Emptiness as Resonance Space: A Transdisciplinary Reading of Intangible Cultural Heritage through Architecture, Phenomenology, and Artistic Practice

Description

Conference paper presentation: Online

Abstract: This research explores emptiness as intangible cultural heritage, arguing that cultural identity resides not in material forms but in the dynamic "resonance space" they delineate. Bridging architectural theory and phenomenology, the study employs a transdisciplinary methodology integrating analysis of ceramic vessels and photographic practice. It investigates how traditional craftsmanship and adaptive reuse prioritize spatial logic, enabling heritage to be reinterpreted rather than replicated. The findings position emptiness as an active mediator where memory, perception, and innovation converge.This research explores emptiness as intangible cultural heritage, arguing that cultural identity resides not in material forms but in the dynamic "resonance space" they delineate. Bridging architectural theory, phenomenology, and artistic methodology, it contends that identity emerges from the dynamic relationship between interiors, exteriors, and their embodied narratives. Through the dual lenses of ceramics and photography, this paper proposes a design philosophy that reimagines emptiness as a "resonance space"—a site of exchange where memory, perception, and innovation converge. By integrating artistic practice with architectural theory, this research offers a transdisciplinary approach to spatial design where emptiness, as cultural resonance, fosters continuity and innovation in a globalized world.
