THE ARCHITECT’S DUTY TO FEEL THE LAND THEY ARE ABOUT TO BUILD ON

The architects who defined the architecture of the last 100 years, were ardent supporters of the idea that without the architect getting his hands dirty, feeling the land and the environment that is to host his work, the work will remain unfinished. There will always be that feeling something is mis

ON THE AESTHETICS OF CONSTRUCTION SITES

There is a feeling of calmness among the chaos in construction sites, that is both soothing and inspiring. Materials, textures and all the feels. Construction sites are to me some kind of a magical wonderland.

ON THE AESTHETICS OF CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION

Contemporary creative expression seems a bit difficult to be fully understood, across almost all industries. Take from culinary to architecture, from fashion to art, from product design to dance, and so on.

ON THE JOY OF EVERYDAY LIVING

Architecture is about aesthetics. Aesthetics is about simplicity. Simplicity is about details. All together is about having space to breathe, enjoy the little things, and be in the slow now. It is all about the joy of being, the aesthetic value of daily life.

THE AESTHETICS OF SIMPLICITY

IDEABAR Studio is an Architecture and Creative Design Studio based in Paralimni, Cyprus and established in 2015. Formed by an intrinsic need to make an aesthetic impact, the studio provides interdisciplinary work across Architecture, Art, Creative Direction and Design. The studio’s philosophy is deeply rooted into the world of simplicity: designing functional aesthetic solutions and bringing a sense of refinement to all projects regardless scale. A holistic design approach is integral to the studio’s creative process.

The studio is found and run by Aria Maria Anastasiou, a creative mind interested in the aesthetics, the visual aspects of life, in what lies beneath the appearance of things and spaces. In a constant pursuit for details and aesthetic sophistication. Interested in the imperfect, the raw and honest. In creating spatial and visual narratives, exploring the ways they can unfold into a tangible form. For Aria, creativity is all about searching for what is missing. Creative work emerges from a meditative, process-ridden practice, where the narrative is composed through an intuitive exploration of the aesthetic language of simplicity and details. Details that are not directly visible, but emerge in the process of allowing the unpredictable to happen. Drawing from her architectural background, there is a spatial order and textures arrangement that provide the functional basis for these narratives - both visual and spatial. Her way of translating all the street culture, art and creative influences collected in Aria’s head over the years. And her fascination with the concept of glitch (error phase in an electric, electronic, or ever digital circuit).

Aria’s artwork can be found in private collections in Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, USA.
