The Landscape Staircase in the Vall del Paradís is an intervention that recovers a lost section of the Camino de Ignacio de Loyola in Manresa. The project reconnects Pont Vell and Creu del Tort with the Pou de Llum, restoring part of the historic path where Ignatius of Loyola walked in 1522, during his stay in the city when he wrote the Spiritual Exercises. This path was also traditionally used by residents of the Les Escodines neighbourhood, especially women, to reach the Cardener River.

The Innovation Lab is MTA Architects' own satellite office, located in Chennai. The project was built as a working studio and client lounge, and also as a chance to build the way they believe buildings should be built - with local materials, passive environmental strategies, and construction techniques rooted in the region's traditions. The concept behind the project is the Convergence of Culture and Nature. Rather than imposing a design, the building draws from its context - the climate, the site, and the materials available in the region. The site includes a planted garden of native species, a pool, and a generous outdoor area. The building sits snugged in the landscape rather than on top of it.

Today, interdisciplinary learning and exchange are more important than ever in addressing increasingly complex environmental, social, and urban challenges.

This project is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Guanlan Avenue and the planned Xitian Road in Longhua District, Shenzhen. Covering a site area of 24,478.25 square meters and a total construction area of 55,737 square meters. It falls within the urban renewal unit of Tianbei Industrial Zone in Fucheng Street, Longhua District. The project is a nine-year compulsory education school comprising 54 classes—36 primary school classes and 18 middle school classes—with a total capacity of 2,520 students. Located within a high-density urban village undergoing regeneration, the campus forms a key educational facility within the urban renewal context.

"Within limits, the idea of space is not reduced—it is reimagined." Tiny House emerges as a response to constraints, where compact living is shaped through light, ventilation, and spatial clarity. Inspired by tropical design principles and a minimalist approach, the project focuses on creating an environment that feels open and breathable despite its limited footprint. The design is driven by the idea of transforming inward—using courtyards, layered volumes, and filtered openings to establish a strong connection between built form and nature.

In Latin America, the ground is rarely just a surface to build on. It can be a river edge, a steep slope, a humid forest floor, a floodable landscape, or a territory under ecological pressure, and in many cases, it carries a history of communities that already knew how to respond to it, building on stilts, on platforms, over water, long before contemporary architecture asked the same questions.
