Time as Material Practice

Time as a Material Practice rethinks the interior as a lived and evolving environment rather than a static, finished image shaped by ideals of newness and permanence. The project examines how interiors register age, time, and material change through traces of use, wear, weathering, decay, and non-human activity. By understanding interiors as material processes rather than fixed objects, the thesis foregrounds care, maintenance, and adaptation as central and visible conditions of interior life. Aging and wear are positioned not as failures to be corrected or concealed, but as integral and generative processes through which interiors continue to function, transform, and gain cultural value over time.
