Home for the homeless

THE CONTEXT Our history with the homeless in the care of Sister Małgorzata Chmielewska and her Foundation Chleb Życia has began in 2018. Then, for the first time, we visited shelters for the homeless and sick in Warsaw and shelter for homeless and disabled in Jankowice. One year later, in 2019 the new house for homeless in Jankowice has been opened and two years later a tiny one in Niegorzyce. In 2021 the Foundation received a plot of land in Warsaw from the city government to build a modern shelter. The new building was supposed to replace two shelters for men and women which were in very bad condition and were planned to be closed at the beginning of 2023. Piotr Krajewski The aim was to create a shelter for temporary stay for homel... Más

CL40

This house was designed as a single-family home into a private-residential area in the suburbs of Merida, the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatan. In order to achieve efficiency in cost-energy consumption, the layout arrangement of the spaces assures cross ventilation, optimal day-light as well as direct sun protection due a carefully sized openings in congruency with simple-detached volumes and façade-language. Materials and finished were selected in order to optimize also the need of intense care/maintenance of the construction due the strong climate conditions of severe heat and high humidity during most of the year.

Bionic-Constructivist Architectural Symbiosis 2

   The Lviv Hotel is a characteristic representative of Soviet constructivism in architecture and at the same time a bright phenomenon among other buildings of this era, despite the fact that at the time of its construction the main task of local architects was to adapt the standard project to the existing situation, and the creation of exclusive architectural elements, to put it mildly, was not welcomed (especially if they had a purely aesthetic function). The architects of the project Konsulov Anatoly Dmitrievich and Nivina Ludmila Denisovna nevertheless managed to circumvent these rigid restrictions within the limits of the possible. Konsulov, "responsible" for the aesthetics of the building, created a partly romantic, partly p... Más

Rahul Shah Rahul Shah The client spent their early days in the old city of Pune. The process started with taking references from the core city, the site being located nearby. Two distinct  fabrics seen  on either side of the Mutha river : the old, dense fabric and the new, scattered development.

Se trata de un proyecto de una casa para una familia joven con dos hijos que decide trasladarse desde la ciudad al Parque Natural del Montseny buscando tranquilidad y contacto con el entorno natural.
