Concept 180 apartments & commercial plinth | Amsterdam   Extraordinary life in a green landscape at any altitude Mountain Valley, or MoVa for short, owes its name to the combination of “Mountains” and “Valleys”. The Mountain takes its shape by allowing the masses to bounce back at every level. This creates an outdoor space per layer that is divided into private, semi-public and public. The Valley is created when two Mountains are turned towards each other. The space between the Mountains forms a closed public indoor area that can be used by the community as an outdoor space. Boom Builds Adaptable to every wish Many functions have been integrated within the MoVa building design to create as much liv... More

This project explores the potential to create an urban oasis with the design of the home’s architecture and interiors. This residence is located in a densely-populated neighborhood and its design incorporates a series of indoor-outdoor spaces, connecting the home to its urban context while serving as a sanctuary for the owner and guests. With the design and construction of this project, modern architecture was achieved and introduced unobtrusively into this established community context. Kerri Fukui We were motivated to demonstrate that value can be found in great design at a small scale. The area’s residential real estate market has been increasingly driven by attributing value to scale, resulting in massive, underutilize... More

The construction site for the project is on the Munich federal highway between the “Salzburg-Mitte” motorway exit and the national border with Germany. This location, historically known as the Lieferinger Spitz, is located at the intersection of the Munich federal highway, the Forellenweg and the Lieferinger Hauptstrasse. In addition, the four-lane road section narrows at this point to a three-lane road to the Salzburg Mitte traffic junction. Julian Höck Julian Höck Accordingly, the location is characterized by a high volume of traffic and daily traffic jams along the main entry axis in and out of the state capital. In order to relieve this situation, the state of Salzburg is planning an expansion and a gap... More

An imaginary city, digital capriccio, created through generative method (Stable Diffusion) - the concept represents a possible scenario for the future city. Arestea Eudeon embodies a profound synthesis of nature and technology, where the architectural fabric embraces the harmony of the natural habitat, where the dwellers enjoy a high quality of life and a low environmental impact. The cityscape thrives within a meticulously planned ecosystem, where lush parklands and canals are harmoniously integrating with urban environment and omnipresent technology, a living system that adapts to the needs and preferences of its residents and visitors. This is the vision of Eudeon, a futuristic ecopolis concept that combines the best of both worlds... More

The delicate redevelopment of the ancient Via Emilia, in the urban stretch of Tavazzano with Villavesco between the Dante and Garibaldi streets, aims to create a real urban space of quality. The small municipality of the lower Lodi area, which has always lacked a square as it is traditionally understood in Italian territory (a place protected and delimited by architectural facades), sees in the redevelopment of its main crossing axis a singular opportunity as much as significant renovation. Tomas Ghisellini Matteo Gilli The project calls into question the dominance of the automobile and hypothesizes a new protagonism of slow mobility: over a third of the driveway is sold to the formation of real pedestrian areas that were previou...

La Grande Motte has long and unfairly embodied the massive concreteization of the coastline and symbolized the clichés of popular tourism. However, the initial ambitions were quite different: the "Florida of tomorrow" represented the new eldorado of millions of vacationers for whom the holidays became a real institution and in a framework designed with 70% of green spaces, giving pride of place to fashion. gentle, to the slow pace of the sun's course.

The site for the parking house stands at the center of what is to become a desirable mixed-use urban neighborhood of culture, work and living. The culture house, the future concert hall, library and other urban improvements, together with Dr. Milady Horákové Park are transforming this part of Ostrava. We ask: how will a 600 car park garage best fit into this urban vision? How can such a structure contribute to the city in a positive way as a place of attraction, allowing in the near and far future other uses aside parking. City parking requirements change much quicker than the lifespan of the physical structure designed for parking. In addition, rapid developments in car technology - introduction of automated vehicles (AV), c... More
