On an ancient wine pool, built of reinforced concrete, a volume of antagonistic material tectonics is added to the existing structure, following the industrial logic of the sector.

Developed for one of the courtyards of the igus factory in Cologne, the Modular Pavilion creates a space for breaks, informal meetings, shared meals, presentations, and temporary events within the industrial campus. Integrated directly into the daily routines of the factory, the structure introduces a quieter and more open environment alongside the existing production buildings.

The cabin on the banks of the Sázava River replaces its predecessor on the same site. After the original cabin burned down, only the stone plinth remained, which the new structure naturally incorporates. It provides protection from flooding and offers a sense of perspective — over the river and perhaps over everyday haste.

"There is no space without event, no architecture without action." When Bernard Tschumi wrote these words, he was articulating a fundamental principle of the architect's practice. Architecture is about behavior. Every stroke of a pen on a floor plan is a proposition about how occupants will move or what actions become possible.

This house was not built in opposition to the terrain – it was shaped by it. Located in the Beskid Mountains, on a demanding plot with a distinct slope, the house quite literally "yaws" – turning toward the southern exposure, embedding itself in the topography and surrounding landscape.

Mexican architecture practice LANZA atelier has unveiled new details for the 2026 Serpentine Pavilion, titled "a serpentine," which will open to the public on 6 June 2026 at Serpentine South. Designed by studio founders Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo, the project reinterprets the historic serpentine or crinkle-crankle wall through a lightweight brick structure integrated into the landscape of Hyde Park. Marking the 25th edition of the annual commission, the pavilion will remain on view through October 2026 and serve as a venue for Serpentine

Located within the grounds of the Zaježová Educational Centre in Pliešovce, this sauna reflects the center's focus on ecology, sustainability, and personal development. These values served as the primary determinants for the architectural proposal, which also addresses the insufficient comfort of the original sauna.

Between 2005 and 2021, French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre developed a long-term project titled Theaters. Recently exhibited at KYOTOGRAPHIE 2026, the work documents a phenomenon that continues to unfold gradually around the world: the decline of infrastructure originally designed for public entertainment in the early twentieth century. Theaters, cinemas, and performance venues that once accompanied the modernization of cities are increasingly being abandoned, repurposed, or "left suspended as hybrid ruins." This proce

Step from the heat of Dubai into the lobby of a glass tower, and the desert seems to disappear. Outside, temperatures climb past 45 degrees Celsius; inside, the air is cold, sealed, and perfectly controlled. For decades, this contrast became the defining image of Gulf modernity. Architecture became less a negotiation with climate, and more a demonstration that climate could be overcome. Towers of reflective glass rose from the desert as symbols of arrival, projecting fi

In an area of 25,000.00m², beneath a large solar energy capture field, lies the Unileão Sports Center. This field is composed of "metal trees" equipped with heliotropic panels that follow the sun's light throughout the day and the year, thereby optimizing their efficiency.
