Eyes of Epoché Suspended Vision and Discovered Space

Abstract

This essay traces a research process shaped through unplanned shifts, detours, and moments of trial and error. The research did not begin with a clearly defined methodology or predetermined objective, but followed an ongoing interest in how distortions, delays, and misalignments of vision can give rise to spatial and architectural language.From this point, the research unfolded through architectural fiction, alongside theoretical and historical inquiry, image archiving, and experiments with visual apparatuses. Each attempt interacted with and influenced the others, collectively expanding the research in unforeseen ways. Within this non-linear development, the concept of the Eyes of Epoché took shape not as a fixed conclusion, but as a provisional condition, repeatedly revised and repositioned throughout the process.
