Glideology Deliberations on Traffic and Reimagining Urban Space

Rene Submissions — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 09:05:00 +0000

This is a book about the amenity that we call streets and how we choose to use them to move about. What makes the street so vitally important today is that it has the capacity to allow for many different modalities of travel to coexist in the public space instead of being dominated by any single mode of travel. Glideology, an invented word, is meant to evoke memories of gliding downhill on your bicycle as a child or sledding down a hill in the winter. Glideology represents an optimistic outlook for traffic for the near future. It anticipates that common-sense

Schools at the Border: How Architecture Supports Learning in Conditions of Displacement

Miwa Negoro — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 07:30:00 +0000

For millions of displaced children and young people, education unfolds amid conditions of forced mobility, administrative uncertainty, and prolonged precarity. Schools situated in borderlands, refugee settlements, and sites of climate-induced displacement therefore operate as more than educational facilities. They become spatial infrastructures that negotiate the contradictory demands of emergency and continuity, offering environments where learning persists despite the instability of legal status, living conditions, and the very feeling of being at home.

Reyyan Dogan — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 06:30:00 +0000

Architecture across Latin America this month reflects a growing emphasis on adaptation, whether responding to environmental risks, rethinking cultural institutions, or extending the life of existing buildings. Recent developments reveal a regional conversation shaped by resilience, heritage, and public space, where architecture is increasingly understood as part of broader urban, social, and environmental systems.

Antonia Piñeiro — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 05:30:00 +0000

As part of the official programme for Barcelona as the UNESCO-UIA World Capital of Architecture, the Jardí Botànic de Barcelona is hosting "Parlour Gardens: Dreams from the Rooftop," a display of ceramic installations proposing a journey through landscape architecture.

Rubió i Tudurí, Llorenç Artigas, and Raoul Dufy. Installations by 14 global landscape architects will be scattered across the botanical grounds, grouped by homoclimatic zones to pair each design with fitting regional plant life, through 4 October 2026.

Form Follows Living: 6 Unbuilt Collective Housing Projects from the ArchDaily Community

Antonia Piñeiro — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Contemporary housing architecture faces the pressing demands of the global housing deficit and growing urban populations. In architectural practice, we see recurring experimentation with new forms of collective living, taking on the task of offering spaces for personal, family, and community development. The six unbuilt projects presented here show us different facets of the decision to densify: the relationship with pre-existing and planned nature, the availability of urban or suburban land, the development of complementary intermediate spaces that support collective life and ease the experience of density, the replicability of densification models, and the relationship with the neighborhood that accommodates population growth.

Pratik Mour — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 03:00:00 +0000

The core concept of Mac Casa is a liberated living environment that seamlessly blurs the boundaries between the interior and exterior.

Here, human routines and nature coexist harmoniously beneath a vast, sweeping canopy of shade.

House Between Walls / Studio UF+O

Pratik Mour — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 02:00:00 +0000

In villages across Rajasthan, houses are traditionally shaped around courtyards, built to absorb social life during festivals and family gatherings, while also offering protection from heat, dust, and constant public visibility. These homes are rarely static. They expand and contract with occupation, shifting between intense communal use and private life. It is within this layered condition of climate, community, and absence that House Between Walls in Rewatra finds its ground.

Flow House / Felipe Caboclo Arquitetura

Nana Dokua — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Casa Flow was born from the desire to create a free, fluid architecture in constant dialogue with the landscape. The project stems from the idea that a house should not dictate a way of living, but rather offer the freedom for its inhabitants to shape their own experiences. Located in Porto Feliz, the residence follows the natural contours of the site, establishing a quiet connection with the horizon and its surroundings.
