Tabasco 267 is the renovation of a 90-square-meter (968-square-foot) apartment in the Roma Norte neighborhood of Mexico City. CAAM used the existing conditions as the project's primary raw material, transforming the layout, ceilings, finishes, lighting, and furniture.

Susanna Moreira — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Located in the historic neighborhood of Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro, this sewing studio occupies a platform surrounded by a stone retaining wall, built over 200 years ago, according to local reports. This pre-existing structure establishes the architectural concept, serving both as a physical boundary and structural support for the new intervention.

Coco House / CVA Arquitectos

Valentina Díaz — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Living immersed in nature. House and nature are conceived as an indissoluble entity. Designed as a weekend refuge for the architect herself and her dog "Coco," the project synthesizes her personal quest to live immersed in nature. This search began with the idea of carefully integrating the volume with the existing vegetation and connecting it precisely to the natural terrain. In this way, the house harmoniously adapts to the steep slope, merging with it and becoming an integral part of the landscape.

House in Beloura / ARX Portugal Arquitectos

Susanna Moreira — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 13:00:00 +0000

The house is positioned on the site with the aim of responding in a relatively simple way to two central questions: How can it capture a panoramic view of the horizon, which also brings us the presence of the sea? How can it embrace outdoor spaces that simultaneously protect the residents' privacy from neighbors' views and ensure comfort on days of strong wind?

French Creek Workshops House / Wittman Estes

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +0000

This home for a newly retired couple sits beside a wetland on a four-and-a-half-acre site once used as an animal sanctuary. Conceived as a serene retreat immersed in nature, it offers comfort and beauty throughout the seasons, sheltering its occupants during the cool, rainy months and opening outward during the dry, warm season.

MKR Store in Seville / Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra

Valeria Silva — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The refurbishment Project for the multilabel shop MKR arises from the demand of reorganizing and giving a new image to the existing retail space: an unstructured and limited space, not in compliance with the actual regulatory standards.

Rustoordlaan / Atelier M Architects + Planners bv

Cristina Popescu — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Nestled within Heuvelhofpark in Kessel-Lo (BE) lies the new replacement housing project for the social housing company Dijledal. To maximize the preservation of the existing trees and the park, the building's footprint was kept highly compact and rotated 17 degrees. Wrapped in light green terracotta panels and finished with reseda green windows, the 30 units offer residents the ultimate luxury: a living experience right up among the treetops.

Human-Centered Design: How does design shape the way we live, feel, and connect?

Rene Submissions — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:15:00 +0000

To say that we design "for people" seems like a fundamental premise of architecture. However, this statement presents a problem: people are not a homogeneous category.

Human-Centered Design invites us to question whom we observe, listen to, and represent when making design decisions. Through an interdisciplinary conversation, we will explore how physical, sensory, and social needs influence architecture and interior design, and how these shape our way of living, feeling, and connecting.

Drawing from the fields of health, air transport, education, urban planning, and architectural representation, various perspectives will bring these priorities into dialogue.

Rene Submissions — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:10:00 +0000

Urbanism for What? Professional Practice in an Expanded Field

The Faculty of Architecture at the Federal University of Bahia (FAUFBA), through the research groups LAB20 and Laboratório Urbano, and the State University of Bahia (UNEB) invite researchers, faculty, and professionals to the seventh edition of the Urbanism and Urbanists in Brazil Seminar, which aims to discuss professional practice in urbanism within its expanded field.

Starting from the question “Urbanism for what?”, the event seeks to reflect on the issues that mobilize this field, the knowledge that guides its practices, and the boundaries that define its role in contemporary society. In dialogue with fields such as

DMA, Nasher and Modern Art Museum Fort Worth Directors in Conversation

Rene Submissions — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:05:00 +0000

Program Overview:
As North Texas continues to grow, its cultural landscape is evolving as well. In addition to meeting the needs of a new generation of North Texans, the museums of Dallas and Fort Worth are welcoming new directors who are ushering in a different kind of museum visitor, one who sees the world through a rapidly shifting cultural lens and, perhaps, through a reconsidered architectural lens as well. Whether leading a capital building project or rethinking what it means to engage with a museum collection in a revered space, this panel discussion will explore insights from the three newest museum

The Invisible Brief: How Laboratory Needs Shape Research Buildings

Daniela Andino — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 07:30:00 +0000

A floor that feels solid may still be moving. Vibrations travel through the ground and across buildings, often at levels too small for people to notice. Most have little effect on everyday activities, but in some research laboratories, instruments measuring matter at the nanoscale can register movements this small, and even traffic several miles away can interfere with an experiment.

Black Miller House / Three Sixty Architecture

Pratik Mour — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Black Miller House is conceived as a cluster of contemporary pavilions embedded within a 32-hectare coastal hill landscape. The design retains much of the existing dwelling while introducing new living and sleeping wings, creating a relaxed, climate-responsive retreat that feels grounded in the land and open to the expansive outlook. Rather than replacing the original structure, the project adopts a strategy of selective demolition, retention, and expansion, allowing the building to evolve while respecting its historical presence on the site.

Why BIM Still Doesn't Know What Your Building Is Made Of

Eduardo Souza — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 06:45:00 +0000

Move a wall in Revit and every plan, section and schedule follows. Change a material, though, and the team is often back in specifications, spreadsheets and drawings, checking that they all describe the same choice.

Latin America in Focus: This Month in Architecture, Social Housing, and Heritage Recovery

Reyyan Dogan — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 06:30:00 +0000

This October, architecture across Latin America became a platform for exchange, bringing together discussions on inhabitation, cultural identity, emerging practices, and the relationship between the built environment and its wider context. From conversations on emerging architectural practices and material research at Design Week Mexico to new approaches to housing, landscape, and public space in Chile and Mexico, recent developments highlight how architecture responds to specific local conditions. Across the region, initiatives addressing climate adaptation and heritage recovery in the Dominican Republic and Colombia also bring attention to the changing responsibilities of cultural institutions and the built environment.

Súria Library / Javier de las Heras Solé

Cristina Popescu — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 06:00:00 +0000

A public space for gathering and meeting. Through repetition and pattern, this project proposes an architecture that eschews gratuitous gestures, one in which the focus is on the citizen and the ways in which they use the space. It is an architecture that recognizes and highlights existing physical, heritage, and cultural elements, integrating itself into the context and fostering the collective appropriation of the place.

Many have already been confirmed, and the curatorial team is finalising the line-up.

The Work of Keeping a Public Building Public: The Drill Hall in Johannesburg

Toke Joseph — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 04:00:00 +0000

What happens to a building after the architecture is finished? For buildings intended to serve the public, their continued life depends on more than the physical conditions of their construction. It involves the activities that take place within them, the relationships they allow to develop, the people who occupy and shape them, and the institutional structures responsible for their upkeep. Yet these conditions are not always secured through the act of building itself. They are continually negotiated, often through forms of work that remain outside the conventional understanding of architectural practice.

Villa Sahar / Mahfoud Laasri Architecte - MLA

Pratik Mour — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Sahar is a private residence in Casablanca conceived around the interplay of mass and lightness, materiality and transparency, and architecture and landscape. Its name, derived from the Arabic word سَحَر, refers to the moment just before dawn. The principal facade faces east, making morning light an essential part of the project's identity and an inspiration for its architectural expression.

Funamoto Dental Clinic / STUDIO ALUC

Pratik Mour — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 02:00:00 +0000

This project is a newly built dental clinic located in Uchinada, Ishikawa Prefecture. STUDIO ALUC was responsible for the design as a whole, from architecture to interior spaces and custom furniture. Strong winds sweeping in from the Sea of Japan and the overcast skies of Hokuriku—guided by this climate and an irregular triangular site, the architecture takes the form of four staggered volumes.

Hotel Amares / Cel-Ras Arquitectura

Cristina Popescu — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Amares stands on a 14,152 m² beachfront site on Playa El Estillero, near El Limón, on the northern coast of the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic. The plot lies between the Atlantic and a backdrop of coconut palms and tropical forest, in one of the few stretches of Caribbean coast still free from large-scale tourism.

House Toca / ARKITITO Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Going against the grain of a traditional residence, Casa Toca emerges from a diverse program that includes domestic spaces, an art studio, a music studio, and areas for gatherings — reflecting the lifestyle of its residents, architect Tito Ficarelli and visual artist Luiza Gottschalk, who are also responsible for the design. This is the third home conceived and built by the couple for different stages of their life together.

The Vineyard HOUSE? / Lauti Esain

Valentina Díaz — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:00:00 +0000

The Vineyard ?HOUSE? On September 10, 2022, at 12:29 p.m., I broke ground with the first of thousands of shovels I would dig to build my house. But the story began in my second year of architecture school, when I lost my parents. That was when I started working and saving, just in case something happened to me. Then, a dream emerged: to live on a vineyard. I decided that if I didn't need to use those savings upon graduating, I would use them to build my house. When I graduated, my savings were enough for 215 sq ft (20 m²), but by building it with my own hands, I could save on labor costs and reach 355 sq ft (33 m²).

House Around a Column / fala

Susanna Moreira — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:00:00 +0000

The compact plot sits within a dense piece of urban fabric, surrounded on all sides by neighbouring houses. Its shape is skewed. The project begins with the challenge of inscribing a house into this distorted figure. The longest wall of the plot becomes the guide. From it, a set of geometric rules gradually unfolds, quietly organising the plan.
