For a long time, this 1970s building stood in stark contrast to its urban fabric, not only for its height but also for its architectural language; it was perceived as an almost alien presence within the city. Converting the vacant office tower into a residential building offered the opportunity for a retrospective integration, and, in a sense, for urban healing. In this context, adaptive reuse has an impact that extends far beyond the immediate construction task. The conversion not only preserves the embodied energy in the existing structure but also avoids the CO₂ emissions that a new building would have generated. The typology of the high-rise itself represents a forward-looking solution for a dense city with a high proportion of green space. The decision to retain the building's substance and bring it to life with apartments gives it a new face. Its original DNA remains legible, yet its impact has been fundamentally reinterpreted.

Shafts of amber and crimson sweep across the stone floor, shift as a cloud passes over Barcelona, then deepen again. Around you, visitors slow without quite realizing it. Some raise their phones — not to capture the architecture, but to step into the light itself, positioning themselves in a pool of orange or gold as if the colours were something you could wear.

It is afternoon in the summer, and the nave of the Sagrada Família is saturated with warm colors. Shafts of amber and crimson sweep across the stone floor, shift as a cloud passes over Barcelona, then deepen again. Around you, visitors slow without quite realizing it. Some raise their phones — not to capture the architecture, but to step into the light itself, positioning themselves in a pool of orange or gold as if the colours were something you could wear.

They are, without knowing it, doing exactly what Gaudí intended: surrendering, however briefly, to the sensation of being bathed in something larger than themselves.

The hotel building references the Belo Horizonte Library designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1955, adopting its main architectural features.

The unit consisted of two floors without divisions and a disused terrace due to the shape of its structure, a curved concrete slab that did not allow for the use of the upper floor. Access to it was through a hatch door that separated the unit from this exterior terrace.

For decades, the northern approach to the Bridge's cycleway ended in stairs, breaking one of the city's most iconic journeys. This project replaces that stair-only access with a safe, legible and fully accessible ramp, completing a long-missing link in Sydney's cycling network and opening the crossing to riders of all ages and abilities.

Located in downtown Toronto, the building has served multiple lives: first as a textile mill, later as a site of labor activism, and, in the 1990s, as one of the city's earliest large-scale adaptive-reuse projects, helping reintroduce residential life to the urban core. Beneath this industrial narrative lies an older geography: the Carrying Place, an Indigenous trade route used by the Wendat, Seneca, and Mississaugas of the Credit, whose presence continues to inform the land. The client brief called for a highly efficient, storage-rich home that preserved the openness and character of the original loft while supporting contemporary patterns of living.

We see them as the elements that separate interior from exterior, regulate temperature, reduce noise, and protect buildings from external conditions. They give architecture its visual language, but they are also expected to keep the outside world at a distance. In doing so, façades have often been understood as barriers: surfaces that define where human comfort begins and where the environment is meant to remain outside.

When we think of façades, we rarely think of them as habitats. We see them as the elements that separate interior from exterior, regulate temperature, reduce noise, and protect buildings from external conditions. They give architecture its visual language, but they are also expected to keep the outside world at a distance. In doing so, façades have often been understood as barriers: surfaces that define where human comfort begins and where the environment is meant to remain outside.

But the outside of a building is never empty. For centuries, architecture has unintentionally created opportunities for other forms of life. Birds nested beneath roof tiles, insects occupied cracks in masonry walls, and mosses or plants took root along ledges, gutters, and rough stone surfaces. These conditions were rarely designed with other species in mind, but they created small opportunities for life to inhabit them.

As a city rapidly built from reinforced concrete, Shenzhen's spatial experience often exhibits a highly ordered, industrialized character. Oasiz's new store attempts to re-examine the relationship between industrial construction and natural life within this context—not by creating direct contrast or conflict, but by establishing a logic of coexistence within a single spatial system.

There, traditional streetscapes coexist alongside large-scale business hubs. The Center comprises a 180-meter-tall super-high-rise tower. Preserved and revitalized historic buildings are retained and incorporated at the lower level across the site. The project focuses on preserving historical context while integrating modern functions, presenting a model that transcends the dichotomy of "preservation vs. development." Shanghai was once home to dense clusters of traditional communal housing known as 'Lilong', where people used the alleyways between buildings as communal living spaces. This project adopts the concept of a 'three-dimensional Lilong', extending its richness and vibrancy in a vertical fashion. Centered on a three-dimensional circulation route linking the preserved low-rise buildings to the sky gardens and the lower and middle tower section lounges, the design draws the city's bustle to the upper floors. By seamlessly connecting open spaces that encourage diverse user interactions, the proposal presents a new model for urban regeneration: a next-generation landmark that passes the city's memories on to the future.

The orientation of the pavilion is towards the Sev berd, an important nineteenth-century fort, and the events in the history of this place. The pavilion serves as an observation point covered with a mirroring element. This reflection connects the statue of Mother Armenia to another important element, representing in this way the strength, resilience, and protectiveness of the Armenian people. The pavilion could serve as a symbolic reflection of these qualities, emphasizing the idea of a mirrored image of strength and infinite possibilities. The design could incorporate reflective surfaces and a black painted interior to symbolize the connection with the black tuff. The reflection of this element creates a mysterious symbolism capable of regenerating the entrance of this space towards new perspectives. At the same time, the pavilion becomes a dynamic game for the many children who visit this park.

Conceived as a quiet retreat, the pavilion was designed to house and display a collection of stones gathered from the surrounding landscape. Rather than creating a destination apart from its setting, the project sought to deepen the owner's connection to the land itself, transforming a personal collection into an experience of observation, reflection, and gathering.
