Recently all I’ve been thinking about is immersive designs and experiential architecture. I LOVE the concept of installations. They inspire awe, bend our senses, challenge our comforts, and there’s infinite ways you can design them. Also, they are one of the most effective ways of simulating an out-of-body or psychedelic experience. There’s no greater gift than to challenge our perception of reality, by unlocking the doorway into the beyond.
