THE JOURNEY
interstellar
personal narrative
the making of a space architect.
status: evolving
decoding bias in the built environment — and reimagining how architecture could serve all bodies, identities, and futures.
a personal narrative that became a platform — a talk, a provocation, and a creative methodology.

The Journey is a personal narrative that became a platform — a talk, a provocation, and a creative methodology.
What began as one architect’s search for meaning in a field where she was often the only woman in the room evolved into an exploration of design, power, and perspective. This journey that became a flagship talk where Michal Ziso shares the deeply personal — and universally resonant — path that led her from construction sites and boardrooms to space labs and global stages.
The core question: What happens when the world we live in has been designed by a narrow demographic? And what becomes possible when we challenge that default?
The unexpected answers arrived from outer space. Through the lens of space architecture, Michal began to decode bias in the built environment — and to reimagine how architecture could serve all bodies, identities, and futures.
Delivered at events from TEDxISU to NASA to Israel Space Week and global conferences, The Journey continues — offering insight, inspiration, and a call to rethink how design shapes who we become. For speaking invitations or immersive workshop inquiries, get in touch at info@theziso.com.
