People often experience spaces that distort or manipulate their perceived depth, scale, and orientation, where what is seen does not fully align with what is physically built. This project is grounded in an interest in those perceptual conditions, examining how architecture can construct and intensify such experiences. Theater becomes the medium for this investigation, serving as a space where perception is already heightened and collective.
Through the use of forced perspective, the stage is designed to manipulate apparent depth, while the geometry and orientation of seating and surrounding architecture produce varied sightlines and spatial readings. As a result, each viewer occupies a distinct perceptual position, experiencing the same performance through different spatial and visual conditions. Rather than treating forced perspective as a visual trick, the project frames it as a spatial effect generated through geometric relationships, using architecture to actively shape how space is understood.
