Concept
The Built in Mind is a series of illustrations by architect Francesco Di Dio, aka Effe, for Kiasmo, exploring architecture as a metaphor for the mind. In these works space does not follow the laws of physics nor the codes of traditional design: stairs leading to nowhere, inaccessible entrances, suspended and hovering volumes, unsustainable proportions. They are structures not intended to be built in the real world, existing solely in the fluid territory of thought.
The mind is here the invisible architect. Each image starts as an inner project: a place generated by intuitions, memories, desires and perceptions. Like an architect, the mind designs spaces, opens passages, erects 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 logics: they can be free, dreamlike, contradictory.
The series reflects on how our thoughts build our inner reality, our “mental home.” Often we inhabit invisible structures made of beliefs, habits and interpretations inherited from our culture and environment.
Through Effe’s illustrations, The Built in Mind suggests the possibility of becoming architects of our own perception. The imagined architectures then become exercises in freedom: places where thought can experiment, deconstruct patterns and reconstruct new interior landscapes; each work is at once building and mental process: a construction that reveals how the reality we inhabit is, above all, a project of the mind.
