Creating awareness of the world around you,
to cultivate together a Human environment.

This is not a newsletter: it’s a slow conversation about architecture, emotion, and science.

 

~ 40 bits of information per second (a short text message): that’s the capacity of your conscious mind.
~ 40 million bits per second (as if watching several HD films at once): that’s the capacity of your unconscious mind.

Translated: even when you’re “doing nothing,” you’re processing space, light, sound, geometry.
Are you still convinced the environment around you doesn’t influence emotions and decisions?

In an age of AI, digital life, productivity and personal growth (or their opposite—calm and spirituality),
we seem to forget that everything happens in a place.
We spend about 90% of our time indoors. Architecture is all around us.

 

In these "Letters" I’ll share my point of view on the environment that surrounds us, that influences us, that shapes the way we live.

 

No “academic” tone—just a conversation between you and me, with simple, to-the-point reflections.
We won’t talk only about architecture: we’ll cross many disciplines along the way (living is a complex thing).

All the “Letters”

The Letters are a moment of reflection I share with you, a way to “switch off” from the everyday and delve into what truly matters and what I’m passionate about.

 

Below you’ll find those published so far.

Just as you can’t pull a fish out of the water and then teach it to “breathe better,” you can’t isolate a brain from its context and ask it to function the same

Architecture is a "drug": if well-dosed, it cures; if poorly-dosed, it causes harm. It's not the object itself that matters, but the life it enables. Form is th
