• Argyle House: The Story Behind Edinburgh’s Brutalist Landmark

  13-11-2026 08:30 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Rising from the rocks that form the base of Castle Rock in Edinburgh, Argyle House stands in stark contrast to the city's most iconic landmark. Built in the late 1960s, this angular, grey building is a quintessential example of post-war Brutalist architecture. A geometric concrete structure stripped of ornamentation that has recently become an unlikely star on screen, serving as the backdrop for the series Dept. Q, based on novels by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen. Yet the 11-story complex, whi

  Overlooking the coniferous forests of Mount Lebanon, Capsule Retreat is a modern home that beds into an ancient landscape of sandstone outcrops and alpine villages. Paying close attention to the flesh of the site, the design process sets aside aesthetic sensitivities in favor of a more physiological reading, one that acknowledges the stratification embedded in its materiality, where incompleteness and low-tech building technologies found in rural settings were the starting point to weave in desi

• What Architecture Brings Together: Encounters at Open House Valencia 2026

• Casa Tranquilo / DADO

  13-11-2026 04:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Casa Tranquilo is a 10,000 sq. ft. villa in Verla Canca, North Goa, set within dense forest. Our inspiration was not a building or a style but a philosophy of slow living: a home where the day is marked by birdsong and the changing light through the trees. We let the existing forest guide the design, so that every tree that could be saved was woven into the plan and the house feels like it grew from the forest floor rather than being built on top of it.

In the Peruvian low jungle, river transport is the main connection between riverside populations, but long travel times and high costs make accessing basic services difficult. Furthermore, the small size of many communities limits the state's capacity to provide permanent infrastructure for healthcare, education, identity registration, and other essential services. Consequently, the
