A tiered gathering place that draws students from the campus center – Steeped in history and tradition, Hannan University is a private liberal arts university celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025, located in a lush green area along the Yamato River, to the south of central Osaka. Ahead of this milestone year, alongside a faculty reorganization, the university has advanced plans to integrate the previously separate south campus into the main campus grounds.

Located on top of a mountain in São Francisco Xavier, the Chalé da Mata is the first unit of a carefully developed master plan for the land.

With an enrollment of 1,300 students from the first through ninth grade, the "Angela Merkel" School ranks as one of the largest educational institutions in the country and is among the very few, if not the first, educational buildings in Albania to be fully self-sufficient in energy. Positioned along a primary axis of the city's urban circulation system, it sits at the heart of a dense educational hub, flanked by a kindergarten and another school.

On the ruins of Mas Geli, an old farmhouse, of which only two facades with buttresses and a couple of spaces with stone vaults were preserved, this new house rises, which reinterprets values of vernacular architecture without renouncing the contemporaneity of the proposal. The project aims to be coherent with the context, looking for the integration of the new farmhouse in the exceptional landscape of Baix Empordà, a continuum of agricultural spaces with the distant (but constant) presence of ancestral farmhouses perfectly situated in the landscape.

Unlike most popular sports, the origin of basketball has a precise year and creator: it was invented in 1891 in the United States by Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as an indoor sport for athletes at Springfield College during the winter, after the end of the football season. The sport quickly expanded beyond U.S. borders, being included in the Olympic Games in 1936 and achieving international popularity after the Second World War. As basketball became more widespread, it also left the controlled environment of gymnasiums and began occupying a wide range of locations: playgrounds, public plazas, school courtyards, driveways, and backyard patios became informal courts for play and community life, reinforcing

This building is the new construction for our architectural office and woodworking shop. Why did we, an architectural firm, start a woodworking shop? In Okinawa, it has become common for many buildings to use reinforced concrete (RC) frames with aluminum sashes for commercial buildings. However, for many of our buildings, we have designed and installed wooden sashes for openings—elements people directly touch in daily life and which greatly affect the quality of the space—rather than bland aluminum sashes.

Education has long been understood as a cornerstone of social development, shaping not only individual futures but also the collective capacity of societies to respond to change. Observed annually on 24 January, the International Day of Education invites reflection on the role education plays in addressing global challenges and sustaining social progress. As the world confronts overlapping challenges, from technological transformation to deepening inequalities, the question of how education is imagined, governed, and experienced has become increasingly urgent.

Degrees is a geometric and optical device, doubling the 360-degree track of normal vision. The design originates from a central patio and from the ways in which the inner and outer worlds might interact with one another. Conceived as a solar clock that registers the passing of time, this off-the-grid house is many houses in one: during the day it frames a mountain and a volcano, opening up toward the varied views along the external perimeter of the circle; at night, it turns inward around a circular courtyard.
