So happy to see my project Linalinen Store featured in
Thank you, , for including the project and for your inspiring editorial vision — it’s a pleasure to be part of this issue #92.
The photo in the publication was taken by my dear friend — photographer and director , whose sense of light and emotion always brings depth and character to the image.
I’m Kate Turbina, an architect working across hotels, retail, and workplaces. What I see today is a new essence of space: everything becomes a destination. An office isn’t just desks — it’s a place you choose over home because it inspires you. A hotel isn’t just a bed — it’s a cultural hub. A retail store isn’t just shelves — it’s an experience worth the journey.
Brands now compete not just for attention online, but for presence in physical places. They attract the right audience to the right location — and that shows us how global trends in space are shifting. AI and technology are accelerating this, remixing cafés into co-working hubs, hotels into community anchors, and retail into cultural stages.
The bigger question is: how do we design spaces that people don’t just use, but actively seek out? And how can technology help us — or limit us — in creating these new destinations for community?
