This is a new urban space conceived as a place for exchange. A climate refuge where shade, vegetation, and various modes of being create a new city landscape that opens up to the slope of the nearby Vinalopó River.

An existing villa forms the starting point for the transformation into a care home for people with mental health challenges. Stripped down to its bare structure, the house loses its roof and finishes, revealing the simple logic of parallel walls. This structure becomes the framework for a new plan, where a generous corridor connects a sequence of independent studios.

Before the digital turn, architecture's memory was largely tangible. It lived in the weight of drawings, the patina of models, and the thickness of books. To preserve architecture meant to preserve its traces, the documents, sketches, and photographs through which buildings could be remembered long after their material form had changed or disappeared. The modern architectural archive, as it developed in the 20th century, was both a refuge and a device of legitimacy. Institutions such as the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Casa da Arquitectura, or the Deutsches Architekturmuseum were built upon the conviction that to preserve architecture was to preserve its documents.

The Station of Mons, one of the larger train stations in Belgium, is conceived as a monumental bridge spanning the tracks. The Gallery stands as a connector, uniting the historic heart of the city to the south and the emerging Grand Pres district to the north.

Landforms is conceived as more than a conventional real estate office. It operates as a three-dimensional manifesto for the company's philosophy, where land, structure, and habitation are explored through built form. Housing workspaces, master planning displays, and model homes under one roof, the project translates the scale of territory into an architectural experience.

Located in the dense urban core of Seoul, Hotel Myeongdong Station takes the internal program itself, rather than the external context, as the starting point of its form-making. The spatial density and functional integration of the micro-accommodation units determine the overall configuration and formal principle of the building. This strategy establishes an autonomous architectural language, independent from the site or surrounding conditions.

Located in an urban mixed-use lot, Casa Caetés is situated on a quiet street that balances residential and commercial use. The design was created for a large family with a "tentacular" configuration—a couple and five children—whose expanded connections demand a complex and interconnected spatial structure.

Located in Remoulins, near the Pont du Gard, Voltaire Middle School proposes a contextual and frugal architecture in which environmental, hydraulic, and educational constraints become the driving forces of the project rather than obstacles to overcome.

An off-grid cottage on a forested peninsula combines natural materials with elevated living spaces amid the trees. Located on a secluded peninsula along a pristine, motorboat-free lake in the Ontario wilderness, this off-grid retreat offers a serene escape for an urban couple with a deep love of nature—who spent weekends camping on the land for a year before deciding where and what to build. Their goal: a place deeply connected to nature, elevated among the trees, and designed to accommodate accessible multigenerational living—a welcoming year-round refuge for gathering with family and friends. Designed by Dubbeldam Architecture + Design, the two-level cottage maximizes views of the surrounding water and forest while maintaining a light touch on the environment it inhabits. Situated below a ridge of exposed bedrock, the lower half of the cottage is concealed from view on approach, while its upper floor is accessed via a bridge—an essential feature for a family memb

Far from the perception of the exhibition space as a sterile and untouchable, almost sacred place, the contemporary technology museum has emerged as a performative participant in the systems it seeks to document. The architecture of these institutions has become increasingly fluid and bold, often mirroring the velocity and complexity of the systems it houses. They operate as mediators between the human, the ecological, and the technological realms, transforming from encyclopedic warehouses into active educational engines. By spatializing complex scientific data through immersive rooms, these structures make the technological networks of our world accessible, engaging, and tangible.
