Project • By BAKPAK architects | unfolded architecture • Hospitals
Viljandi Hospital
The city of Viljandi is characterized by the restrained scale of its historic center, where architecture reflects the historical evolution of Estonia. The new hospital is located at a strategic point, at the intersection of the city’s two main arteries, ensuring both accessibility and visibility while also requiring a sensitive approach, as it stands at the edge of the protected heritage area.

The central idea of the project lies in adapting the scale of the building. Rather than conceiving a monolithic volume, the program is fragmented into smaller bodies. This strategy establishes continuity with the surrounding urban fabric, avoiding the perception of a large hospital complex and creating a more human-scale... More
Project • By Estúdio Leonardo Zanatta • Pavilions
Tess Pavilion
Designed by the São Paulo-based practice Estúdio Leonardo Zanatta, the Tess Pavilion is located in São Paulo's residential Brooklin neighborhood and serves as both a commercial space and a venue for cultural exhibitions. Its architecture, inspired by the form of a harp and the geometric principles of Russian Suprematism, is an exercise in structural economy. Beyond its outlook, the pavilion is a case study in integrated sustainability, where design, material selection, and construction processes were intrinsically linked to a low-carbon philosophy.

Project • By Reservoir A - Architecture + Urbanism • Universities
UMONS Ecotechnologies
Our project, situated between a dynamic urban context and a green campus, uses its unique triangular form to establish a dialogue with its environment. Each side of the triangle maintains a specific relationship with either the urban fabric or the campus, reflecting a deep understanding of the site.
The building’s design offers a smooth transition between the city and the campus. The northwest façade, limited to two levels, respects the scale of the neighboring houses, ensuring harmonious integration into the urban landscape. The triangular base intelligently adapts to the site's constraints and opportunities, offering both flexibility and openness to the outside.
