Why We Created the Intersections Forum

Creative disciplines do not develop in isolation, even when professional structures suggest otherwise.

Architecture shapes how people move, gather, rest, and work. Art shapes how people interpret those experiences — emotionally, culturally, and personally. Yet conversations about these disciplines often happen separately, within their own professional circles.

The Intersections Forum was created to address that divide.

Over years of publishing Studio Tour Magazine, it became

increasingly clear that some of the most compelling creative insights emerge when disciplines overlap. Painters speak about space. Architects speak about narrative. Designers speak about emotion. Photographers speak about structure. These ideas already intersect in practice — but rarely in conversation.

The forum is not designed as a conference in the conventional sense. There are no sales pitches, no competing panels, and no performative presentations. Instead, it is structured as a focused, three-day exchange among artists, architects, designers, and thinkers who are interested in how creative work shapes lived experience.

This is not about trends.

It is about perspective.

The Intersections Forum exists because thoughtful creative dialogue requires space — and because those spaces are increasingly rare.
