dc.description.abstractThis 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.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralThis project, "A Dialogue Between Permanence and Impermanence," reimagines a hotel as a space where architecture tells the story of time. By blending enduring structural elements with dynamic features like light and water, the design creates a unique experience that reflects life's balance between stability and change. The hotel becomes more than a place to stay and it's a journey that connects guests to the beauty of what lasts and the fleeting nature of their moments within it.en
