Writing about music is always like dancing about architecture. Thinking about music is also like raining about glass. Philosophising about design. Designing about philosophy. Why not? It’s intuitive, no? I mean, dancing about architecture is exactly what we do every day, when we walk through it. As Viktor Shklovsky put it, a dance is simply a walk that is felt.

Culture Is a Human Right
Rather than bet on a single technological invention, idea, or product to improve the world, my best bet for a better world lies in the cumulative aspirational power that is expressed by all peoples on this planet through art and culture.
Participation in culture is a fundamental right, as outlined by article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I propose that we take this right and all its implications seriously. This means not only ensuring the right to participate in culture, but also actively supporting culture and its practitioners, expanding access to it, and inviting more people to engage in its production and discussion.

The studio had the pleasure of Helen Zeru Araya cooking Ethiopian lunch together with the rest of the studio kitchen team.
The traditional family dish Beyeaynetu / በየአይነቱ is especially served during the fasting periods, where Ethiopians eat a vegan diet.
Beyeaynetu is a collection of vegetarian dishes served on Injera, which serves as the „spoon“ for lentils, beans, Ayib, a mild cottage cheese and vegetable sauces piled on top. Injera is a spongy sourdouh flatbread made from Teff, which is the smallest grain in the world, gluten free and extremely high in fiber, iron and calcium.
List of the dishes on top:
Miser wot (red lentil stew with berbere spice)
Shiro (chickpea powder and spices cooked with onions and tomatoes into a stew)
Ayib (homemade fresh cheese made from yoghurt)
Gomen (spiced greens)
Key sic (red beet root)
Kibe (clarified butter, made with garlic, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cardamom)
