“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”

― Jorge Luis Borges

“To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.”

― Jorge Luis Borges

“Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.”

― Jorge Luis Borges

“Of course, everyone interprets it differently, but for us, it’s a very personal thing. With this project, the question for us was how to interpret one art form into another language, with other tools. Can sound be translated into space? Can sheet music be translated into an architectural drawing? Can silence be interpreted as a void? Architecture is usually defined as the creation of space, while time is important in music. We were interested in reversing this definition: how could the dimension of time be expressed in architecture, and space in music? Of course, the connection between architecture and music can be observed very directly, for example in the design of concert halls, where the design affects the sound quality, as well as in cathedrals etc. Instead of this rather technical interpretation, we were interested in a more personal approach: how a piece of music can reflect space. While we were working on the competition project, we listened to Tabula rasa a lot, and it eventually became the keyword of our work.”

Feeling curious?

Check out the Log! A record of my creative journey spanning over 15+ years, encompassing a curated selection of work, each project a chapter with its own unique story to tell. The archive aims to reflect the ebb and flow of my creative output in a transparent, chronological, and structured library, seeking an answer to the ultimate question: Who am I?—for we know, the answer to that inquiry is not 42.

Step in, explore, and if you feel inspired by what you see, let's create something meaningful together.
