final autumn foliage and the delicate scent of spring blossoms, preserving them as part of this poignant final record."
