What does it mean to live together — not just physically, but meaningfully — without losing one’s own rhythm?

​

This ongoing LinkedIn series draws on historical, philosophical, and spatial references to trace how humans have lived together — and apart — across time. From the ancient Tabernacle to modern cities, from cloisters to grid-planned metropolises, each post reflects on a different spatial arrangement and what it reveals about coexistence.

​

Inspired by Roland Barthes’ notion of idiorrhythmic living-together, this series explores how space can allow different rhythms to coexist — not through forced unity, but through mutual recognition, respectful distance, and adaptive proximity.
