Ferida in the City of Filide

Ferida in the City of Filide describes Filide as a city designed not as a destination but as a continuous route of experience, within which moves a creature called Ferida, with the project focusing not on where Ferida arrives but on how it transforms while moving through the city’s spaces. The journey begins at the lowest level of the city, where Ferida first comes into direct contact with the urban environment and starts to sense the desires, expectations, and emotional states circulating through Filide; at this stage, nothing is processed and the space is purely about awareness and perception. After this lower level, Ferida enters a stair route where these desires and expectations are collected, a transition that is not only physical but also internal, as Ferida moves upward carrying the city’s emotions and gathering them within itself. At the end of the stair, Ferida reaches the highest level and enters the Digestion Area, where all the gathered desires, expectations, and emotions are processed, broken down, and transformed. Following digestion, Ferida moves into the Observation Area, from which it looks down at Filide, observes the city from a distance, and reflects on its own position within it. After completing these two processes, Ferida returns to its own house, not as an escape but as a moment of rest and preparation, after which the cycle begins again with new emotions, new desires, and new expectations, emphasizing that Filide is not simply a city to be used but one that is continuously understood through Ferida’s journey.
