In autumn of 2021, I was the first speaker during the conference organised by the initiative Dom Pokoju Foundation. The subject of my presentation was the role of each specific sense in experiencing spaces and designing the sense of security. What is the 4xC rule (the letter C here stands for the initial letter of four Polish words: – cicho, cieplo, ciasno, ciemno – calm, warmth, snugness and darkness) and how can we implement it in our everyday life so as to improve our comfort of living? Should we be jealous of animals of their echolocation skills?

I invite you to listen to my presentation here:
