A Dialogue between Permanence and Impermanence

This thesis, "A Dialogue Between Permanence and Impermanence," is an exploration of architecture's ability to embody time's duality—its capacity to endure and its inevitability to transform. The project envisions a hotel as a living metaphor for life itself, where the permanence of its structural essence contrasts with the fleeting presence of its occupants. Through materiality, light, and spatial transitions, the design fosters a conversation between what is lasting and what is ephemeral.
