The wanderloster gets lost in her wanders on the way to a wanderful end
Excessive hobbyist of the creative sort
the wanderloster:
a person who frequently finds themselves lost in the act of wandering, either physically or metaphorically. they delight in the journey as much as the destination, often drifting into new and uncharted territories.
someone who lets their curiosity lead them to multitudinous inspirations, moving from one interest or activity to another, captivated by the thrill of new experiences and learning that inform and influence.
the wanders:
in exploring these wanders, the wanderloster enlightens herself
architecture
the primary wander of envisioning and creating the space we all inhabit and occupy
Art
a secondary wander to study geometric forms and the relationships of nature and the cosmos
technology
the transformative wander that iterates and innovates on ideas and inspirations for a visionary future
knowledge
the devouring wander of learning, research and mastery that maintain a healthy mind
biophilia
a natural wander that allows for tranquility and inwardness to make way for divine inspiration
civilization
the shifting wander which provides perspective, insight and an understanding of the world
an approach to architecture
the wanderful end:
“wanderful” architecture is functional space that evokes a sense of wonder, stimulates the imagination, encourages the spirit of exploration, and invites you to find your own path and lose yourself in the beauty of the moment. the designs embody characteristics that not only appeal to the aesthetics but also engage the senses of the people who experience them.
Innovative and Inspiring:
architecture that challenges traditional design and flow of movement to create forms and spaces that are visually striking, functionally modern, and thought-provoking.
Integrative with Nature:
design that seamlessly integrates natures geometries, colors, forms and seasons, encouraging a dialogue between the built environment and the natural world.
Encouraging Discovery:
layouts that offer hidden spaces, intriguing views, elements of surprise, moments of inspiration and unexpected details that reward exploration and repeated visits.
Interactive and Dynamic:
spaces that respond to the environment, and are designed to be used in multiple ways, encouraging users to find new and personal ways to interact with the architecture.
