Moote: Spatial History

History is told in time. Here, it’s revealed in space.

At MOOTE, I create visual essays that explore cities through self-made maps, historical artworks, and urban analysis.

Drawing from my background in architecture and a Master's in Architecture & History from Politecnico di Milano, I explore how streets, walls, grids, and buildings reveal the forces of time, power, and everyday life.

Having lived and studied across China and Europe, I often approach cities comparatively—from imperial China's walled capitals to Europe's fortified centers.

This is an independent, one-person project — research, maps, and editing all done by me alone. Updates are slow, but every episode is deeply researched.

PS✨: Each city unfolds across 2–3 stand-alone episodes, each exploring a different historical question. Together, they form a larger story of the city.
