PROJECTS

The design of the new Travettore Municipal Stadium roof generates a covered space with a few targeted gestures, inserting itself in balance between the context and the playing field

The Wooden Living Unit can be a mini vacation home, a shelter to hide away in, a tree house, or a temporary dwelling for research, tourism, or shelter in emergencies; its small size allows it to be easily transported anywhere 

Architect Alexis Dornier designs a tropical villa in Bali, Indonesia, with modern forms, characterized by a large polygonal wooden element, which acts as a shading and is an element of transition between the interior and exterior

The future is "biobased," and more than 75,000 people were able to see it in The Growing Pavilion during Dutch Design Week 2019

The Hermitage of Silence will rise in Montiglio in the hills of the Asti region. It will be a structure without foundations to allow it to be moved easily, made of structural poplar plywood, a very light material that goes well with the goal of making it flexible

The China Room of Politecnico di Torino, Italy, has recently published three books that study landscape changes caused by urbanization in China, explore processes and hierarchical decisions related to large-scale design, and illustrate the impact of urban creative transformation on contemporary architectural trends

Learning from the local architecture, and from the technique of 'Pedra en sec' declared in 2018 Intangible Cultural Heritage Of Humanity by UNESCO, Casa Fly uses the elements of Majorcan tradition by rethinking them through contemporary architecture and marrying them to simple concepts of energy efficiency based on natural ventilation and the heat storage properties of its massive walls

The Susana chair is the reinterpretation of an urban furniture that is part of the traditional expression of the Yucatan: the "trust chair", composed of two chairs facing each other, designed for couples so that they could look at each other and talk intimately but at a distance

The Kaohsiung National Center for the Arts symbolizes the transformation of the Chinese city of Kaohsiung, once a major international port, into a modern and diverse metropolis with a rich cultural climate.

The Central Office stands on Metalo street in Kirtimai, an urban municipality in Vilnius, Lithuania. Its new appearance celebrates the name of the street to which it belongs and the functionality of the building, which in an almost ascetic manner rejects decoration for its own sake

"If you're going to go through all these problems, then you're going to want to live there," Daniela Holt Voith, founding partner and design director of Voith & Mactavish Architects, tells her client, referring to the renovation. The early 20th-century barn, used until the intervention as a play and guest space, is adjacent to the farmhouse that has been the family's main home for 25 years

The design for the Shenzen Gate called for two towers connected by a plaza in front of the most important railway station in southern China

Analog House winds through the undergrowth, deliberately shaped to preserve existing trees and create a protected inner courtyard. Large transparent windows and skylights open the house to the landscape and daylight, and numerous connections between indoors and out connect residents to their surroundings

An asymmetrical sculptural play of both body and openness, enhanced by minimalist details that provide a powerful luminosity to the space, this is the Black House in Berkel-Enschot clad in burnt wood that gives it a smooth, shiny skin like black silk

Villa Mylae was born from the renovation and recasting of two pre-existing buildings, one in masonry from the late nineteenth century, recklessly remodeled over time, and the other in more recent reinforced concrete, born unauthorized then sanitized, and without any architectural connotation.
