The aim is to investigate how photography can drive architectural design by emphasizing atmosphere over function.

Atmospheres were extracted and recombined using photocollage techniques.
A design process was implemented to create a pavilion embodying distinct atmospheres.
The pavilion design features six unique spaces, each representing a different atmosphere derived from photographs.
Evidence shown that photography can generate new architectural spaces rather than just represent them.
Photography repositions at the center of the architectural design process, influencing spatial experience.
