It therefore seems necessary to prepare ourselves to \"share space.\" This is what we at \u003cem\u003eSloft\u003c\/em\u003e have been anticipating for several years by promoting a more compact housing design, implementing stimulating, beautiful, and originally \"sensible\" solutions, to allow everyone to envision a sanctuary in our expanding megacities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this ninth bilingual issue:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 Exclusive Guided Tours:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eCharenton\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eParis\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMarseille\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eSydney\u003c\/strong\u003e, our new anthology reveals sensitive homes that serve as extensions of their occupants' bodies, allowing them to feel intimately connected to their environment and truly at home. This is the miracle of \"lived-in\" habitats, according to philosopher \u003cstrong\u003eCéline Bonicco-Donato\u003c\/strong\u003e, unlike \"interchangeable\" accommodations for eternal \"visitors,\" who, in doing so, might be monopolizing the space (and resources) of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA special feature on \"interior architecture\": \u003cem\u003eSleeping at Villa Medici\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe time for \"Xanadus,\" those lavish and private estates symbolized by \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Foster Kane\u003c\/strong\u003e's in \u003cstrong\u003eOrson Welles\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cem\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/em\u003e—a primitive Mar-a-Lago inspired by ancient princely residences—is over.

A refuge for artists, it becomes a refuge for all thanks to its program of renovating former studio-apartments converted into guest rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn exclusive interview with artist Pier Stockholm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo experience the interiority of one's shelter as a motionless exploration of oneself and the world is to open up immense spaces without monopolizing the Earth. Artist \u003cstrong\u003ePier Stockholm\u003c\/strong\u003e envisions his studio as a primary envelope of life, within which he nests others, right up to his \"cabin,\" a poetic and exploratory refuge where he recharges and expands his creative and spiritual horizons. For astrophysicist \u003cstrong\u003eAurélien Barrau\u003c\/strong\u003e is convinced: rather than seeking to uncover all the universe's secrets in a technological frenzy that propels us into intersidereal void, let us accept the mystery of the world by developing our poetic gaze. And in doing so, by preserving it, we will share it with all living things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEclecticism, poetry, art, escape, beauty, and innovation are definitely not a function of square footage!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonjour Jacob","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53084939419986,"sku":"A992045","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/0999\/0171\/files\/SLOFT09.png?v=1778514898","url":"https:\/\/bonjourjacob.com\/en\/products\/sloft-9","provider":"Bonjour Jacob","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
