The Unfinished (architectural concept)

"The Unfinished" in architecture refers to structures or designs that are intentionally left incomplete or open-ended, either as an artistic statement or due to practical constraints. These works highlight the process of construction, emphasizing the transient nature of architecture and inviting viewers to reflect on themes of impermanence, labor, and potential. The concept can be seen in buildings or sculptures that reveal raw, underlying elements or deliberately omit certain features, creating a dialogue between what’s complete and what remains unfinished, ultimately enriching the viewer’s appreciation of the architectural journey.
