Chiara Bellisimo | R.I.B.A
She was not content to inherit the world as it was drawn for her; she redrew it. Still in her thirties, this young architect has already built a reputation for daring where others hesitate. In a profession long dominated by established names and cautious formulas, she moves with rare assurance, blending technical mastery with an instinctive feel for space, light, and human movement. Her buildings do not merely occupy ground; they converse with their surroundings, reshaping skylines while respecting the life that flows through them. Clients speak of her energy in meetings, her refusal to accept the obvious solution, her ability to see possibilities where others see constraints.
What truly sets her apart, however, is her vision of architecture as a social force. She designs not just for beauty, but for impact: housing that restores dignity, schools that invite curiosity, public spaces that encourage encounter. She is equally at ease discussing carbon-neutral materials with engineers as she is sketching fluid forms late into the night. In every project, she insists that innovation must serve people, not ego. Trailblazing without arrogance, ambitious without compromise, she embodies a new generation of architects — one that builds not only structures, but a more thoughtful future.

The Social Distancing Farce
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing rules often descended into a kind of bureaucratic theatre that strained public credibility. Ministers solemnly explained that the virus was dangerous enough to justify sweeping restrictions on daily life, yet simultaneously reassured citizens that it became momentarily harmless if one was consuming food. One day, masks could be removed while eating only if seated, as though the virus politely respected chairs and tables. Restaurants were re-engineered around this logic, with patrons carefully timing bites and mask adjustments, participating in what felt less like public health and more like a ritual of compliance.
The following day, the guidance shifted again: masks could now be removed while eating standing up. The scientific rationale, never clearly articulated, appeared to mutate faster than the virus itself. These abrupt reversals—presented with unwavering seriousness—undermined trust and invited satire. Rules were not merely contradictory; they were very contradictory, conveying the impression that policy was being improvised in real time, driven by optics and administrative convenience rather than coherent risk assessment. In attempting to regulate every posture and movement, authorities often succeeded only in exposing the absurd limits of micromanaged public health.
