Adopting the World
An ongoing exploration of the connections that unfold when we allow the world to weave itself into the fabric of our lives.
By opening ourselves to possibilities, we begin to see the world as a place to experience rather than explore.
Meals become shared conversations that linger long after plates are cleared. Unfamiliar languages become reminders that understanding comes before translation. And cultural differences become the connections between two unknowns.
An invitation from Gregory & Michèle:
For more than fifty years, we have preserved our experiences through handwritten journals and photographs that invite you to peer through an open door to a new way of life. We hope they inspire you to embrace your now and adopt the world around you.
When asked, “What’s your favorite country?” The answer is always the same: The one we’re in now.
— Gregory & Michèle

Inspired by “Ma,” a Japanese philosophical concept that highlights negative space and meaningful intervals, Inside Outside explores how the space between architecture is as important as the architecture itself.
