Concept
The Built in Mind is a series of illustrations by architect Francesco Di Dio, known as Effe, for Kiasmo, and which explores architecture as a metaphor for the mind. In these works space does not obey the laws of physics nor the codes of traditional design: stairs that lead to nothing, inaccessible entrances, suspended and floating volumes, unsustainable proportions. They are structures that do not aim to be built in the real world, but exist exclusively in the fluid territory of thought.
The mind is here the invisible architect. Each image is born as an interior project: a place generated by intuition, memories, desires and perceptions. Like an architect, the mind designs spaces, opens passages, raises walls and invents perspectives through which we interpret the world. But unlike real architecture, these constructions do not have to respect rules, proportions or functional logic: they can be free, dreamlike, and contradictory.
The series reflects on how our thoughts build 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 one’s own perception. The imagined architectures then become exercises in freedom: places where thought can experiment, deconstruct patterns and rebuild new interior landscapes, each work being at the same time a building and a mental process: a construction that reveals how the reality we inhabit is, first of all, a project of the mind.
