Modern housing often reduces circulation to a single, straight path, making “going home” purely functional and losing surprise and emotional depth. The Mapless Collective Housing breaks this rigid shortcut through spiral levels, mirrors, and water surfaces, transforming light, sound, and touch into playful clues. Elderly residents slow down and reconnect with their senses, children explore hidden corners, and workers freely choose routes and rhythms, making life richer and more joyful.
