• Coco House / CVA Arquitectos

  04-11-2026 16:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Living immersed in nature. House and nature are conceived as an indissoluble entity. Designed as a weekend refuge for the architect herself and her dog "Coco," the project synthesizes her personal quest to live immersed in nature. This search began with the idea of carefully integrating the volume with the existing vegetation and connecting it precisely to the natural terrain. In this way, the house harmoniously adapts to the steep slope, merging with it and becoming an integral part of the land

• Human-Centered Design: How does design shape the way we live, feel, and connect?

  04-11-2026 10:15 via ArchDaily Global
  
  To say that we design "for people" seems like a fundamental premise of architecture. However, this statement presents a problem: people are not a homogeneous category.
  Human-Centered Design invites us to question whom we observe, listen to, and represent when making design decisions. Through an interdisciplinary conversation, we will explore how physical, sensory, and social needs influence architecture and interior design, and how these shape our way of living, feeling, and connecting.

• The Invisible Brief: How Laboratory Needs Shape Research Buildings

  04-11-2026 08:30 via ArchDaily Global
  
  A floor that feels solid may still be moving. Vibrations travel through the ground and across buildings, often at levels too small for people to notice. Most have little effect on everyday activities, but in some research laboratories, instruments measuring matter at the nanoscale can register movements this small, and even traffic several miles away can interfere with an experiment.

Rather than replacing the original structure, the project adopts a strategy of selective demolition, retention, and expansion, allowing the building to evolve while

  A public space for gathering and meeting. Through repetition and pattern, this project proposes an architecture that eschews gratuitous gestures, one in which the focus is on the citizen and the ways in which they use the space.

• The Work of Keeping a Public Building Public: The Drill Hall in Johannesburg

  04-11-2026 05:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  What happens to a building after the architecture is finished? For buildings intended to serve the public, their continued life depends on more than the physical conditions of their construction. It involves the activities that take place within them, the relationships they allow to develop, the people who occupy and shape them, and the institutional structures responsible for their upkeep. Yet these conditions are not always secured through the act of building itself. They are continually negot

  The Vineyard ?HOUSE? On September 10, 2022, at 12:29 p.m., I broke ground with the first of thousands of shovels I would dig to build my house. But the story began in my second year of architecture school, when I lost my parents. That was when I started working and saving, just in case something happened to me. Then, a dream emerged: to live on a vineyard. I decided that if I didn't need to use those savings upon graduating, I would use them to build my house. When I graduated, my savings were e
