My 2 cents on design

Face it, we all have one disorder or another

So why are we not using them more to our advantage, and how can we change that? Let’s find a creative way of looking at the struggles we have by readjusting ourselves to normal parameters – as if that is all there is to it! There are many historical examples of serious disorders that proved…

Beyond skin wellbeing, health, and the wheel of life

How did Wellbeing and Wellness come about? Without proper understanding of their beginnings and awareness of their evolutionary path, they will only last as much as a frog’s breath between its hibernation cycles. Here is a short but relevant timeline of what wellbeing was, is and will be, forever. Health was simply a part of…

Input-process-output theory of metamorphosis – how creativity transforms you into something new, part 2

What we absorb through activities of the everyday is, in great measure, conducive to what we produce as human beings. Be that work, or conversations, or expressions of various emotions, or artistic endeavours. All these “things” represent our contribution to the world around us, and their perceived quality has a tremendous impact on our well-being….

Land of Dochia Magazine Issue #5 Showcase

The key concept I chose to apply here is the sympathetic design. Bedrooms are the most private rooms of our homes. They are our most intimate space or rest, recharge, joy and pleasure. They are the rooms where we carefully put ourselves together for the world to see and get to know us. Here, for…

Why leading a design firm should not be all that different than leading a factory

How many factory owners go and work the floor covering all the tasks? Yet most clients expect the leader of a design or architecture firm to be involved in absolutely all the work. In a way, this is quite obvious why it is so: unlike in a factory, they do not hire you for the…

Welcome to the mental health age, we’re all in this together, Part 1

Designed based on roman principles, it contributed to the emerging dialogue on passive house models and got recognized as such. Four residential units are placed around a central courtyard that acted as a well of light and rainwater collection. A small reservoir at the bottom recirculated the collected water to washrooms and kitchens, each equipped…

Input-process-output theory of metamorphosis – how creativity transforms you into something new, part 1

Sometimes I feel unidentifiable. Everything I want to say has already been said. What I imagine and want to design has already been designed. What I think has been thought before. They all come with a small pang of sadness and disillusion. Luckily – I think because of my training in a creative field –…

Vibe – FOCUS February 2023

The ease with which we move within our imagination is quickly dismissed when a good reality is cast upon us. Sometimes, we become content and relaxed at the expense of not seeing the next step that can take us even further. Vibing well is an awesome ride to catch upward, not something to bathe in…

The Big Easy, part 2 – When does it get easy? Does it ever?

The one question that we all ask – mostly of ourselves. Having it easy seems to always be of the past or some distant future. A distant future where we assume that after we perform many tribes and tribulations and do them properly, things will eventually pay off, and the easy time will come. But…

Ultra luxury, the new superlative of design

First, there was the need to have something above your head. Then you made that beautiful. Later, you noticed that others have it even more beautiful and defined the term: luxurious in the English language started happening in the seventeenth century. Coming from a French term underscored by sexual meaning, luxury first referred to indulgence,…

Welcome to the mental health age, we’re all in this together

Pompeii in the 7th century B.C. had residential wells collecting rainwater for domestic use, distribution systems via terracotta piping and street sewage management. Their buildings not only reflected a wonderful example of sanitation, but displayed a subtle and positive connection of living with nature. The highly developed and completely passive architectural construction relied, among others,…
