By reducing architectural expression to its essential elements, M_01 transforms the traditional exhibition booth into a quiet, multisensory haven inspired by Japanese spatial philosophy.

The primary challenge was to craft a temporary installation that stood out precisely by slowing down the visitor experience, balancing stric... More
