Beams of light can create volumes of darkness that help define an experience. That is an experience of darkness. Light and darkness in the enclosed space make me respond to myself. It is a canyon empty of everything, yet filled with the total absence of light. And the quality of this darkness is uniquely bewildering, what's more, a thick and viscous mass of black air that seems to brush against your face, limitless and seething. It is darkness visible. Darkness forces me to be isolated from the world. Without any external input, I start to talk to and hear from myself. As well as, I start to feel my body from top to toe with all senses except for the sense of sight. It goes slowly, and the interaction with myself, which is experiencing darkness, puts my mind in calm. In that level of calm, the experience of darkness wanes as we adjust to the environment, gradually becoming aware of people and walls and even faint shadows. This project is an attempt at designing spaces that allows a person to be absorbed in darkness. / Master of Architecture

The fundamental premise for this project was the desire to explore one of my fascinations with "movement" of space and “movement” of structure. This was somewhat a reaction to “static” boxed structures which have pervaded our eastern cities for the last few decades, and moreover, a want to inspire life into a fixed object. The work presented was a process of discovery, the most enlightening being that of "contrast". It became the key to achieve meaning My original intentions combined with changes experienced over time have resulted in a building, but better, in a transformation and another new place from which to begin. / Master of Architecture
