The full spectrum of creativity is not always straight forwards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Studio KO, featured in this issue, there lies the precious nature of humanity: in the texture of meanderings, mistakes, even cast-offs. For Vincenzo De Cotiis, it can be found in patinated surfaces: stressed, challenged and excavated over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurious about the journey, we retrace the methods of architects Nidus, Danielle Siggerud and Arnout De Sutter. Then step inside a Parisian apartment with Nóbrega Borghmans, and a retreat in the British countryside with Andy Kerstens, in order to step into their processes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe find architect Vincent Van Duysen in Comporta, between sunken villas, sun and shadow, with his feet in the sand: in a moment of suspension. We meet architect Leopold Banchini in Morocco at his off-grid environmental living system built of rammed earth. Then visit La Congiunta, a cult, quasi-spiritual museum in rural Switzerland imagined by Swiss sculptor Hans Josephsohn and architect Peter Märkli.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith thick walls and grounding forms, these defensive spaces insulate and distance us from a chaotic world beyond with growing urgency. A search for this kind of space defines the journey of Valentin Loellmann: “All my life, I’ve been searching for a home, a safe place. If I don’t find it while I’m alive, then maybe I’ll only find peace after I’m gone,” he says.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriter Micha van Dinther embraces the fear of silence during a pilgrimage to the Mariavall convent in Sweden, discovering it far from empty yet filled with mental revelation. Architect Nicolas Schuybroek contemplates the ‘charged’ silence of the understated ceramics of Pierre Culot that similarly seem to command self-reflection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilent voids are also filled with the potential for expression. Giving us courage, Belgian model and musician Kim Peers fearlessly occupies the stage as an otherworldly presence in theatrical performances with her post-punk band Skemer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParadoxically, it is in storms and dark skies that Peers finds the most truth and calm. Which is why it is in the uncertainty, struggle, doubt and the labour of love, that this issue of AKT invites you to dwell.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e23 x 1.7 x 31 CM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eEnglish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cform method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/new-mags.com\/en-eur\/cart\/add\" id=\"product-installment-form-template--25253134434650__main-10835972227418\" class=\"shopify-product-form\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\"\u003e\u003c\/form\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cform method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/new-mags.com\/en-eur\/cart\/add\" id=\"product-installment-form-template--25253134434650__main-10375878476122\" class=\"shopify-product-form\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\"\u003e\u003c\/form\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"shopify-section-template--25253134434650__86df20f8-ad47-44f7-b936-6554ab6b6e76\" class=\"shopify-section shopify-section--custom-html\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cform method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/new-mags.com\/cart\/add\" id=\"product-installment-form-template--25253134434650__main-10623159402842\" class=\"shopify-product-form\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\"\u003e\u003c\/form\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"shopify-section-template--25253134434650__86df20f8-ad47-44f7-b936-6554ab6b6e76\" class=\"shopify-section shopify-section--custom-html\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Kollekted By","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48613510480121,"sku":null,"price":335.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/1192\/1329\/files\/AK_01.jpg?v=1782844609","url":"https:\/\/kollektedby.no\/products\/akt-magazine-issue-vi","provider":"Kollekted By","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
