This thesis, Scale of Imperfection, explores wabi-sabi as a spatial and material process rather than a visual style. It investigates how architecture can be generated through acts of repair across different scales, from joints to building systems. Through material transitions, visible joints, and deliberate acts of patching and substitution, imperfection and aging become active design strategies. Rather than restoring an idealized past, the project proposes an architecture that remains open to change, where each intervention becomes part of the design, allowing new spatial and structural relationships to emerge over time.
