AEROS


AEROS is a room that floats, where thought is suspended and matter grows lighter. A blue volume, wrapped in threads of air, turning waiting into space and silence into form.

  • AEROS comes from the Ancient Greek “ἀήρ” (aér), meaning air or breath.
    It carries an ethereal and symbolic charge: air is not only a physical element, but also a metaphor for the invisible, the intangible, and the weightless.
    The name suggests lightness, suspension, and liberation from gravity and material constraints.
    It also evokes a mythical dimension, something ancient and archetypal — as if the space belonged to a floating, otherworldly realm.
    AEROS is more than a name; it is a spatial concept that speaks of breath, stillness, and presence held in suspension.

  • AEROS is an ethereal microcosm, an interior environment suspended in space and time, where matter loses weight and thought rises. A floating room, fully wrapped in fine blue threads stretched through space like weaves of air, creates a volume that feels both light and protected. The color blue — a symbol of openness, spirituality, and lightness — dominates the scene, evoking the sky and the depth of breath.

    Suspension here becomes a metaphor for thought in balance, the interval between action and reflection, the time of pause. Like a visual haiku, the space invites silence and contemplation.

  • Threads trace invisible connections, tensions suspended between what is seen and what is felt. Blue becomes breath — a mental sky, the color of light thought. Suspension is not absence, but dense waiting; a threshold where thought sharpens. The room is a refuge for the soul, a boundary between the inner self and the elsewhere.

  • The suspended room is inspired by the philosophy of the inhabited void and the liminal — understood as the space between two states, two times, two thoughts. It draws from the Zen concept of Ma (間), the empty space that gives meaning to form, and from Gaston Bachelard’s idea that “the imagined house is one of the greatest powers of the soul.”

    Here, suspension becomes a poetic act: a release from material and mental gravity, a threshold that slows down time and sharpens perception.

  • From Toyo Ito’s ethereal transparency to Sou Fujimoto’s suspended, fragmented living spaces, architecture becomes air. Do Ho Suh wraps memory in fabric, while Ishigami builds like he’s sculpting with breath. Rachel Whiteread casts silence itself — voids turned solid, absence made form.

To inhabit is to feel. Space is a body that breathes.
