In search of the fourth coordinate. A critical and creative exploration of dimensionality

Abstract

This Bachelor's thesis is a critical and creative exploration of dimensionality, focusing on how we understand, represent, and imagine dimensions beyond the visible. This design-led project questions conventional models of space and perception, centering on the speculative search for a fourth dimension. Through an evolving archive of visual experiments, spatial mappings, and conceptual studies, it challenges familiar imagery and proposes new ways of seeing. Rather than presenting fixed answers, the work embraces ambiguity and invites reflection. It asks: how can we design to perceive what lies beyond what we already see, those hidden layers that shape our reality but remain just out of reach? It is a process of searching, seeing, and re-seeing through design.
