kgva CMS 6b59b58082 feat: category tags (design/film/photo/text) on the portfolio index
new categories taxonomy, multi-value per project. shown inline in each ls row as [tag] after the slug, muted like the other row metadata and inverting with it on hover/select. reuses the existing shared taxonomy template, so /categories/ and /categories/<tag>/ come for free as browsable archives in the same shell style already used for schools/degrees/semesters.\n\nassigned by medium: design for anything with plans/models, film for the two video projects, photo for the trieste study trip, text alongside design for translation (collage + accompanying theoretical text).

in collaboration with tim schwander and jérôme arnold, this work engages with architectural ways of thinking that are less quoted than translated. it understands itself as a field of experimentation in which systems of order, landscape, and fragment shift against one another.
a continuous grid lies over the entire composition — inspired by the metaphorical working method of oswald mathias ungers. the grid initially defines clarity and system, but loses its precision through overlay and shifts in scale. measure becomes relative, hierarchies dissolve.
the spatial elements are set isometrically, producing an additive sense of depth without a classical vanishing point. surface becomes topography, structure becomes surface — an architectural dialectic between system and place, typology and situation.
what emerges is not a closed composition but an open system: fragmented, layered, contradictory — and coherent precisely because of it.
