Welcome to my corner of the internet

The Gulbenkian aesthetic

I’m a functionalist drawn to modernism, with a deep appreciation for nature’s complexity. At Lisbon’s Gulbenkian, brutalist architecture sits amid lush gardens. I feel the pull of both, without being entirely at home in either.

That contrast expresses something fundamental about design: what we build is far less complex than the people we build it for. As LLMs imitate human capabilities with increasing sophistication, that distinction feels especially important.
