Architecture is a moderator of flows—of air, water, energy, people, sound, light, time. The wall is a valve. The opening is a switch.
we map flows as the precondition of form, not its consequence. Design begins with the identification of gradient and movement:
what must pass, what must pause, what must be stored.
Flows are always contextual and scalar—from HVAC vectors in an apartment to hydrological paths across a landscape.
In high-performance envelopes and passive systems, architecture conditions flows rather than halting them.
