THE GUARDIAN OF SPHEROPOLIS: An Exclusive Interview with Giotto, the World’s Most Influential Cat

By Global Design Dispatch

In the high-stakes world of futuristic urbanism, there is a judge more feared than any building inspector and more insightful than any starchitect. He wears a brown beret, enjoys a good nap, and happens to be a cat. His name is Giotto, and in the visionary world of Enrico Thanhoffer (the mind behind Fanty Building), he is the ultimate validator of the Globism movement.

We traveled to the heart of Spheropolis to find Giotto resting on his signature round table, suspended above a skyline of levitated domes and emerald corridors.

For Giotto, architecture is a binary choice: either it is "hard" (the enemy) or it is "levitated" (home).

"Humans have a strange obsession with boxes," Giotto explains (translated from his sophisticated purrs). "They live in boxes, work in boxes, and think in boxes. But life is a curve. My role here is simple: if I can’t sleep on it, it shouldn't be built."

When asked about the world-famous Mutanda Buildings, Giotto’s tail twitches with amusement.

"People call it a provocation. I call it common sense. Why should a building be naked and exposed to the cold gaze of the world? By clothing these structures, Enrico is protecting their 'urban soul.' A building with underwear is a building that respects its own privacy. I feel much safer napping in a place that knows the value of intimacy."

Interviewer: Giotto, why the round table? Why not a standard desk?Giotto: "Edges are a sign of a failed imagination. A round table has no beginning and no end. It mirrors the spheres of Spheropolis. It allows the energy—and my whiskers—to flow freely. On this table, I am the center of a peaceful universe."

Interviewer: What is your message to the architects of the 'old world'?Giotto: "Stop building for machines and start building for whiskers. If a space doesn't invite a cat to close its eyes and dream, it’s not fit for a human either. The future must be soft, or it won't be at all."

Through Giotto, Enrico Thanhoffer reminds us that the goal of Globism isn't just to create beautiful 3D renders, but to design a "Biological Utopia." Giotto isn't just a mascot; he is the biological sensor of the city. As long as he continues to nap peacefully above Spheropolis, we can rest assured that the future is in good hands—or rather, good paws.
