Light, shadow and shade are at the foundation of our cartesian understanding of 3D space. Where light falls on matter the difference in shading allows us to see this space. However, light also breaks this understanding creating the potential for a phenomenological understanding instead. Which is seen with an extradimensionality in certain situations, where space does not make sense. In this moment, where matter falls on light, the very fabric of the world is distorted. This thesis investigates what happens in between these moments, the infinite movement within the finite moment. The spatial implications of the movement between states are echoed in the material approach, where the relation between figure and ground is investigated and reversed. The polished building and the resulting quarry become the polished quarry and the resulting built form. Creating a monolithic structure, suspended in different states, at once a careful balance between addition and subtraction and between matter and light as principal shaper of space.
