Designed to Repeat, Forced to Adapt: The Parallel Architecture of Socialist Housing

6 June 2026 @ 7:30 am

A housing block in New Belgrade appears orderly from a distance. Concrete slabs repeat with disciplined consistency, windows align into measured grids, and balconies stack with the confidence of a system certain of itself. However, proximity changes the reading. One balcony is enclosed in aluminum glazing, another softened with improvised shading. Insulation thickens part of a façade while laundry frames another edge like an accidental elevation study. The district still reads as planned, though occupation has made its order less uniform. Within that order,

“Gauguin, l’Atelier du Pouldu” Interpretation Centre / Modal Architecture + Quartz Architecture

6 June 2026 @ 6:00 am

The project is inspired by the artistic legacy of Paul Gauguin and the painters who stayed in Le Pouldu at the end of the 19th century. The architecture seeks to preserve the spirit and perception of the former Buvette de la Plage, where Gauguin and his companions lived and worked, while creating a contemporary cultural facility that can welcome a wider audience.

Modum Atelier Nanjing Office / Modum Atelier

6 June 2026 @ 2:00 am

The new office of Modum Atelir is located in the middle part of the rows of bungalows in National Leading Talents Pioneer Park, which used to be the General Bureau of Silver Dollar Minting in Jiangnan during the late Qing Dynasty. It is separated by a stone tunnel and adjacent to the Ming City Wall site. The original floor height of the interior was five meters, and the floor plan was evenly divided into two parts by a structural wall. The height of the floor and the insulation of the wall result in a passive energy-saving disadvantage of the house, and the structural wall in the center also brings difficulties in spatial integration. The townhouse where the studio is located is in a low-lying part of the park. In the summer, when rainfall is abundant, rainwater may back up into the house.

Herradura Cabin / ALMA de Arquitectos

5 June 2026 @ 3:00 pm

The design of the Herradura Cabin in the Primavera Forest arises from a fundamental premise: architecture must adapt to the environment and not the other way around. The horseshoe shape results from respecting the location of existing trees, allowing the construction to sit in the free spaces of the land without altering the original vegetation.

House Transformation in Harmonia / Atelier 008

The house in Harmónia represents a rigorous spatial purification that transforms a fragmented 1960s structure into a meditative retreat by uncovering its load-bearing essence.

Brasília and Chandigarh: Two Modernist Utopias an Ocean Apart

5 June 2026 @ 7:30 am

Between the 1950s and 1960s, two cities were built that would leave a lasting mark on the history of architecture and urbanism. Born from a shared vision yet separated by more than 14,000 kilometers, Brasília in Brazil and Chandigarh in India were both planned and constructed from scratch, deeply shaped by

La Vallée Verte / MVRDV

5 June 2026 @ 7:00 am

MVRDV has completed construction of La Vallée Verte, a residential project within the Bastide Niel district of Bordeaux. Situated between the shaded streets and former railway tracks of MVRDV's own Bastide Niel masterplan, the project combines the angled forms of the masterplan's "suncuts" with a verdant "crater": a circular internal courtyard with an intense abundance of plants adorning generous terraces. Providing 70 new homes of varying sizes to attract residents in all stages of life, the project's sleek white exterior blends in as part of this brand new, innovative urban district, while the inner courtyard offers a distinctive and secluded park-like space in which residents and visitors can relax.
