In Any Kind of Existence, the book explores persistence and care through an architecture shaped by time. Heritage appears as a living, layered condition, where repair, adaptation and continuity can become forms of transformation. Some Kind of Romance turns towards the experience of encountering a place in transformation. Beginning with an encounter with difference, the narrative develops through curiosity, risk and discovery towards a deeper sense of belonging.
