Remember the intangible magic of visual connectivity in my previous article? It’s intangible because we feel the significance, yet we can’t hold, touch nor grasp it with our hands.

In the world of design and architecture, I teach my students to appreciate the power of using intangible elements in their design toolbox, together with physical elements like doors, windows, furniture, light fittings and loose household decor.
