The choice of clay bricks is a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the region, connecting the renovated space with the local history and architecture. This choice not only restores the visual identity of the historic center but also provides an environment that inspires creativity and well-being. Manuel Sá The duality of the space, serving as both an art studio and a residence, is enriched by the unique atmosphere created by the clay bricks. This integration between art and living is reinforced by the texture and color of the bricks, which become part of the aesthetic and functional expression of the environment, promoting a sensory and visually enriching experience for the users.

The work on the landscaping of the Opus - is primarily the work on the sculpture of hills that form the yard area. We paid special attention to greening and lighting. The sculpture of the hills in the courtyards is emphasized by the low-lying plants, and the basis of the volume forms large bushes and trees. In the surroundings of the greenery were placed recreation areas with swings, loungers and hammocks, organically inscribed in the hill. The selection of the assortment was based on seasonality. The lighting is integrated into the landscaping and coexists harmoniously with each other and also emphasizes the sculptural shape.

Mount Morgan is a small town located 40km south-west of Rockhampton in Central Queensland. The town has a little-known but rich history of gold and copper mining, and in 2014 the local council started a master-planning process to revitalise the main streetscape. Cameron Murchison Cameron Murchison The existing context became very important in the concept for the new streetscape. Morgan Street contained a 10-metre-wide park down the middle of the main street, flanked by two one-way roads. Shops and small businesses occupied the northern side of the street, and a local primary school the south. The existing park contained an ageing amenities block, some informal landscaping, and a few items of historical significance. These importa... Mais

The project was carefully integrated into the local Vistula natural context and adapted to the very specific nature of the site, which is a floodplain. All of the canopies could be submerged. For this reason, the shape of the canopies was made soft and streamlined, so that when the river is flooded they offer as little resistance as possible to the force of the flowing river. Karol Żurawski Karol Żurawski The canopies were designed using a modern ecological alternative to concrete - Cross-laminated timber. Plates of the canopies extend far beyond the wooden uprights to protect them and the picnic tables and benches beneath them from driving rain. Karol Żurawski Karol Żurawski The construction of the canopies is largely... Mais

The intervention area, close to a S.I.C. area (Site of Community Interest), stands out on the skyline of the Aeolian Islands, at the center of a mythological-landscape context of notable cultural relevance. The particular constraints and landscape conditions, combined with the foresight of a client that we can define as enlightened, have allowed the design experimentation to be expanded in an unusual way to external and internal spaces, in an integral and integrated logic, almost mindful of the late modernist lesson " from the spoon to the city” by Ernesto Nathan Rogers. Caption Caption In the face of a local construction tradition, defined by ancient residences that characterize the surrounding agricultural landscape with... Mais

The former cemetery of Nikaia is a residual space on the border between the city and Mount Aigaleo. We consider this degraded and currently unproductive area to be a byproduct of urban development, which is to say a natural component of an evolving city. Simultaneously, we interpret the space as a significant carrier of memory and an integral element of the city. The different manifestations given to this specific space over the years, up until its current usage, make it a point of reference. With the above points in mind, we recommend creating a park comprising four thematic units, as part of a wider effort to interconnect the landscape infrastructure with new, ecologically evolving platforms for activity development. Therefore the project... Mais

The central concept for the architectural composition came out of the creation of a single-stroke of the pen, a thread that begins from the entrance of the residence, interconnects the internal living spaces, unfurls itself towards the yard, and climaxes vertically in the terrace, uniting the conceptual connection between earth and sky. KAAF Historically, when Theseus, son of Aegeus, the king of Athens, reached Crete to offer himself as tribute to the Minotaur, he met Ariadne, the daughter of king Minos, and won her favour. To save him from certain death, Ariadne resorted to cunning; she gave him a ball of thread (the fabled thread of Ariadne), with the help of which he was able to find his way out of the labyrinth after his victoriou...
