REMARKS:

I think about empty space - the space that light fills. Is it still empty, or suddenly full? And what happens when I place glass in its way? Sometimes it becomes part of the space; sometimes it becomes the light itself. Curiosity lives in that uncertainty - in the tension between seeing and not seeing, between control and chance. I reflect on glass not as decoration, but as a medium that reveals the invisible. Through it, we observe how light defines space, how glass alters perception, and how both stillness and movement can become ways of seeing. 

 

Curiosity-driven questions to address in the session:

● When light fills a space, is it still empty or already complete?

● What happens to light when it meets glass does it pass through, or does it stay?

● Can something invisible, like light, ever truly belong to architecture?

● Is glass a barrier, a vessel, or a moment of transformation?

● Do we understand light better by standing still or by moving around it?
