From time to time it's good to take a critical look at everyday places and how they are designed. They tend to be shaped by the culture and time in which they are built, sometimes including the shortcomings or otherwise outdated ideas of that time. A theater, for example, often follows similar design principles, but are the spaces really accessible to everyone? As I perceive it, many have been designed with a dash of white normativity and internalized ableism. With my friend Heini we dream of more accessible cultural venues, and if you have access to ARK magazine you can read about our thoughts from here:

Some of London’s most incredible buildings and structures don’t exist anymore. This article brings small, low resolution photos and I can't help but thinking: What if we had the Matterport technology back then to capture and preserve these landmarks in a digital form? What if we could explore the Whitehall Palace or Holland House? Matterport Digital Twins have the potential to bridge the gap between past and present, ensuring that even as physical structures fade away, their digital counterparts stand the test of time. Museums and history books offer valuable insights, but the ability to virtually wander through these lost structures adds a layer of understanding that is unparalleled. Fortunately, we have Matterport now and can seize the opportunity to preserve our architectural heritage. #matterport #digitaltwins #architecturelovers

I do believe that street art adds #value to a property. We need more #publicart, we need #art and #optimism in the streets, in the neighbourhoods. https://lnkd.in/ddW3XNH6

Even though I presented this design concept more than a year ago, I wanted to share it as it's one of the out-of-the-box projects I've done with 'No front and No back' concept. The chosen location to propose a wine museum is an urban void in Porto in Portugal, that actually needs to be addressed. It is located on the north bank of the Douro River, and the surrounding area is mostly residential. The primary concept behind the project is to create a cubist space (which is our abstract perception of the environment and the spirit of this site), in which it is impossible to figure out the space in front and behind, the ambiguous space, that allows people to explore and perceive the river and landscapes. So, having a glimpse of #cubism (from art), it is an iconic artistic movement distinguished by its pioneering approach of presenting reality in three dimensions on a two-dimensional canvas using mathematical shapes. Cubist paintings with elements that overlap yet do not reveal the front and rear are taken into consideration to create an open, tranquil, appealing, and panoramic translucent area above the ground for people's views of the river and accessibility. A depthless, compressed, transparent metropolitan image is formed in addition to focusing on the inside of the area. The wine museum was taken one step ahead by following the key points connecting cubism such as Flow, Transparency, and Reflection. The whole concept would not have been feasible without my team members Sara Gharibi, Paola Sade, Yijia Zheng, Zhengwen Zhu. I'd like to thank Professor Camilo Rebelo, Kiana Jalali, and Paola Hagei Higa for encouraging us to think out of the boundaries. I am glad to share our journal with you. I would greatly value any comments or feedback on this topic. #cubism #cubistpaintings #landscape #flow #transparency #reflection #regenerativedesign #architecturalinnovation #porto #portugal #portwine #douro #polimi #sustainablearchitecture
