Concept
The Built in Mind is a series of illustrations by architect Francesco Di Dio, known as Effe, for Kiasmo, exploring architecture as a metaphor for the mind. In these works space does not obey the laws of physics nor the codes of traditional design: stairways leading to nothing, inaccessible entrances, suspended and fluttering volumes, unsustainable proportions. They are structures not meant to be built in the real world, but existing exclusively in the fluid territory of thought.
The mind here is the invisible architect. Each image begins as an interior project: a place generated by intuitions, memories, desires and perceptions. Like an architect, the mind sketches spaces, opens passages, raises walls and invents perspectives through which we interpret the world. But unlike real architecture, these constructions do not have to follow rules, proportions or functional logics: they can be free, dreamlike, contradictory.
The series reflects on how our thoughts construct our inner reality, our “mental house.” We often inhabit invisible structures made of beliefs, habits and interpretations inherited from our culture and environment.
Through Effe’s illustrations, The Built in Mind suggests instead the possibility of becoming architects of our own perception. The imagined architectures become exercises in freedom: places where thought can experiment, deconstruct patterns and reconstruct new inner landscapes, each work simultaneously a building and a mental process: a construction that reveals how the reality we inhabit is, above all, a project of the mind.
