Excited to showcase @mariavittoriapaggini's latest project!

The use of vibrant colors like blues, greens, and reds, alongside dynamic textures and patterns, brings a lively energy that stimulates the senses. This engaging palette beautifully reflects individual personality and style!

New story on the blog: Invisible Space, Visible Care

Architecture is never neutral. Especially when it comes to care, space can either support or silence the needs of those within it. In my latest article, I explore how architecture can embody care—not just in hospitals or care homes, but in the everyday environments we move through.

What does it mean to design with a relational mindset?

How can we shape spaces that allow for presence, softness, and human connection?

This piece is a reflection on invisible spatial gestures, subtle thresholds, and the societal need for architecture that responds to vulnerability without overpowering it.

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the platform I created a couple of years ago to share my thoughts and explore the relationship between spaces and us, the users. I’ve been deeply passionate about this topic since attending a master’s program that delves into how spatial qualities affect us humans, impacting our social benefits, health, financial situations, and more.

Another major reason for my passion is my background—being born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. Jakarta is one of the most hectic and busy cities with a HUGE population. In the midst of it all, we lack safe public spaces. Most of them are privatized or restricted for political reasons, which I’m still trying to understand. It’s quite contradictory to me: Indonesians love gathering with neighbors, kids enjoy playing outside in the afternoon, we have beautiful tropical scenery, and we cherish strong social values, yet we lack spaces to do all these things.

On this platform, I want to gather information, theories, and case studies about this phenomenon, which I believe isn’t unique to Indonesia but happens in other countries too. I genuinely want to learn how we can improve this situation and find a balance between these two polarized aspects.

If you get the chance to visit the platform, I’d love to hear your opinion! If you have suggestions on how I can improve it or topics I should explore further, feel free to reach out. Let’s have Our Urban Conversation.

Examining the innovative and thoughtful design of @arq.reinaldopaulucci's small apartment!

Cleverly utilizing floating walls for fluidity and walnut paneling that brings warmth, this space seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics. Suspended cabinets add depth while enhancing the overall experience.
