Hi, I’m Eris, an architect, writer, and absurdist city ghost. I post about #architecture, memory, poetry, travel, and trying to build a life that feels survivable and real. 🌙
New director at the firm 😌🫶 professional emotional support specialist, cuddle consultant, and full-time witness to my nonsense <3 #blahaj#cozyposting
Proof that I do occasionally leave the architecture archive... 😭Here are some cute #sapphic coded shots from my life. I have been meeting people, gluing #scrapbook stuff & drinking irresponsible amounts of monster🙃. Trying to slow down my life, to focus on the moment...🌙🍊📖
The resulting object is deliberately nonorientable: no privileged façade, front, back, top or singular reading. These studies test the same assembly through isometrics, sections & surface projections: trying to understand a spatial system whose identity changes with the observer
Some more of MandelNexus, this time, the system behind the object. The project grows from a kit of recursive modules: perforated planes, louvres, cores, portals and voids, repeated & transformed through #fractal logic
#Architecture as a rule-set before it becomes a form. 🌀
Exploring the #Mandelbrot set, recursive geometry & its strange 3D relatives: including the Mandelbox #Architecture ❤️ Testing forms, iterations and impossible little worlds to see how fractal logic might translate into architecture. #Fractals
An Austrian owns this home in Marrakech. He built it with tadelakt, terrazzo, bejmat tile, and earth-and-quicklime walls, the same materials Moroccan builders have used for generations. He kept the curved arches too, just reworked into a quieter, mid-century shape.
Christian Schallert isn’t Moroccan. But he built with Moroccan tradition intact, while a lot of the continent is doing the opposite: pouring concrete boxes and calling it modern, treating imported glass and steel as progress and the old techniques as backward.
Maison Brummel Majorelle opened in 2023 with eight rooms, designed by Bergendy Cooke with Amine Abouraoui handling the traditional craft. Tadelakt has waterproofed hammams here for centuries. It’s still doing the job, no import needed.

What I find most interesting about these Art Nouveau capitals is that they don’t seem to obey the old rules of architectural ornament.
Instead of repeating a formal Corinthian pattern, the flowers and stems appear to grow outward in different directions. The deep carving makes petals and leaves catch the light almost like living plants.
That “whiplash” curve is especially distinctive—it gives stone or plaster the visual rhythm of something flexible and growing.
Art Nouveau didn’t simply decorate architecture with flowers. It tried to make the architecture itself feel botanical.
erik kruug’s ‘way of living’ in loosdrecht, the netherlands, explores a fluid relationship between land and water, creating architecture that moves between the two rather than treating them as separate worlds.

one thing i saw the tv glow gets right is that the longer you repress the harder it becomes to self actualize and transition not just physically but mentally as the walls you build become taller and taller until the prison you’ve created your entire life feels almost inescapable
