Illustration for The Atlantic Re:think about the makeover of american corporate headquarters.

“The original corporate HQ that emerged from the last century served as a home base for most of a company’s major departments and services, creating a blueprint for corporate campuses that often took advantage of sprawling space in suburbs and city edges. But as companies plant their flag in new markets, they’re also embracing the HQ 2.0 philosophy, which includes replacing traditional corporate offices with a more open, social culture that fosters a dynamic and collaborative workplace.”

At the end of the day, autonomous automobiles transport data technicians and other employees to their homes, while self-driving delivery trucks hit the road to bring finished goods to customers.”

We are seeing social, cultural, economic and political shifts across the world, with outcomes that were once thought to be the subject of only fiction or fantasy.”

I was commissioned by SOILED architectural magazine to illustrate an article about the design and medical ramifications of spaces for palliative care.

“As a dying person goes through their last stage of life, the circle of physical spaces in which they inhabit and encounter shrinks, from their community, down to their living or hospital spaces, and finally down to the bed in a room.”

AD: Joseph Altshuler

I started this project as a daily challenge. Free thinking about space is vital for an architect and I wanted to have some fun with spatial concepts.  No restriction, the only rule I set was to get to it without a plan and keep it quick. I wanted to keep the unconscious engaged. The approach is a kind of problem solving. The solution is always surreal as well as the problem itself. I find this approach amusing, since I never know what the final outcome is going to be.

“Bears – In Honor of Spring” is an annual exhibition dedicated to bears, an animal which in many countries is a symbol of spring.
