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. Exchanges with the city flow both from the inside-out and outside-in,
with architecture and interiors reflecting the open-ended nature 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 both interior and exterior spaces. The interior realm is reconsidered as an integral part of the
city, shaped by the activities that flow through it, making it inherently more accessible.
