Draft mashup

Our architecture reflects truly as a mirror. 

Louis Henri Sullivan

Meaningful experiences connects architecture with geography, visual culture and urban studies. It explores the infinite variations of how architecture maps our physical, mental or emotional space through their senses and emotion.

Also new advances are taking place in other fields. In the sciences, for example, researchers are unraveling great findings that both directly and indirectly will affect the way you design and how your occupants perceive your spaces.

.Architecture exists as a material object and how it registers as a place that we come to remember beyond the physical site itself. Truly great work of architecture can simply help someone make a decision or even impact a culture.
