Pioneering essays, designs, and artworks by award-winning Spatial Futurist, Maria Lorena Lehman
FORESIGHT is where music meets the imagination of space. Here, Maria Lorena Lehman explores environmental design symphonics—a framework that applies musical principles such as counterpoint, orchestration, and form to the creation of future environments. Buildings, landscapes, and systems are treated as instruments in a composition, where rhythm, layering, and movement shape human experience over time.
Through writing, research, and speculative projects, Maria Lorena Lehman investigates how orchestral thinking can guide spatial futures, offering insights for designers, futurists, and anyone curious about the architecture of tomorrow. Just as Lehman's music leads listeners into worlds of possibility, FORESIGHT maps the pathways by which those worlds can come to life.
