Study 02 · The vault repeats

Each floor curves.

The vault is not held to the ceiling. Each slab inside the room carries the same dish-like curve, offset along a central vertical axis. Five strata — L1 through L3 — stack the gesture and leave the center empty. Light, sight, and sound pass through that void from the oculus to the ground.

What this study reveals
  • 01The vault as a repeated motif — the room is curved at every level, not just the top.
  • 02Five strata as an offset arrangement: alternating left and right, hung from one wall or the other.
  • 03The empty middle as a sound-and-light channel that ties every level back to the oculus.
  • 04The diagonal sightlines that open between strata — the same event read from five different heights.
