Paper Space, it’s an installation created through the joint effort of Studio Glowacka and Maria Fulford Architects. The intent of the design was for 100% Design 2013. The idea was to design a space that can be functional for international events, lectures and debates. Keeping this in mind the space still had to be unique while still portraying these universal properties.

In defining the space, 1500 meters of white A4 draped paper defined the space creating an undulating ribbed form. From a distance, these take the shape of something rigid, but upon closer inspection, it is quite the opposite.

Hanging strips of A4 paper in a tubular form defines the space. As this still leaves the space open, it still allows those externally to the installation the ability to visually see what is happening internally.

Lighting wise, the installation depends on the lighting conditions of its surroundings. Therefore, the installation relies highly on its environment concerning lighting.

Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
