About Discussions Projects25 Journals19 Publications4

Metaphorical space explores how physical environments can embody ideas beyond their functional purpose. Designers working in this area treat space itself as a medium for storytelling, emotional expression, and conceptual investigation.

The community examines how architecture communicates through absence and presence, geological and temporal layers, cinematic perspective, and the relationship between material form and intangible meaning. Projects range from brutalist interventions and fluid spatial experiences to works addressing crisis, memory, and perception.

Fluid Spaces

Space is consisting of multi-layers like transportation, working, living, and the Presence of every individual person. The project "Fluid Spaces" is an architectural response to all these dynamic interactions. In this project, space is created within self-optimizable fluid expanded in a 3d magnetic field based on the evaluation of all different layers.

OUR INFINITE CONSEQUENCE

This project seeks to promote a space for reflection on our scale and our role in the collective space. An experience where visitors see themselves in infinity in order to perceive their place, their actions and therefore their consequences. The space only exists in our presence, that is, it exists only because of our presence.

The empty space

"Empty space"means empty in the abstract sense,symbolizing that the theater provides a very pure background, which is given by street artists and venue environment.I apply the interface relationship and modular stage to the design and explore a suitable minimum unit and create a new viewing relationship. to adapt to any space where the design may meet.
