“tangible”
adjective, from Latin tangere to touch
real, existing; able to be shown or experienced
tangible as opposite to digital
WHAT
Our goal is to create a space, where we architects can gather, learn new things, get inspired, exchange and practice some analogue (tangible) activities as an opposite to digital realities
This isn't just an event — it's a journey back to the heart of why we fell in love with architecture. It's a call to those who yearn to break free from the confines of commercial assignments and rekindle their creative spark in the company of like-minded people.
Add playfulness, joy and soul back into the “serious business” architect. Lets get inspired and have fun together
WHY
Architects nowadays are expected to solve all the world problems, climate change, social issues, urban development etc — and also make it profitable for the developer of course.What is the architects work life? Oh we know it is definitely not what people think - when they tell you they always wanted to become an architect.
Quite a big span between expectations and reality.
Why have you decided to become an architect back then?
WHERE
The concept of our architectural gatherings is an offline event in the natural surroundings. It is important part of the experince to be in the nurturing environment with some genoius loci.For now there are two editions: THE MOUNTAINS
and THE OCEAN.
Upcoming events are currently based in Portugal We are also considering new location in Spain.
WHO
I am Anastasia Laki and I am an architect and TANGIBLE founder
Through my 15 years professional career I have been engaged in lots for exiting architectural projects.
I also have restarted my carieer from scratch three times in new countries, had burn out, broke up with co-founding partners, had some of the best and worst colleagues ever, dozens of ridiculous construction site stories, celebrations and failures and thousands and thousands of hours drawing behind the computer screen.
I have been creating spaces and places for people, designs and scenarios, transforming existing buildings or city scape.
But beyond that I want to create a space for architects, for ourselves, who sometimes need a break, a bit of inspiration and some people around who share their values.
I believe we can together make a space to revive our energy, experience together, light up each other and come back home thinking a bit differently.
a chain of events and gatherings.
We are also planing to keep up the community and make an online club, so we all can keep in touch afterwards.
If you are interested on collaborating please take contact, we are always happy to co-create.
