This study establishes a theoretical correlation between Konstantin Stanislavski, whose Creative Acting System shaped 20th-century theater, and Peter Zumthor, architect of Therme Vals, a landmark of early 21st-century architecture. While Stanislavski used an actor training method aimed at integrating actors with their characters and guiding them toward an inner transformation, Zumthor emphasizes the sensory and experiential relationship between the user and the space. Building on this parallel, the research argues that architectural space can be analyzed through the Creative Acting System. As a methodological framework, the Four C Model of Creativity (Kaufman & Beghetto) is employed to structure the interdisciplinary dialogue between theater and architecture. Within a linear Text–Action–Space triad, Lacan and Merleau-Ponty are positioned under the Text category (mini-C and little-C), Stanislavski under Action (Pro-C), and Zumthor’s Therme Vals under Space (Big-C). Through this method, the philosophical foundations of Stanislavski and the psychoanalytic theories that informed it emerge in the design of Therme Vals, where Zumthor’s architecture engages in intertextual production. This study, employing a qualitative research method, aims to lay the groundwork for future multidisciplinary investigations.
