Modern housing was one of the places where modernism made its boldest promise: that architecture could reshape not only the city, but the way people lived within it. As Argentine architectural historian Ramón Gutiérrez has argued, popular housing is "the great unresolved subject, one that usually does not appear in histories of architecture." In Latin America, this absence is significant. Across the 20th century, expanding cities turned housing into one of the clearest ways to imagine urban change, and modernism entered not only plans and dra

Context - The El Mayab Sports and Cultural Center emerges as part of the Urban Improvement Program (PMU), promoted by the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development, whose objective has been to intervene in territories with high social vulnerability through specific public infrastructure actions.

The Wood Cabin originates from a fundamental design intention to create a retreat that allows its occupants to experience a close and genuine connection with nature. Rather than positioning architecture as an isolated object, the project is conceived as an integral part of the landscape—one that exists in dialogue with its surrounding context.

Node House sits on a narrow inter-terrace plot, incorporating atypical curves into its structure, revealing sculptural forms throughout an organic interior. The limited footprint is carefully shaped to maximise the living spaces within, yet preserves a sleek, spacious feel with interspersed features to provide variety and interest. Drawing inspiration from traditional shophouses, a courtyard with an air well punctuates deep into the plot, drawing natural light into the living and dining areas. A Ficus longifolia tree sits within the courtyard, a request by the homeowners that offers a tree canopy view from the bedrooms on the upper floors.

Arth Home is a 1,950 sq ft residence in Bengaluru shaped by a simple premise: to build only what is necessary, and to build it well. Designed for two people, the house reflects a deliberate shift away from excess toward a more attentive way of living, where space, light, and material are carefully considered rather than maximized.

Casa Barro was born with the goal of re-signifying traditional construction methods and returning them to their rightful place in our spaces, designs, and ways of living. We aim to return to artisanal processes because we believe that the luxury of the future lies in appreciating the essential, in a more respectful understanding of the creation times, in honoring processes that involve a slower but more meaningful development, in feeling closer to the languages of nature, and in understanding the elements that surround us with greater sensitivity.

Mabelle Park stands as a model for social and cultural innovation in a Toronto neighbourhood of dense vertical housing, home to a highly diverse community of newcomers. Its completion crowns a seven year collaboration between LGA Architectural Partners and the non-profit Mabelle Arts to transform an overlooked half-acre of land owned by Toronto Community Housing, (TCH) the city's largest social housing provider, into a vital public space. Surrounded by seven residential towers, and in an area long without community amenities, the site now anchors warmth, creativity, education, and connection. It is a reflection of its community, filled with joy, care, resilience, and a quiet insistence that everyone deserves beauty and a place to belong.

Casa Capitão is a cultural space located in the Beato neighborhood of Lisbon, focusing on music, gastronomy, art, and critical thinking. The existing building, featuring typical late 19th-century architecture, now stands out thanks to its new exposed concrete crown, transforming the unique program into an architectural statement.

In the decades following independence, some of the most ambitious architectural experiments in the world did not emerge through museums, monuments, or government palaces. They emerged through universities. Across South Asia and Africa, newly formed nations turned campuses into testing grounds for entirely new ways of imagining collective life. These campuses functioned as more than

The Freiham district is not only Munich's newest urban expansion but also currently the largest new development area in Europe. In the long term, around 25,000 people are expected to live here on an area of 350 hectares. Because the land remains in the city's possession, it was able to grant the plots in sections to municipal developers, cooperatives, and building associations under hereditary building rights.
