Ark Journal Vol VIII

In Ark Journal Volume VIII we reflect on the idea of ​​a more fluid and holistic way of thinking and creating. We visit perfumer Barnabé Fillion from Arpa Studios in Paris, whose work is inspired by his own synesthesia and who visualizes scents as invisible landscapes. In New York, Landon Metz, an artist whose practice explores painting as a fluid meditative activity, has created an exclusive series of artworks for Ark Journal. We also present the personal memoirs of renowned New York photographer Martien Mulder. She is a minimalist whose images are sober yet warm and accessible, with photographs that reflect her travels, her movements and her life.
The houses chosen for this edition, from Los Angeles to a small town in northern Italy and from Copenhagen to Brussels, offer new perspectives on the culture of each place and the relationship of the houses to their surroundings. John Pawson's home for Michael Maharam is built entirely of mountain stone, and its livable minimalism creates a dialogue between nature, architecture and residents. Kim Rahbek Hansen's summer house on the island of Falster, designed by Terese Erngaard of the Swiss studio Diener & Diener, also tells a wonderful story about the search for the right place on the border between land and sea. Also lapped by the waves is a sauna in Helsinki that oscillates between private and public life for Finnish architect Tuomas Toivonen and Japanese designer Nene Tsuboi, creators and custodians of this contemplative yet communal sauna.
