Primeriza House / Stanaćev Granados

November 1, 2025 Valentina Díaz 0

Primeriza House is located on a small clearing of an otherwise heavily sloped terrain with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean to the front and a strong backdrop of almost vertical slope densely populated by cypress trees. Our clients wanted to make the most of outdoor living, and one of their key requirements was to create many opportunities to inhabit the exterior. Another was to create various different environments, nooks and crannies, and moods inside the house. These two, combined with the plot and weather conditions, shaped the volume of the house and its many transitional spaces.

67-Unit Social Housing Building in Illa Glòries / Vivas Arquitectos + Pau Vidal

November 1, 2025 Valentina Díaz 0

The Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes occupies a strategic position in the urban fabric of Barcelona, acting as a convergence point for three of its main arteries: Gran Via, Avinguda Diagonal, and Avinguda Meridiana. Each of these contributes differentiated urban conditions: Gran Via connects to the eastern coastline and promotes mobility that reduces the presence of vehicular traffic; Diagonal structures the Eixample, articulating the connection between the sea and the higher areas of the city; while Meridiana transforms its urban character precisely upon reaching Glòries. This node is also accessed by the historic Ribes road, designed as a civic axis that reinforces pedestrian and cyclist mobility, connecting neighborhoods and facilities in continuity with Clot street.

Building Knowledge, Not Just Structures: Redefining the Architect’s Role in Times of Uncertainty

November 1, 2025 Eduardo Souza 0

Aristotle is credited with the proverb “One swallow does not make a summer.” In nature, the arrival of these migratory birds often announces the change of seasons, a universal symbol of renewal and hope. Yet it is only when many take flight that the true warmth of summer begins. The same can happen in architecture: an isolated project, however exemplary, rarely changes a reality on its own. When, however, a work teaches, inspires, and can be replicated, it becomes the harbinger of something greater.

Entering the space, the visitor is invited into an environment where architecture and self-care converge, cultivating an atmosphere of calmness and renewal.
