Diving into a dream is taken for granted by us, while it is quite unusual to imagine a dreaming building. Therefore, this hotel does dream – it dreams of a powerful oak tree that once grew here, which is remembered by everyone even after being defeated by lighting. It also dreams of the surrounding wooden villas, whose echoes can be found in the proportions of the buildings. It dreams of Druskininkai resort forests, where pines create performances of light.

Although we tend to think of red when we talk about bricks, there are infinite possibilities of shades, depending on the composition and manufacturing process of the pieces.
Inspired by 21st-century learning principles, the new Aarhus School of Architecture was designed as an incubator for architectural experiments, workshop-based learning, and unplanned synergies between students. The architecture is raw, almost resembling an industrial building, but only at first glance – the refined detailing and strong spatial organization deliberately communicate how a building is constructed; how to refine a design through a few carefully selected materials, and how to allow architecture to step into the background as a flexible framework for activity.
