Have you ever seen the Zisa in Palermo? You’ll understand air conditioning in an instant, and why the Zisa does without it.
There is an ancient way of building that is becoming the future of how we live. I discovered it many years ago, when I began my career as an architect, restoring historic palaces. Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, the Roman architect of 50 BC, had already sensed it; buildings fare well when they take into account the regions and latitudes in which they rise. Almost two thousand years later, with bioclimatic architecture, we are bringing that wisdom back to the center of design and turning houses into living organisms that can converse with the climate.

NOMADIC
Common Place Genova
32,00 €This version of Nomade adds a glossy glaze to the 3D printed terracotta structure. The enamel gives the vase an elegant look and makes it easier to clean. As the first and only time , moisten the string well, lightly wet the plant and put some water in the container (make sure it does not touch the tip of the cone). The string will absorb the water from the container and release it into the soil. This way the vase releases water only when the plant needs it. Glazed Terracotta: The 3D print on natural terracotta is finished with a colored glaze (blue, green, white); the result is a chic and sturdy vase. Compatible with reused bottles and jars: the cone (Ø 12 cm for the Regular version, Ø 17 cm for the XL) adapts to recycled bottles, jars or glasses. Seasonal recommendations: raise the water level between spring and summer while lowering the level in the winter months. Recommended plants: Tradescantia, Philodendron, Calathea, Fittonia, Ficus bonsai, Maranta, ferns and Mimosa pudica Simple maintenance: Use filtered or bottled water, keep the soil moist but not soggy; clean the cone with a scouring pad and baking soda; to prevent mold in the soil, reduce the water and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. 📌 Plant and container not included. Our 3D clay pieces are hand-finished: clay, a living material, may have small imperfections that make each object unique.

Ten ways to make breakfast special (and not only on the weekend)
A special breakfast does not depend on the free time of the weekend; it depends on the attention we bring to it. From east light to the wheel-thrown ceramic cup, from the Viennese tray to the linen napkin, this guide gathers ten bio-architecture gestures for the home that turn the first fifteen minutes of every weekday into a ritual, even one that lasts only a few minutes.

Where the camera stood: another way to travel
Some archives do more than record where a film was shot; they place the original frame beside a photograph of the same spot as it looks today. From Davinotti in Italy to ReelStreets in the United Kingdom, and from L2TC in France to Scouting NY, these tools suggest a different way to plan a trip: a few stops, chosen shot by shot, and observed with the eye of someone who notices the details.
