ArchDaily is looking for a Projects Team Lead to guide the curation and strategic development of one of the platform's core content pillars: built projects. This role sits at the intersection of editorial and architectural judgment, data-driven strategy, and team leadership, shaping how architecture is selected, presented, and amplified to a global audience.

Architectural history often advances through iconic gestures or technological breakthroughs, yet some works remain influential precisely because they resist spectacle. Built between 1972 and 1974 in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium, the Van Wassenhove Residence stands as one of those quiet but decisive projects. Conceived as a single, continuous concrete volume set within a wooded landscape, the house challenges conventional ideas of domestic comfort, privacy, and spatial hierarchy. Its presence is direct and uncompromising, yet it avoids monumentality, positioning itself instead as a lived structure shaped by everyday rituals and long-term inhabitation.

A reversible stainless-steel intervention within Yerevan's oldest preserved interior from the 1930s. Lumen Coffee 1936 revives a former bookstore, revealing the "Oriental Art Nouveau" wooden setting and creating a refined dialogue between heritage and contemporary design.

Can local crafts move beyond being exhibited within architecture to instead shape architecture itself so that the building becomes a living craft, setting a visible and replicable model for cultural and economic revival within the rural ecosystem?

In architectural discourse, the notion of the "local" is often associated with regionally rooted building knowledge—materials, structures, and craftsmanship shaped by long-term interaction between human practices and the environment. In contemporary China, however, the idea of local construction is frequently reduced to two recognizable paradigms: rural architecture employing traditional materials and techniques, and hybrid practices that juxtapose local materials with industrial systems. Such interpretations overlook a broader and more pervasive reality.

The site has an area of 35m² with a frontage of 3.6m for a young family located on Tran Cung Street, which was established in 2005. This street is spread over villages ("Làng") Hoang 1, Hoang 2, and Hoang 4 of "Xã Cổ Nhuế", which is now Co Nhue 1 ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi City.

Set on an area of approximately 2,400 m², in a gated community, this residence emerges from a direct relationship with the landscape. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the front of the lot opens up to a preservation area with a spring, allowing the house to be practically surrounded by the existing vegetation.

The Newhouse Replacement Building (Newhouse) redefines the intersection of history and progress on Washington State's historic Capitol Campus, creating a civic workplace where past meets present, state meets citizenry, and place meets policy. Designed by The Miller Hull Partnership as part of the Legislative Campus Modernization (LCM) initiative, the new structure honors the campus's architectural legacy and historic significance while integrating contemporary sustainability, ecological stewardship, and functional efficiency to serve the state for generations.

Lèvanzo is the renovation project of a single-family villa located in Caprarica, in the province of Lecce. Set within the context of a small Salento village, the house was redesigned for a young professional couple with the goal of updating both the functions and the aesthetics of a villa with typically 1970s lines.

Using massive s plates, often several centimeters thick and weighing tons, Richard Serra's sculptures convey an almost improbable sense of lightness. This effect does not result from a reduction of mass, but from how that mass is organized: large curved surfaces tilt, narrow passages compress the body, and seemingly unstable elements create a constant sense of imbalance. Serra transforms weight into a dynamic spatial experience.
