Luciano MENGHINI: This project seeks to determine the corridor not as an ubiquitous volume, but as a collection of architectural elements, elements containing orientation, scale and functions, that can conform to any building typology.

The Corridor, as a blank space and boundless passage, constitutes itself as a threshold between desired programmed spaces. (this means that the corridor serves to bring people to and from destinations, serving not as a space in itself, but as one that is subservient to the other spaces in the building). This thesis explores what happens when the corridor becomes the sole & primary building element rather than a precursor to space or in-between one. By colliding a set of corridors chosen to stand as platonic, and then by aggregating them into a unified, singular, loose fitting form the resulting space is an ambiguous one that reflects neither programmable space nor circulatory space-neither destination nor passage.
