FACULTY PROJECT AWARD 

In recognition of a fifth-year degree project that represents an outstanding resolution of a creative architectural premise.

​

PROJECT BRIEF: 

Architecture has traditionally been understood as a discipline highly tied to physical reality. This thesis questions the idea of spatial permanence as the basis of design and as its only outcome.

​

"In Passing" is an installation that aims to create an experiment in architecture's capacity to produce alternate forms of spatial experiences and construction - through the use of light as space-making material. By creating visual spaces with light's un-touchable essence, it encourages viewers to see in ways that are haptic - as if we can feel the light with our eyes. The qualities and sensations of the intangible are made tactile.
