    The episodes here not only explore the physical concerns with the world but also change the spiritual and mental. It’s so important to understand where mentalities come from the significance of the heart and mind in developing and contributing to state of the world we now live in.

  • Insightful and Enjoyable

    This podcast really invites me as a listener to reevaluate our position as the “dominator” of this world. Always stay humble since there’s plenty of things we don’t know about yet.

Building Bridges Between Nature, Memory & Architecture with SALWA & SELMA MIKOU
Q: What role does collaboration play in your practice, given you are twins who think differently?
Our two visions are complementary and constantly intersect; disagreements fuel richer ideas. We share intuition and rational approaches, cross-visit sites, and invite curators and artists to enrich projects, creating a multidisciplinary team that amplifies each project's memory and atmosphere.
Building Bridges Between Nature, Memory & Architecture with SALWA & SELMA MIKOU
Q: How do you translate a site's history and memory into a contemporary architectural project?
We start by researching geology, topography, and local narratives to reveal hidden traces. We then craft a program around a central heart space that can host multiple uses and layers of memory, ensuring the building feels alive and rooted while remaining contemporary.
