Ochre Residence / Thought Parallels

Pratik Mour — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Project Ochre, this residence draws its identity directly from the earth. The name perfectly encapsulates the home's grounding material palette defined by baked terracotta, rich timber, coconut wood roofing, and natural cane and its overall atmosphere of unpretentious warmth.

Wildcoast Residence / Studio Kennon

Pratik Mour — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 17:00:00 +0000

A house that does not resist the coast so much as negotiate with it. Positioned at the southern edge of the Mornington Peninsula, where the land yields to Bass Strait, the house inhabits a landscape of remarkable intensity. Wind arrives unbroken from the Southern Ocean, rain travels across the horizon, and the air is saturated with salt. The architecture does not resist these forces. Instead, it settles quietly into them, becoming part of the character of the place.

O House / YES! Architects

Valentina Díaz — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Casa O sits on a corner lot in a traditional neighborhood of Pilar. The project is conceived from a contrast between its south and north façades: one that builds hermeticism, the other that dematerializes it. The central pursuit is the construction of silence. The organizing decision is to deploy the program longitudinally, generating a 38-meter frontage along the lot line: a blind wall that reveals the main entrance and shelters the interior dwelling.

Casa Baruk Restaurant / Memola Estúdio

Nana Dokua — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Upon crossing the threshold of Casa Baruk in Higienópolis, São Paulo, the architecture reveals a meeting of traditions. The spatial sequence leads the visitor through an immersive experience, in which the perception of the environment expands in an almost tactile way, also echoing in the flavors that reach the table.

Sanduteca – Sandwich Library / Estúdio Cajalima

Nana Dokua — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

The design of Sanduteca, located in Galeria Metrópole, grew out of the idea of creating a space that functions as a "library of flavors"—forming a small archive of tastes and seasonings from around the world. The goal was to establish an "educational" environment that engages customers through a didactic interior architecture, blending vintage and contemporary elements.

Full Renovation LVL / Ábaton

Cristina Popescu — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 11:00:00 +0000

This house, one of the ÁBATON integral reforms in Madrid, is located on a plot of 2,500 m² and has 600 m² built. The original house had excellent qualities to be rehabilitated and converted into a modern house in a beautiful environment. Therefore, efforts were made to generate new spaces with architectural quality that would take advantage of its location and the richness of the plot.

Park of the Reggia di Rivalta / Openfabric + caarpa + FM Ingegneria

Nina Vuga — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0000

The Park of the Reggia di Rivalta, inaugurated in June 2025, marks the transformation of a historic site into a new ecological and cultural infrastructure.

Bentinck Apartment / agence ontwerp

Andreas Luco — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 06:00:00 +0000

The project marks the beginning of agence ontwerp's work on highlighting 1960s heritage. It redesigns an apartment on the seventh floor of a gallery-flat building in Rotterdam, designed by Harry Nefkens in 1958. This type of property is often overlooked in favor of nearby buildings that are older and perceived as more charming.

D+dd Friendship Bay Store / Sò Studio

Andreas Luco — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 02:00:00 +0000

D+dd occupies a compact building at the corner of a community square, surrounded by an auditorium, residential blocks and other structures from different periods. Originally used as a back-of-house support space, the building has long been embedded in the everyday life of the neighbourhood, where pedestrian movement, social interactions and community activities continuously overlap. When Sò Studio began the renovation, the site already carried a distinct spatial identity shaped by years of use.

Lomadas House / Grizzo Studio

Pratik Mour — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Casa Lomadas is set on a double plot opening onto more than one hundred meters of lagoon shoreline. The project is defined by a precise morphological operation: a folded bar of exposed concrete rests on two mounds of native vegetation, configuring a system in which architecture and landscape are fully integrated.

Mel House / Francisco Lang Arquitetura

Nana Dokua — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Located in the municipality of Cavalcante, in the heart of the Chapada dos Veadeiros, amidst the preserved Cerrado and with views of the Santana mountain range, Casa da Mel was conceived during the pregnancy of the architect's daughter. The project was built to welcome the family with Mel's arrival.

23 Living / Plan:b arquitectos

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:00:00 +0000

This commission consisted of the design of a residential building on a long plot with a steep slope. The Provenza neighborhood, located on the eastern hillside of the city of Medellín, features an irregular urban grid, partly shaped by the sloping topography. In this context, we proposed that the new building incorporate a stepped public path on its southern side, crossing the block and shortening the pedestrian route.

Santo Antonio Apartment / Balaio Arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

The reasons for choosing an apartment are diverse and revolve around what can and cannot be transformed. Location, room dimensions, natural light, and existing spatial layouts require an eye on the present, but also on the potential that the future holds.

Curtain House / Johnsen Schmaling Architects

Nana Dokua — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Curtain House is a private residence on a long, vacant, narrow parcel embedded in Milwaukee's Lower East Side, a dense demographically diverse neighborhood known for affordable housing options and its lively mix of young families, blue-collar workers, students and artists. The clients, lifelong urban dwellers looking for a buildable lot in the central city to build their first home, acquired the 24'-wide infill property directly from the Milwaukee Department of City Development, which had taken ownership of it two decades earlier after condemning and razing an abandoned house there.

Pavillon of the Sliding Doors / Piertzovanis Toews

Cristina Popescu — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0000

It all began with an open letter to the local town council, which caused a small stir in the village of Nuglar–St. Pantaleon in Switzerland. Young people, full of energy and ideas, were looking for a shelter where they could meet and gather. They had already assembled in various places around the village, but each time it led to friction with other residents, who often found them too loud.

OPEN CALL: SHORT FILMS

The Pan African Biennale invites filmmakers, artists, designers, and spatial practitioners to submit short films that engage critically and creatively with contemporary African conditions. This open call seeks moving-image works that explore shifting landscapes, embodied knowledge systems, and speculative futures across the

Design Competition for the Prishtina City Cemetery

Rene Submissions — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 09:25:00 +0000

The Municipality of Pristina / Capital City has initiated a comprehensive and inclusive
planning process for the development of the Capital City Cemetery of Pristina,
conceived as a contemporary civic, memorial, landscape, and digital public
infrastructure of long-term importance.

When Mobility Becomes the Ground: Architecture, Adaptation, and the Search for Continuity

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 07:30:00 +0000

Few conditions have shaped contemporary architectural discourse as profoundly as uncertainty. Across international biennials, exhibitions, and forums, architecture increasingly imagines its relationship to the world through flexibility, reversibility, and responsiveness—qualities intended to engage with climate emergencies, political instability, and unprecedented human mobility. Buildings are designed to transform, infrastructures to evolve, and cities to accommodate conditions that appear increasingly unpredictable. This emphasis on agility has expanded the discipline's capacity to engage with environmental change, offering valuable strategies for a world in constant transformation.
