TIME & ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

THIS ARCHITECTURAL THESIS AIMS TO INVESTIGATE THE INTRICATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIME AND ARCHITECTURE, FOCUSING ON THE CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS OF TIME IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. THE STUDY RECOGNIZES THAT ARCHITECTURE IS NOT SIMPLY A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS, BUT ALSO A REFLECTION OF SOCIETAL VALUES, CULTURAL HERITAGE, AND THE PASSAGE OF TIME. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO EXPLORE HOW ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CAN TRANSCEND TEMPORAL LIMITATIONS, RESULTING IN SPACES THAT POSSESS A TIMELESS QUALITY.
