14 / Ricardo Bofill & IBASHO

09/02/23

Recently I’ve been inspired by a NOWNESS in residence episode featuring Ricardo Bofill. Though it was about architecture and design (seemingly unrelated to my project) – I loved that he had turned an old cement factory into an oasis sensitive to beauty, emotion and ultimately housing a totally different functionality. In a lot of ways it expresses elements of Wabi Sabi…

Alongside this I also came across the IBASHO exhibition online tour which features practicing Wabi Sabi artists. The work was absolutely beautiful & I’ve realised the more I research Wabi Sabi the more it unfolds, and starts to make sense.
