Light and shadow transitions

Abstract

Transition is the movement between the past and the future. In architecture, transition is both temporal and spatial. It is the interstitial space where changes happen. A thoughtful architectural transition prepares for journey ahead by intensifying aspects of space and relating it to the before and after. In the analogous the trifold structure of time and tenses, transition could be designated as the present, situate between past and future. Transition is always assumed as a space that connects the two other spaces. The thesis claims that a building functions better with a thoughtful transition. It is based on an assumption that a well-considered transition is an architectural offering to better comprehend change.
