Even though young people's leisure time often takes place in a digital parallel universe, this architectural project aims to provide a physical space for them to engage in various activities.

The project expands a corten-clad single-family house with a distinctive folded roof, seeking to create additional living space while preserving the autonomy of the existing building and the harmony of the ensemble. Rather than competing with the original structure, the extension acts as a careful continuation — a reinterpretation rather than an addition.

Modernism is often encountered through built form, photographed facades, canonical plans, concrete manifestos. For most people, its first encounter was far more immediate. It was a chair in an office, a shelf in a living room, a compact unit that reorganized how one sat, stored, or slept. Long before modern architecture could be widely commissioned, it was furniture that entered everyday space, carrying with it a new logic of living. Modernism's promise of transforming life was often delivered through these smaller, repeatable objects.

Wood as a way of being: The forestry station in the centre of Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen is a highly functional administrative building designed to combine purpose and surroundings. Home to the local forestry office of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen, the building represents a responsible use of resources and is constructed from a material inextricably linked to the daily work of its users: wood. The architecture reinterprets the traditional two-story residential houses of the area with pitched roofs, reducing their form to the essentials, thus creating a conscious contrast while remaining in dialogue with the existing context.

The project is located in Zhongxin Village, Longmen County, Huizhou, as one of the art projects for the "Nankunshan-Luofushan Rim Pioneer Zone (Huizhou) Architectural Art Project" organized by Fengyuzhu. The site of Osmanthus Yard is a marginal terrace situated between the village and the mountain forest. On the west side, a Feng Shui wall from the late Qing Dynasty remains, adjacent to an ancient well and a century-old Osmanthus tree. Connected to this wall are the remnants of a retaining wall winding along the mountain, forming intermittent fragments of the old village boundary. The terrace lies to the east of this old boundary; two former residences collapsed and were repurposed as temporary chicken coops, with traces of old foundations and ruins still visible. To the north and east lies a dense Lingnan forest, where moss and ferns cling to the crevices of the cliff faces. The terrain rises approximately one meter from west to e

The lot is located on a corner within a gated community, in a neighborhood predominantly occupied by residences that make use of nearly all of their land, with limited gardens and green spaces that are of poor quality and poorly integrated into the urban environment, and are often enclosed off the street.

An architectural project often builds upon the relationship between those who will inhabit it and what already existed before. On this land, located in Santo Antônio de Lisboa, Florianópolis, this bond presents itself in a particularly profound way, as a living memory that has been cultivated over time, where the local flora, planted by the mother of one of the residents, remains as an emotional and structural presence. Among these species, the juçara palm stands out, the Pinã, which names the house and encapsulates this relationship.

The Chapel of St. Ignatius and Gayle and Tom Benson Jesuit Center, located on Loyola University New Orleans' historic quad, provides a place for spiritual contemplation and an inspiring space for campus gathering. The building's simple cylindrical form, composed of textured, hand-made brick, harmonizes with the surrounding Tudor-Gothic buildings on campus while maintaining its own distinctive contemporary character.  The chapel's solid exterior evokes permanence and stability that reflects the surrounding campus.  

Rind village is located in the Vayots Dzor region, one of the wine-making centers of Armenia. The village is situated on a high plateau with views of the surrounding mountains. At the edge of the village are the vineyards and the Zorah Winery, which define the character of the landscape.

High-rise architecture continues to serve as a primary tool for accommodating density in rapidly evolving urban environments. Traditionally defined by efficiency and repetition, the tower is increasingly being reexamined as a more complex spatial and organizational system. Across different geographies, architects are testing how vertical structures can move beyond singular functions to incorporate layered programs, environmental strategies, and new forms of occupation.
