What makes us human after
all? MODU’s design process is grounded in three core values: indoor urbanism, second nature, and public floor.
Indoor Urbanism
Indoor urbanism envisions architecture with fewer borders, positioning
buildings at the intersection of two contrasting scales—the urban and the
interior. The exchanges with the city are both inside-out and outside-in,
encouraging both architecture and interiors to learn from the open-ended qualities
of cities while incorporating climate-responsive design.
Public Floor
The public floor
is active, ephemeral, and dynamic. Experiences on this ‘floor’ are constantly
changing—whether on a city’s sidewalks, in its lobbies, streets, shops, or
parks. These daily social interactions unfold in exterior spaces and extend
into interiors. The interior realm is reconsidered as an integral part of the
city, shaped by the activities that flow through it.
