Architecture is advertised by its decay.

Two rooms
A grid can calm a room into silence, or push it into conflict. Neutrality is a myth: even the cleanest structure decides how you move, where you look, what is allowed to happen. Order is never innocent.
#architecture #space #grid #order #structure #designthinking #photography
Black-and-white photograph of a raw concrete room with benches and shelves. White linear markings form an irregular grid across the walls, breaking the space into overlapping segments and creating a tense, fragmented architectural pattern. Black-and-white interior showing a clean, box-like room framed by a strict rectangular grid. Thin dark beams divide smooth white wall panels into even sections, creating a calm, controlled, almost abstract spatial composition.

This object pretends to be functional, yet refuses to fulfill its function. Design that has been stripped of its function and reduced to an attitude. If function disappears, is form still justified?
#objectstudy #formoverfunction #mockup #minimalism #monochrome #photography #speculative
White sculptural object resembling a telephone handset resting on an angular base, photographed in monochrome on a white surface. The forms are minimal, geometric, and abstract, with no visible buttons or interface, suggesting a non-functional mock-up.

A chair reduced to its conditions: planes, slots, gravity.

#design #furnituredesign #prototype #modulardesign #industrialdesign #mockup
White modular chair prototype made from flat panels with visible slots and joints, assembled without upholstery. The geometric construction emphasizes structure, balance, and material logic against a neutral grey background.

Modular systems are rarely neutral. They decide in advance what is possible and what is excluded.

Two arrangements of light grey, polygonal wall modules on a dark background. One forms a compact hexagonal cluster; the other expands into a cross-like configuration.

Is architecture a space of events or an event of spaces?

A house reduced to its minimum signals: door, window, volume. Somewhere between architectural model and abstract object, it refuses scale, function, and narrative.

#architecture #minimalism #mockup #conceptual #photography #PaperModel #ArchitecturalModel
Minimalist cardboard house model in warm brown tones, shown in three-quarter view. White geometric shapes indicate a door and windows. The object stands on a neutral surface against a soft, light background, resembling an abstract architectural mock-up.

House 4
#architecture #minimalism #mockup #conceptual #photography #PaperModel #ArchitecturalModel
A minimalist paper house model made of folded white cardboard with black line details suggesting doors and windows. The house stands behind a simple white picket fence against a dark, neutral background, giving it a staged, mock-up-like appearance.

House 3
#architecture #minimalism #mockup #conceptual #photography
Minimalist white paper model of a small house with a pitched roof and chimney, placed on a flat base. A simple white picket fence stands in front. The scene is lit softly against a neutral grey background, creating subtle shadows and a calm, abstract atmosphere.

House 2
#architecture #minimalism #mockup #conceptual #abstraction #design #speculative
A minimalist architectural model of a small house made from colored cardboard. A yellow gabled volume connects to an open structure with white roof planes supported by thin black columns. Red and pink vertical elements define the interior, with a small red staircase leading into the open space. The background is neutral and evenly lit.

Heute habe ich ein Video von einem der für mich beeindruckendsten Physik-Miniversuche gemacht. Dazu habe ich einen Wanderstiefel an seinen beiden Schnürsenkeln aufgehängt. Eine doppelte Drehung des Stiefels lässt sich rückgängig machen, ohne die Orientierung des Stiefels zu verändern! 1/

A minimalist, house-shaped object made of light peach-colored material, with a pitched roof, a rectangular chimney, and a hollow square opening at the front, photographed against a neutral light background.

A black-and-white photograph of two white, geometric chairs made from rectangular blocks, placed on a dark background. The larger chair on the left is tall and abstract, with an exaggerated vertical back and a cantilevered seat, while the smaller chair on the right is compact and simplified, echoing the same minimalist, block-like construction.

Shelter
#architecture #architecturalmockup #minimalism #monochrome
A minimalist, monochrome architectural mock-up of a small brick house façade. The structure features a shallow hipped roof and three large rectangular window openings—one centered and two flanking—set against a white brick background, with no interior detail visible.

Table setting 2
#minimalism #stilllife #monochrome #whitespace #objectstudy #conceptualimage #cgi
A minimalist still life showing a plain white rectangular package placed at the center of a white ceramic plate on a white table. Soft daylight creates subtle shadows; the background and all objects are monochrome, emphasizing form, geometry, and surface rather than function.

Table setting
#minimalism #stilllife #absence #structure #conceptual #cgi
A minimalist, monochrome table setting viewed from a slight angle, consisting of a white plate centered on a white placemat, with white cutlery arranged to the right and a folded white napkin to the left, all set against a light grey background.

Igloo 2
#architecture #minimalism #mockup #conceptual #abstraction #design #speculative
A minimalist, translucent architectural structure resembling an igloo or pavilion stands on a white, snow-like surface. The form is composed of soft pastel volumes—pink on the left, pale turquoise on the right—with a central arched opening leading into a darker blue interior. The background is diffuse and foggy, with no visible horizon or context.

#architecture #minimalism #mockup #conceptual #abstraction #design #speculative
A monochrome, minimalist mock-up of an igloo-like structure made of smooth, faceted white surfaces, standing in a white, snow-like environment. The entrance is open, revealing a dark, empty interior.

Burned
A black-and-white close-up of a single matchstick standing upright against a lightly textured grey background. The wooden shaft is pale and worn, while the head is visibly burned, blackened, and irregular, with charred edges that contrast sharply against the minimal, flat surface.

Anyhow.
Black-and-white halftone image with a dense checkerboard pattern forming the words “Happy 2026” where the letters emerge as lighter shapes from the tightly packed grid of black squares.

The first two days of the year were surprisingly acceptable. Clearly an administrative error, which was promptly corrected.

Flag

#AbstractArt #PoliticalArt #AmericanFlag #Deconstruction #Minimalism #ConceptualArt #VisualMetaphor #ContemporaryArt
An abstract depiction of the American flag on a white background, partially intact on the right side and dissolving toward the left into a cloud of fine, dark particles. The flag’s stars and stripes fade gradually, suggesting erosion, fragmentation, and instability, while the flagpole remains sharply defined.
