Invisible Currents
Jinyu Li
Claudia Wigger

When people see “void” in architecture or space, they often perceive it as blank emptiness. However, I believe no space is truly empty—there are always invisible elements like light, temperature, and humidity in constant flux. These elements redefine “void” as a realm of possibilities and hope. In abandoned spaces, what we cannot see, light, air, and atmosphere—can foster comfort for non-human species. This project explores how we perceive and express these intangible forces and how they influence human experience, shaping new ways of understanding space.
