Srila was envisioned as a seamless extension of a deep appreciation for art, tradition, and cultural living. Rooted in nostalgia yet shaped by curiosity, the brief emerged from the clients' emotional connection to traditional homes of Tamil Nadu—spaces remembered for their warmth, breathability, and effortless relationship with light, shade, and everyday rituals. At the same time, they sought to move away from the rigidity of typical concrete houses, aspiring instead for a home that feels softer, calmer, and deeply connected to nature.

During the rising of the Itaya River in May 2025, Espacio Común, in collaboration with residents of Belén in Iquitos, built a floating stage for Muyuna Fest, a film festival that defends the world’s forests by giving voice—through cinema—to Amazonian communities. Located in front of Estrellita de Jesús school, the intervention responded to the amphibious logic of the territory and to local cultural practices, offering a temporary yet powerful infrastructure for public life.

Luther George Park Performance Pavilion is a weathering steel canopy that defines a civic stage within the landscape, framing gathering, movement, and performance as a continuous spatial experience.

Removing almost all the walls and doors from an apartment would be foolish, unacceptable, or simply absurd for most people. It would mean losing the opportunity to close off and cut off from the outside world, at least for a while.

Modernism in architecture was perhaps the first truly global building design philosophy. Established at the beginning of the twentieth century, its early proponents were heavyweights from Europe, such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. In 1923, Le Corbusier published his seminal written work, usually translated into English as Towards a New Architecture. Newness, and a rejection of history, was one of the central tenets of modernism. This manifested itself in the use of new materials such as

The concept behind The Lost Shtetl Jewish Museum is based on the destroyed village of Šeduva and its culture, which vanished overnight in August 1941. 664 Jews from the village were executed in the nearby forests. Along with human lives, Šeduva's long and rich history was also lost. The museum was built to commemorate the lost lives and culture, which represented not only Jewish but also European culture. The museum consists of minimalist, abstract 'houses' with hip roofs. Together, they form a cluster of buildings—a dreamscape of a village, a shtetl.

Located approximately 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, on the island of Andøya in northern Norway, The Whale by Dorte Mandrup is currently under construction along the coastline of Andenes. The small settlement is situated near Bleiksdjupa, a deep-sea canyon that brings marine life close to shore and has contributed to the region's role as a whale-watching destination. Recent construction images show the building emerging from the rocky shoreline, maintaining a low profile that follows the contours of the site. The surrounding context, including the existing lighthouse and residential structures, situates the project within an active coastal environment.

In the windswept coastal landscape of Denmark, where meadow meets dune and pine bends in the coastal breeze, Shoreline Studio rests as a retreat for artistic immersion. Conceived as a space apart from yet connected to the rhythms of a family summerhouse, it balances Danish building tradition with the contemplative sensibility of Japanese architecture. Though restrained in scale, it unfolds with a generous sense of atmosphere, offering a place where light, material, and landscape converge.

On March 12, the Chilean architect of Croatian descent, Smiljan Radić Clarke, was awarded the 2026 Pritzker Architecture Prize. The jury highlighted his "unorthodox approach to design," which "may initially appear unusual, unexpected, even rebellious; yet, far from producing alienation or estrangement, his anti-canonical stance feels fresh and unprecedented. It conveys the unmistakable sensation of encountering something new." This recognition will be celebrated with the annual Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate Lecture and Panel Discussion, to be held in Mexico City at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), at the Faculty of Architec

Even the most distracted passerby is captured by the monumental presence of this structure in Valencia’s established Benimaclet neighborhood. Before it, any attempt at rational apprehension quickly dissolves. Its constructive logic seems to escape comprehension as the space unfolds through tensions and deviations, where nothing is immediately given. Between masses of concrete and the insurgent force of vegetation, an almost chor
