If you landed here, you’re in good company… I'm Inés, an architecture graduate who didn’t follow the conventional path. Having struggled to fit the ‘architect’ mould myself, I now guide others to unlock their potential — so they can expand their role beyond designing buildings and shape the systems change our planet longs for. Currently writing a book and open to impact-focused collaborations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/7ea5b40e-2387-4491-abcf-37a0db81d6d3/WASDNTY_insideout.gif

I would love to see our industry as an inspiring + rewarding place to be where we dream together, empower each other + ultimately make this world more in love with itself again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/77b45e7a-d69c-43bb-be6e-b2e90321dcee/2+Self-Awareness+Is+Key+to+Self-Mastery.png A Journey of Empowerment - Self-Awareness is Key to Self-Mastery / Architecture Lesson #2 We are facing a time of upheaval + uncertainty where inner stability + clarity are crucial. This episode serves as a base for the upcoming lessons/stories + suggests how each one of you knows deep down what we are + want, but you are not conscious of it due to layers of social conditioning. Self-awareness is key + implies a mindset shift in order to create a steady flow of 'becoming'. This means getting rid of habits, changing beliefs + peeling off layers of conditioning which leaves you with a pure, all-knowing core of Self. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/0bbd68aa-5ab7-4a34-9071-0fc5d3fbbae7/3+Don%27t+Compare+Yourself+to+Others.png A Journey of Empowerment - Don’t Compare Yourself to Others / Architecture Lesson #3 Architecture studies + the industry overall can be very competitive, so it can be difficult not to get caught up in a rat race of comparing yourself to your colleague's skills + abilities.

This episode demonstrates how self-doubt is normal + very necessary for progress & innovation. By simply questioning your doubts upfront, you can learn more about yourself + use them to expand. All you’ll ever need is already in you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/98393d0e-d073-4c26-898e-a4cbbd9957c3/5+How+to+Find+Your+Tribe.png A Journey of Empowerment - How to Find Your Tribe / Architecture Lesson #5 In an era of individualism, the importance of finding + cultivating your tribe cannot be emphasized enough. This episode demonstrates how you can find connection at school/work + use the universal law of attraction to attract ‘your people’ into your life.

Just like pc’s, we also need to regularly upgrade our internal softwares in order to be bold + reality-bending radicals. Check out this episode to upgrade your mental operation system! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/2b69fde2-1cb6-4aad-ad9b-ca121e68087a/7+Discover+and+Nurture+Your+Passions.png A Journey of Empowerment - Discover and Nurture Your Passions / Architecture Lesson #7 What if solving our (global) problems is not just a matter of innovation + progress but also a matter of self-knowledge + awareness? We can create enormous change when we become conscious of how + where we can contribute best with our innate talents, passions + interests. You have a unique combination of natural talents, strengths + interests, and in this episode I'm happy to share with you how I found mine, so you can find yours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/caecca2c-56f2-4160-8b30-9f615a936bd6/8+What%27s+Your+Personal+Expression%3F.png A Journey of Empowerment - What’s Your Personal Expression? / Architecture Lesson #8 Do you think it is a coincidence that some topics feel more fun to you, that some activities come more natural to you, that you feel so compassionate about certain topics? You have so many different expressions within you + it's easier than you think to unlock them. All it takes is a mindset shift + some action. This episode will teach you how to get closer to your inherent expression + therefore closer to your true calling. Are you ready? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/5231048d-ee3b-43ea-9aa5-e34fa6e931c6/9+How+to+be+a+Multi-Passionate.png A Journey of Empowerment - How to be a Multi-Passionate / Architecture Lesson #9 Are you one of those multi-passionate people who want to do so many things in their life? You don't know how + when to accommodate all your interests? Been there, done that. Being the way you are is actually your gift! Within this episode I propose some strategies + mindset tricks, so listen up if you need some clarity on how to handle your crazy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/5f6dcfdd-39df-41a3-b19b-7db74690302c/10+Turn+Your+Passions+into+a+Career.png A Journey of Empowerment - Turn Your Passions into a Career / Architecture Lesson #10 While your passions are precious + beautiful, some of them are worth monetizing + some of them are simply to be kept as a hobby. How do you know when your passion can stand the 'passion test' + has the potential for an actual career? Within this episode, I propose 2 steps on how to determine whether your passion has potential + give you insight on how to create a compelling mission + vision statement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/9b9fcf76-2746-4d04-8ec3-84f32516626f/11+Mindfulness+for+Architects.png A Journey of Empowerment - Mindfulness for Architects / Architecture Lesson #11 In this episode, I talk about my massive breakdown during my studies that encouraged me to rethink my beliefs + habits. In a world that encourages 'faster' + 'more', it can become difficult to know when to slow down. Architecture studies + the industry itself can be very stressful at times, but by cultivating a strong mindset + connection of mind-body-spirit, we can actually ‘do more by doing less'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/0090ed3c-c396-4c4e-81c9-d5aa3c2d897c/12+Fail+Forward.png A Journey of Empowerment - Fail Forward / Architecture Lesson #12 Sometimes we need to reach a low point in order to gain awareness. For me, my breakdown felt as if I've failed as I labelled it as 'bad'. We are so conditioned by society to avoid failure at all costs, but what if it is a blessing in disguise with a hidden treasure? This episode is about the link between creativity + failure, thus how you as an architect/designer/creative can use it to your advantage by simply changing your view of it. By guiding you through a simple visualization technique that I use on a regular basis, you may return back to your inner peace in order to remember who you are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/7bd2acdb-dfaa-4d98-89ff-81f7f3a89f9c/13+Design+For+People.png A Journey of Empowerment - Design ‘For’ People / Architecture Lesson #13 The study trip to India was an eye-opener. By actually meeting the community 1-on-1, I realized what I had forgotten all the way: that by studying Architecture I am designing ‘for’ people. The challenge is to remember what that really means + how we can shift Architecture from separation to connectedness. In this episode, I reflect on how architects can shift from selfish self-expression to collaborative creations + community potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/79bc01e5-6340-4c83-8ad5-15de5df9ffd2/14+Lessons+from+an+Indian+Guru.png A Journey of Empowerment - Lessons From an Indian Guru / Architecture Lesson #14 In India, our TukTuk driver proposed to visit a guru. I said 'Yes, sure' - same day I find myself having one of the most bizarre 30 minutes of my life with a person who prophesizes: My memory will deteriorate over the next months. Little did I know that 3 weeks later back in Holland, I could hardly distinguish a floorplan from a section. This episode is all about how an unexpected guru visit can lead to great insights + messages that potentially make or break a (future) architect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cae9cb2fb18202364b870cc/2639dc78-ff28-403b-88b7-9f1a6738004a/15+Collaboration+is+Crucial+for+Architects.png A Journey of Empowerment - Collaboration is Crucial for Architects / Architecture Lesson #15 Teamwork can be energizing + fun, but also draining + conflict-ridden. It can bring out the best + the worst in you. As a poor teamwork experience at school led me down a spiral of disbelief, I learnt a lot of lessons that, ultimately, empowered me. This episode suggests how interpersonal issues are your best education to improve your character, learn to communicate + adapt quickly to different professionals. https://www.architectureisnotabox.com/registration-content-stella daily 0.75 2025-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59284562a5790a6b9072d0bc/1510775112046-84C1X99RROVCIH6D7B1H/PICKUPS_012.jpg Registration Content https://www.architectureisnotabox.com/registration-cta-stella daily 0.75 2025-05-06
