The art of solitude: designing personal sanctuaries for inner silence
Returning from vacation, where we (perhaps) experienced a little more inner silence, it helps to know how to recreate it at home in a stable way, whenever we need it. The contemporary home celebrates sharing and forgets retreat. Yet the need for solitude is not a whim; it is a physiological necessity that architecture can and must design for. There is a bio-architectural grammar of the personal sanctuary: the space in which to exist without witnesses, without producing, without performing.

The most beautiful museum shops: why the best travel souvenirs are found there
A museum shop is not simply the exit visitors must pass through once the culture is over; it is the last room of the exhibition. From Madrid to Vienna, and from New York to Zurich, Isabella Goldmann explains why the most precious travel souvenir is the one bought there, among pieces commissioned from local artisans and books we will never find again.
Sleeping inside history: inns and hotels that restore rather than build
The most contemporary gesture in hospitality is to build nothing at all. From Madrid’s Gran Hotel Inglés, which began life as a café in 1853, to Thompson Rome, in the former headquarters of the Italian Communist Party on Via delle Botteghe Oscure, and on to the alpine and lagoon inns that keep their wrinkles, Raremood explores why the greenest building is the one that already exists, and why the history of a room cannot be manufactured.
