poetic functionalism
composing the public space. the space in between. a square, an exhibition, a toilet, a bus stop, a catwalk, a shop, or the space underneath a coat. public space is surrounding us. my breath. the softness of what it could be. a tender approximation. the choreography of the public space. a poetic similarity between feeling and surrounding. interior as a logical consequence of content and function; a subtle thoughtful atmosphere. combining the most intimate with the most public components. skin and bones. fashion and architecture. both protect and shelter the human body, while providing a means to express identity, whether personal, political, religious or cultural. the space between our body and beyond. a tailored big scale. incorporating outer space. interior as a logical consequence of content and function; a subtle thoughtful atmosphere.

designs which are based on the human body and the space, volume and movement of it.
