    Estúdio Semibreve / Estúdio Clara Nahas
    No Estúdio Semibreve, a materialização da narrativa exigiu um exercício rigoroso de zoneamento e uma subversão proposital da lógica habitacional. Em uma área de 55 metros quadrados, o Estúdio Clara Nahas estabelece uma planta de fluxo invertido, onde a hierarquia convencional entre o público e o privado é reordenada para priorizar o recolhimento. Diferente da recepção imediata por áreas sociais, a entrada acontece pela zona íntima. O visitante da mostra é convidado a percorrer o d

    Lele Hotel / The Lab Evn
    Located in Vayots Dzor, Lele Hotel is conceived as a direct response to the character and topography of its mountainous surroundings.

  • Scaffolding as Interior Architecture: The Longevity of Temporary Structures

    Scaffolding as Interior Architecture: The Longevity of Temporary Structures
    Scaffolding is perhaps one of architecture's most familiar temporary structures. It accompanies buildings through construction, maintenance, and renovation, only to disappear once its work is complete. Yet its apparent impermanence conceals a different kind of longevity. Scaffolding systems are designed to be assembled, dismantled, transported, and reused, with standardized components robust enough to withstand repeated handling and changing site conditions. Their temporary character lies less i

    Two Projects in Paris Win the European Collective Housing Award
    As cities struggle to provide adequate and affordable housing, examining built examples of collective housing can help inform decisions about what to build and how. These projects offer opportunities to assess solutions, understand their limitations, and consider what might be applied elsewhere. In Paris, two recent examples combine apartments of different sizes with access to gardens, courtyards, and other outdoor spaces, working with structures already in place.

    Pavilions as Stances: 6 Unbuilt Proposals from the ArchDaily Community
    In architecture, the word "pavilion" can describe an endless variety of structures. It might be defined as a principle and a typology, a freestanding structure, a temporary intervention, a gathering place in the city, or a space for experimentation. This last quality is what unites the six unbuilt projects featured here, all designed and submitted by ArchDaily readers. Here, the definition lies in their sculptural qualities and formal exploration, while their permanence and location vary accordi

    Ibiza House / Studio Metamorphosis
    There are places remembered for the way they are inhabited. Ibiza represents a way of living where time revolves around shade, landscape, and shared spaces. This was the starting point for Studio Metamorphosis when designing this vacation home in Albacete: to reinterpret the essence of traditional Ibizan (payesa) architecture without literally reproducing it, adapting it to a new context through a contemporary lens.

    Blu is a pizzeria chain where every restaurant takes its character from the city it opens in.

The restaurant occupies a corner unit of 335 square meters with a curved glazed facade. A terrace runs along the glass, and behind it the plan opens into one large hall, with the kitchen, storage, staff rooms and restrooms gathered in a compact service block at the rear.

    A house that rotates to capture the view, shields itself from the wind, and adapts to the slope. Located in Mirador Punta Pite, Papudo, Chile, the house sits at elevation 240 on a steep hillside, in a privileged position facing the ocean, offering panoramic views of the landscape. Maximizing and enhancing this condition was one of the main objectives of the project.

    Dam House / 24 7 Arquitetura
    Set on an approximately 24.000 m² site with an elevation difference of over 60 meters descending toward the reservoir, the residence emerges from a desire to establish continuity between architecture, topography and landscape. Organized across three stepped terraces, the house follows the natural contours of the land, breaking into volumes that adapt to the slope, minimize earthworks and preserve the relationship with the surrounding environment.

The site combines elevated topography, open views toward the Valle del Cauca and the Central Mountain Range, and an L-shaped lake that partially surrounds the house.

    Situated in a rural Boulder neighborhood, Parkside Villa is a comprehensive transformation of an existing 9,100-square-foot residence, reimagined for the evolving lifestyle of an active family.
