This project explores the dynamic relationship between stress and tranquility through a materials-first approach. The lamp design uses threads to symbolize stress—fluctuating, constant, or controlled—reflecting human experiences. As stress increases, tranquility decreases, but balance can be restored through conscious effort. In the transformation phase, this concept is translated into an amphitheater designed as a stress buster. The architectural construct embodies a space for relaxation and release, reinforcing the idea of controlled tension and calmness. Through iterative prototyping, material exploration, and conceptual refinement, the project captures the evolving nature of emotional equilibrium in both object and space.
