There is something tempting in the unfinished.  

​

This research is an attempt to approach the unfinished as a feature that never ceases to influence the architectural process and tries to answer the question “how can an incomplete situation continue?”. It is also a hypothesis of this research that the unfinished situation in architecture is mainly expressed by the ruin.

​

In the end, is there a completion in architecture?

​

An atlas of images and texts, which are seeking for the potentials of the unfinished. Concluding, the unfinished images of the ruins are explored as dynamic fields, at which their discontinuity, offering potentials of new completions and eventually their continuation of their narratives. 
Their stories continue as an open field of ideas and thought.

​

Allegory is anything in the spoken or written language that implies a hint and generally conceals notions different from those that appear. 

Unfinished is an allegory. His multiple narrative allows for a wide variety of translations and completions. 

​

Unfinished is an open field. A dynamic field that evolves, destroys or rebuilds, depending on the circumstances and dynamics it encompasses. 

​

Unfinished is a possibility. 

​

The two perceptions of time that construct this particular research, as a linear or a cyclical shape, are its main conclusion. That is, the moment of the new completion of an incomplete building is crucial to be treated as a continuity and discontinuity at the same time. The progress of a building is linear. Whatever happens to a building, there is going to be an abstract beginning and an undefined end. However, any new completion that might exists in this linear progress is necessary to be researched as a discontinuity of the building’s previous past and to be confronted critically, for creating new potentials for the future.
