Millaisena

Millaisena is a term used in worldbuilding and speculative design to describe a cohesive approach to urban form and landscape integration that emphasizes light, water management, and modular construction. It is not recognized as an established real-world architectural style. The name is linked to a fictional figure Millais and carries connotations of illumination and openness, with the suffix -ena implying a school or tradition within a fictional discourse.

In practice, millaisena envisions neighborhoods composed of modular, scalable units that can be reconfigured as populations grow. Buildings prioritize daylighting, with perforated facades and rainwater harvesting. Public spaces weave through the blocks via elevated walkways and green corridors, encouraging pedestrian movement and social interaction.

Origins and usage: Appears in worldbuilding communities and tabletop role-playing settings as a design ethos; used to describe towns that adapt to climate and resource constraints. The approach favors climate-responsive design, low-energy systems, and community-focused planning.
