Study 03 · The geometry of gaze

Corridor wraps the speaker.

A curved roof above. A narrow corridor on one side that gathers the speaker, holding the human center in shadow. Multiple floors on the other side that hold the audience — not in a single block, but distributed across heights. Eyes do not meet head-on. They meet on the diagonal, level by level, never coincident, never confronted.

What this study reveals
  • 01The corridor as a place for the speaker — a held position, neither stage nor pulpit.
  • 02The audience distributed across floors — each level a different angle of access.
  • 03Sightlines arranged on the diagonal — speech is one-directional, but gaze is woven.
  • 04A staircase along the edge: the audience can step aside without leaving the ritual.
