To learn how to look at these pictures, we contacted nomadic architect Adi Cohen, who is the founder of THE NEW MOVEMENT, an architecture studio that designs one-of-a-kind projects all over the world.

"Creating a design is like inviting someone to behave in a certain way," Cohen told Bored Panda. "So it is essential that we understand the future users of the space: what kind of moments and activities will take place in the space? What are the relationships and the dynamics we wish to create within the building and between the building and its surroundings?"

After answering the previous questions, Cohen said architects then usually take time to study the land, climate, and culture they are going to be working with.

For example, they need to consider if natural resources, such as wind and sun, will be available for the buildings.

"The ideal design experience for me is a holistic one that generates a multi-sensory experience," she added.

"A good architecture project starts at the macro level and keeps its consistency down to the tiniest details," Cohen, who has also given an excellent TEDx talk on how to design freedom, said. "It is never a copy-cut design, but a story tailored to the place, users, and site."

"Architecture tells a story; it draws you in, it feels inviting and inspiring. You can navigate and use it easily. And yes, it is also beautiful."

However, there are plenty of challenges that architects need to navigate if they want to deliver the best possible results. And they aren't always prepared for them upfront.

"Despite the passion and creativity of architecture schools and the academic world, office life in most firms often seems like a whole other world," Cohen said. "Architects often wonder what happened to the joy of creating innovative and beautiful designs when they're dealing with technical drawings, building permits, and profit-driven development companies."

Furthermore, architects don't get to show off their skills any time they want to. "In contrast to other creative fields, architecture requires substantial investment. You may find yourself waiting for the 'perfect' client, project, and budget to feel fulfilled as an architect," Cohen continued.

"This was one of the reasons I had sold all my belongings and bought a one-way ticket to Japan five years ago. I couldn’t imagine myself spending the rest of my life sitting behind a desk for 10 hours a day, creating uninspiring buildings. I knew there must be more to life, there must be more to architecture."

But the craft keeps evolving. Cohen said remote work and the desire to create a better work-life balance are impacting this industry as well.

"As part of the public interest in new priorities and life choices, there is a growing movement of people who wish to live in alignment with the inner values and are questioning the social scripts we all grew up to. I see more and more people who are selling their city 2-bedroom apartments and are moving closer to nature, living in places they feel inspired, healthy, and free."

"We are shifting from the assembly line mentality to talent and quality-based economy. Exciting times!" the architect said.

"It is essential to take a close look at the places that we choose to live in and how they affect our performance, our health, and our happiness."

"The same way we are busy biohacking our sleep and diet in an attempt to optimize our output, people start to understand the importance of spaces where they live, work and connect with each other."

As a side note, Cohen highlighted that when she was seeking a new path for herself, she had to question everything.

"That included not only the life scripts that we are socially expected to follow but also the way we build and the impact that those cookie-cutter buildings and cities have on human beings. I strongly believe that the real purpose of architecture is creating places we can thrive in, places that replenish our mind, body, and soul. As the world is rapidly changing, the more we understand people, the better we can design for them," she added.

"At THE NEW MOVEMENT, we seek to create places that feel ‘alive’ and evoke a sense of wonder, places that invite us to explore and amplify freedom. Instead of trends, we seek essence: combining ancient wisdom with knowledge from various fields such as neuroarchitecture and neuroaesthetics, biophilic design, and human-centered design," Cohen said.

"We aim to create spaces that have a timeless quality, a magnetic force we subconsciously feel drawn to ... I believe that creative people should constantly expand their horizons, be open to new experiences. We have to stay curious and feed our subconscious with new sensory information, exciting innovative ideas, and knowledge."

Just like art and technology, architecture is one of the physical manifestations of culture. It gives a face to the way we live. And judging by where it's going, the future certainly looks interesting and promising.
