As part of the ongoing coastline landscape improvement project for the Shenzhou Peninsula, the Conch Station aims to enhance public services and visitor experience. The site faces the enormous scale of the nature. The design of the Conch Station chooses to blend the spatial boundary into the surrounding landscape. Two curved walls rise gently from the site, and the station's functional spaces recede between the white walls and the roof.

Rather than resolving the brief as a conventional hospitality fit-out, the project uses boldness as an architectural strategy, translating the simple pleasure of gelato into a spatial experience that is public, generous and deliberately engaging.

Retaining walls and part of the foundation from the old structure have been reused. The sports court, which was previously at the same level as the indoor swimming pools, is now placed above them to free up a west-facing access plaza, which includes new outdoor courts and a small fronton. To the south, a new solarium with an outdoor swimming pool, children's water play areas, and two small auxiliary pavilions for changing rooms and storage are created.

The building is composed of five volumes of varying dimensions. Their staggered arrangement creates narrow passages and courtyard-like intermediate spaces along the eastern and western sides. These spaces are integral to the spatial concept: they mediate between house and garden and respond in their positioning to the existing trees. In the southeast, a terrace connects the two southern volumes, extending the living space into the landscape.

Its urban history began in 1769 with the arrival of a Spanish military expedition commanded by Gaspar de Portola, which marked the first permanent settlement in the territory that was known as Alta California. However, unlike the more formally urbanized administrative capitals and towns of Mexico and Central America, San Diego was conceived as a frontier outpost. Today, it has become the second-largest city in California, just after Los Angeles, and its urban grid tells a story about the Hispanic heritage that is intertwined with the contemporary cultural environment of the United States.

XINTIANDI DONGTAILI marks a new chapter in the evolution of one of Shanghai's most iconic neighborhoods. More than a commercial development, it is a reimagining of urban space: socially engaged, architecturally contextual, and rooted in the vision of a Total Community. Through an integrated approach spanning architecture, interior, and urban strategies, the project cultivates a walkable environment—one that invites daily encounters and a deeper sense of place within the city's landscape.

Built on a sloped lot with a stunning view of the Serra da Moeda, the social area of the house is oriented toward the front portion of the property. For this reason, the kitchen and dining area occupy the central space of the layout, in an integrated space with a double-height ceiling. The rest of the house is organized around the living area, with special attention to integration with the external leisure areas.

Rather than competing with the original structure, the extension acts as a careful continuation — a reinterpretation rather than an addition.

For most people, its first encounter was far more immediate. It was a chair in an office, a shelf in a living room, a compact unit that reorganized how one sat, stored, or slept. Long before modern architecture could be widely commissioned, it was furniture that entered everyday space, carrying with it a new logic of living. Modernism's promise of transforming life was often delivered through these smaller, repeatable objects.

Modernism is often encountered through built form, photographed facades, canonical plans, concrete manifestos. For most people, its first encounter was far more immediate. It was a chair in an office, a shelf in a living room, a compact unit that reorganized how one sat, stored, or slept. Long before modern architecture could be widely commissioned, it was furniture that entered everyday space, carrying with it a new logic of living. Modernism's promise of transforming life was often delivered through these smaller, repeatable objects.

To understand this shift, furniture has to be read as a condensed form of architecture rather than decoration. Early twentieth-century designers treated it precisely this way. Le Corbusier described furniture as équipement de l'habitation (equipment of living), placing it within the operational system of the building rather than outside it. Similarly, the Bauhaus approached chairs and tables as industrial prototypes, embedding principles of standardization, efficiency, and mass production into their design. As architectural historian Beatriz Colomina has argued, modern architecture did not circulate only through buildings, but through media and objects that translated its ideas into everyday life. Furniture became architecture in miniature: portable, reproducible, and capable of reorganizing space without reconstructing it.

Home to the local forestry office of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen, the building represents a responsible use of resources and is constructed from a material inextricably linked to the daily work of its users: wood. The architecture reinterprets the traditional two-story residential houses of the area with pitched roofs, reducing their form to the essentials, thus creating a conscious contrast while remaining in dialogue with the existing context.

The site of Osmanthus Yard is a marginal terrace situated between the village and the mountain forest. On the west side, a Feng Shui wall from the late Qing Dynasty remains, adjacent to an ancient well and a century-old Osmanthus tree. Connected to this wall are the remnants of a retaining wall winding along the mountain, forming intermittent fragments of the old village boundary. The terrace lies to the east of this old boundary; two former residences collapsed and were repurposed as temporary chicken coops, with traces of old foundations and ruins still visible. To the north and east lies a dense Lingnan forest, where moss and ferns cling to the crevices of the cliff faces. The terrain rises approximately one meter from west to east, terminating at three tall trees at the eastern end.
