I think about empty space - the space that light fills. Is it still empty, or suddenly full? And what happens when I place glass in its way? Sometimes it becomes part of the space; sometimes it becomes the light itself. Curiosity lives in that uncertainty - in the tension between seeing and not seeing, between control and chance. I reflect on glass not as decoration, but as a medium that reveals the invisible. Through it, we observe how light defines space, how glass alters perception, and how both stillness and movement can become ways of seeing. 

Curiosity-driven questions to address in the session: 

1. When light fills a space, is it still empty or already complete?
2. What happens to light when it meets glass does it pass through, or does it stay?
3. Can something invisible, like light, ever truly belong to architecture?
4. Is glass a barrier, a vessel, or a moment of transformation?
5. Do we understand light better by standing still or by moving around it?
