False world

There is a version of architecture that lives within drawings. Controlled plans, precise sections, and legible elevations create a version that is stated, fully communicated, and understood before the foundation is poured. There is also a version where you walk in and experience with every footstep. This graduating project explores the gap between the two. It investigates the space between how architecture is designed to be experienced in a specific way, and how architecture is felt in the body - before language, before thought. Discomfort becomes an emotional focus - not as a failure of design, but as an honest and underexplored tool. Discomfort reveals, more than any other condition, the mechanisms through which architecture shapes perception and psychology. Why does architecture suppress discomfort if discomfort is where the truth lies? Through psychological and phenomenological theory, and an experimental methodology to test it, a series of drawings and a film emerge as a spatial experiment in negative affect.
