This neo-futuristic architect, systems theorist, author, designer and inventor influenced me. The geodesic dome is one of these objects that can be described as total.

I'm fascinated by this pioneering neurosurgeon's ability to deeply investigate the human being, its way of working, its way of feeling. And it really helps me to understand how we see, how we hear, how we breathe, how our brain can inform or mislead us. It's a great tool for me to understand what could be our real needs.
