5 days agoThe Psychic Conflicts of Oliver Sacks
Oliver Sacks reshaped patient realities, sometimes fabricating details, linked healing to storytelling, and felt guilt while seeking personal awakenings.
What you see is the result of a collaborative journey between three fields: education, architecture, and fabrication. The educational perspective guided us in designing a school that responds to the needs of children in a world increasingly dominated by digital technology, fostering instead a connection to nature. The architects shaped forms, spaces, and light that make every living being-children, plants, and animals-feel recognized and alive.
When someone mentions a waterfall countertop, they're not talking about flowing water or the waterfall-style faucets installed in many modern kitchens. This type of countertop is actually a bold, sleek design feature in which the surface doesn't stop at the edge, but cascades like a waterfall straight down the sides to meet the floor. This creates a seamless, sculptural look that's artsy but expensive. Although some versions may cost around $200, the price can easily exceed $1,200.
