Architecture of being, echoes of the self in inhabited space
Manuel Doval, 2025

ARCHITECTURE OF BEING. Echoes of the self in inhabited space:
It is a work of thought and emotion. Through 235 reflections, Manuel Doval constructs an intimate journey through the invisible dimensions of the human being: self-esteem, attachments, love and heartbreak, loneliness, creativity, calm, pain, hope, and the meaning of existence.
Each thought engages in dialogue with a quote from an emblematic author—philosophers, poets, psychologists, and universal writers—which lends profound resonance to each theme. The result is a symbolic architecture of human experience, where each word acts as a habitable space, a refuge for the mind and heart.
With a poetic and philosophical, yet approachable tone, this book invites you to pause, reflect, and feel. It is an emotional and aesthetic guide that accompanies the reader on their quest for balance, understanding, and self-knowledge. It is not just a book: it is an inner world to be explored with the eyes and the soul.

Manuel Doval holds a PhD in Architecture and Urban Planning, and a diploma in Philosophy and Emotional Management. He has extensive teaching and research experience at universities in Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, and Spain, exploring the relationship between space, emotion, and memory.
With Architecture of Being. Echoes of the Self in Inhabited Space , the author offers an introspective and sensitive look at the construction of being and the inner spaces that shape us.
