Pedro, just outside my hotel in Lisbon.

In the series ‘small talks’ for Happyplaces, I had a great conversation with Pedro Barbicas Ferreira, my taxi driver who drove me from the airport to the hotel in Lisbon. We instantly stumbled into a conversation. He shared how he creates space in his life, work, and future space-making plans.

For my playful research project, Happyplaces Project, I ask people how they make space or what space means to them. I have had over 1,100 conversations and often capture them in film, photos, and stories. But I have yet to capture many people who made space for me or taught me something. That is what I’m doing now. Pedro is one of those people.
