Blurring the Edges

The fundamental flaw of traditional spatial definition is its reliance on the rigid physical boundary.

This paradigm traps architecture in a binary state of "here" or "there", entirely neglecting the liminal state. Therefore, this thesis translates the concept of liminality into a tangible, built reality. This is achieved by blurring hard edges visually through optical fragmentation, functionally by redefining fundamental use, and experientially through dynamic geometries. Operating in a continuous state of multiplicity rather than a rigid binary, the synthesis of these elements evokes awe and a sense of ephemerality.
