Climate risk is a shared global condition, marked by intensifying heat, water scarcity, flooding, and ecological loss that no border can contain. In 2025, these pressures sharpened a collective awareness that government pledges and international agreements are not keeping pace with lived realities. Across geopolitical contexts, the tension is immediate and structural, revealing gaps between policy ambition and material change. This moment has exposed a growing reliance on disciplines outside formal structures to respond quickly, intelligently, an

TEL AVIV UNIVERSITYThe largest university in Israel is located north of Tel Aviv at "Spring Hill", within the Ramat Aviv neighborhood. Founded 1953, Tel Aviv University (TAU) accommodates more than 30,000 students on its unique campus.

The orthogonal timber frame has long been the primary structural prototype for nearly all functional building types in the East—from halls and temples to dwellings. Shanxi, as one of the most important regions for the preservation of ancient Chinese timber architecture, retains many precious examples such as Nanchan Temple and Foguang Temple. These surviving entities embody the deep cultural lineage of traditional Eastern architecture. DANNONG, a clothing brand grounded in an inner Eastern sensibility, already operates many stores. Yet in the capital of Shanxi, how should garments be presented in space? How should the store grow in resonance with the region's architectural heritage? These questions became the starting point of the design.

Press reimagines a long-standing local coffee spot in Fujairah, blending nostalgia with contemporary warmth. The project creates a space where visitors can immerse themselves in a layered, human-centric environment that feels both familiar and refreshed.

Designing Fonte das Perdizes house was quite a different challenge, as the program demanded a contemporary modern shaped house, fully integrated into Alentejo’s rough natural landscape.

In a narrow townhouse with daylight limited to the front and rear, light becomes the primary element shaping the interior experience. Located in a dense urban setting, the long and narrow townhouse is constrained by party walls on both sides, allowing natural light to enter only from the front and rear façades. This condition often results in dark and compressed interior spaces, particularly toward the center of the plan. The client sought a home that felt calm, personal, and grounded—a place where daily life could naturally settle after stepping inside.

Light and architecture in this house engage in a daily dialogue. A place where noble materials and generous spatial arrangements play tribute to the beauty of simplicity. 

22 Tappan Street is the most expansive component of the Brookline High School Expansion and Renovation project. This new five-story academic building serves 700 students with general use classrooms, physics labs, special education suites, collaboration spaces, a library, cafeteria, a 125-seat white box theatre, and administrative and support spaces.

Set within a 504 m² plot in a dense residential fabric, Villa H explores the balance between compactness and openness — an exercise in clarity, light, and restraint. The project stems from a challenge: accommodating a generous domestic program while preserving a sense of space and calm. The villa unfolds across three levels: a generous basement hosting the technical and leisure areas along with the parking, a compact ground floor freeing a wide garden with a pool, and an upper level comprising four sunlit suites.

For several years now, the countryside has ceased to function merely as a picturesque counterpoint to the city and has instead become an active laboratory for new relationships between territory, landscape, and people. Here, environmental urgency meets collective memory; ancestral techniques converse with architectural experimentation; and local communities act as curators of their own territory.
