Architecture: Research Guide

The Ascendente House was conceived from a reading of the voids between existing trees, adopting an approach of careful insertion and preservation. Its massing is organized in levels that follow the site, establishing a clear hierarchy between social, private, and service areas, while keeping the house continuously connected to the garden and vegetation.

The construction site is part of the Klafar area in the northwest of the city. The urban layout of the apartment buildings is based on the principle of a traditional city block, which defines a hierarchy and character of spaces—from public street areas, through semi-private courtyards, to private front gardens. The proposed block forms the corner of Sázavská and K Milířům streets. The spatial arrangement of the buildings creates a semi-public courtyard oriented to the south, while leisure areas with vegetation are located in the western part of the site.

Mrs. F. owned a large house in the village of Panoší Újezd. It had become too big for her, so she decided to keep only the old pigsty and a small patch of garden from the entire property, which she wanted to convert into a summer home. The building was in a disastrous state.

Wood is among architecture's oldest and most familiar materials, yet its contemporary use raises complex questions about environmental impact, resource availability, material provenance, and circularity in relation to local economies. At the same time, advances in computational design, CNC machining, and robotic fabrication are also reshaping how timber is designed and assembled, opening new possibilities for structural innovation and formal expression while redefining the balance between automation, labor, and efficiency.

Following the completion of the new Swiss Embassy in Ivory Coast in 2016, LOCALARCHITECTURE continues its work in Abidjan with the Swiss Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Residence. The project responds to a dual role as it is conceived both as a family house and a reception area to serve the diplomatic objectives of the Swiss delegation.

Architecture project information does not live only in CAD or BIM software. Design briefs, drawing PDFs, contracts, quotations, site reports, approval files, and project specifications are often the documents that teams open, revise, send, and confirm every day.

Every year on July 11, World Population Day draws attention to the demographic trends reshaping societies around the globe. In 2026, the United Nations marks the occasion under the theme, "Realizing the Hopes and Aspirations of Young People – Today and for the Future," highlighting how young people's decisions about education, employment, housing, relationships, and family life are increasingly influenced by the cities they inhabit. Drawing on Lives, Choices and Futures, a global survey of more than 108,000 young adults across 73 countries, this year's campaign underscores the close relationship between demographic change and the social, economic, and spatial conditions of cities.

Design Hotels spent thirty years at one address before moving into the top floor of AXIS, a newly built volume rising from a former industrial site near Berlin's Ostkreuz. The site looks two ways at once, toward the water of the Rummelsburger Bucht and into the density of the city. Five meter ceilings and glazing on every side turn the floor into something closer to a loft than an office, a volume defined less by walls than by light.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York inaugurated the exhibition Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa on July 5, 2026, on view through January 2, 2027. The exhibition examines African modern architecture from the late 1950s through the early 1980s in the context of political independence in the region. Works span seven countries: Benin, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Togo. The display is organised around anchor projects selected as "entry points" into categories such as cityscapes, education, and housing. It is curated by Martino Stierli, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, and Ikem Stanley Okoye, guest curator and associate pr..

The concept of the museum has historically prompted reflections on identity, representation, and institutional frameworks. At present, museums are conceived as increasingly complex spaces, combining exhibition areas with other cultural and educational functions, prompting civic engagement, artistic experimentation, and archival responsibility. Throughout this year, numerous museum projects have been announced and advanced across multiple regions, with completion timelines largely extending from 2026 to 2030. Added to this variety is the wide range of concepts developed within the realm of ideas, proposals, and speculations. It is within this realm that this selection of projects submitted by..

The Art House in New Delhi is conceived as a response to a rare brief that called for complete originality. The client, a prominent entrepreneur with a strong inclination toward individuality, sought a home that would not resemble anything he had encountered before: "I want something that no one has ever seen before." This became the starting point for a design approach that rejects familiar typologies and instead builds a highly curated living environment, with art pieces, sculptures, architecture, furniture, furnishings, and lighting all developed exclusively for this space.

It begins with a quiet misdirection. From the outside, this Brunswick home reads as a dark, composed silhouette, black timber cladding and crisp geometry holding their ground against the suburb's easy grit and creative pulse. But step through the front door and the house shifts register entirely: a warm timber "box" gathers you in, the air softens, and a long, gentle reveal begins, light, water, greenery, then brick, timber and stone unfolding like a sequence of rooms in a Kyoto ryokan. "The idea was always to create a Japanese-inspired jewel," says Patricia Davila, lead interior designer at The Stylesmiths. "Not in a literal way, no clichés, but in the sense of calm, proportion and materia..

Some of the world's most innovative regional architecture never makes the headlines simply because no one is telling its story. For the sixth episode of the Room For Dreams podcast, recorded live at Milan Design Week 2026 in cooperation with INDX|GLOBAL, host Claire Brodka of designboom dissects this exact bottleneck with architects Niroop Reddy, Sujit Nair, and Aman Aggarwal, tracing how a historic lack of architectural storytelling has obscured a massive design revolution taking place across the Indian subcontinent.

House Awasi is located on the picturesque island of Lombok, Indonesia, where the island's rich cultural heritage adds depth to its natural beauty. As the home of the Sasak people, Lombok showcases a unique blend of traditions, customs, and arts. From intricate weaving and woodcarving to traditional dances and music, the island's cultural tapestry is as vibrant as its breathtaking landscapes.

Curated by Martino Stierli and Ikem Stanley Okoye, the new show is the final installment in a triptych of MoMA architecture exhibitions centered on political emancipation.

The housing crisis in the U.S. will not be solved by piecemeal infill but by a holistic reappraisal of our collective urban form, writes Emmett Zeifman.

The 206-unit rental complex is the latest example of the Canadian practice 5468796 Architecture’s creative approach to multifamily residential projects.
