The inaugural edition is organized around the central theme "Shifting the Center: From Fragility to Resilience," reclaiming African architecture's place as a site of spatial intelligence and cultural memory.

This house draws deeply from the site's layered history and natural surrounds to create a home that feels both grounded and elevated within the rich natural landscape.

Growing up in a small village in Lebanon taught me resilience and adaptability. Those qualities have influenced my character and my approach to design and decision-making.

The care and attention to detail that is evident throughout the space, combined with the provenance of the hands that created it, marks Oficina Milanese as distinctly respectful and enduring of the surrounding streets.

Rever & Drage reworks a traditional timber dwelling into a modernized red house dubbed Chr. Tomters Veg, designed for a growing family while retaining the original structure's scale.

The project reconsiders the building as a layered architectural structure shaped by successive transformations, reorganizing these historical strata through a spatial strategy that prioritizes clarity, continuity, and flexibility.

Villa El Fida unfolds as a refined dialogue between architecture, landscape, and light, emphasizing a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces.

Moller emphasizes that architecture should not be confined to regulations and data, as this limits the potential for innovation and creativity within the discipline.

The architecture is organized entirely around those two axes, turning the site's constraints into its greatest asset. Rather than fighting the narrow footprint, the design leans into it - producing a continuous, open living space that flows visually from front to back.

The installation is composed of more than 700 star-shaped modules fabricated from sustainable panels. Each unit is designed to function both as an individual geometric element and as a structural connector within the larger system.

The project represents a careful and deliberate expansion of a modest traditional home into a rich and spatially complex residence for a large and active family.

The project consists of a three-story brick-concrete building facing the street on the south side, an 8-meter-high factory building, and a single story brick-concrete building on the north side.

Klumpen is the work of Himmelsfahrtskommando, a Swedish architectural duo that includes designer Hannah Mazetti. It is one of the more quietly radical design objects I have come across in years.

The first block resembles a bridge between two plateaux, straddling a natural gully that continues to drain runoff from heavy rains.

The bowl-shaped canopy, its underside ground to a flawless mirror finish, acts as what the team describes as an urban periscope. From above ground, the city is reflected downward into the station.

The design for Youth Center Mena stems from an explicit ambition to create a place of encounter, focusing on the needs and wishes of its users from the outset.

Taking up an entire block, 345 Park Avenue is large enough to have its own zip code. The building's site is bordered by Park and Lexington Avenues and 51st and 52nd Streets. Richard Roth Jr. designed the blockbuster building, which was completed in 1969, for one of New York's most prolific real estate dynasties, the Rudins.

To see the 12th series of Home of the Year flutter on to our screens is sort of reassuring. Television has its seasons - or used to - and the return of the RTÉ favourite is a constant in a churning world.

It has an impeccable inner-city skyline. Croydon has the facade of being a bigger city. It's got all these huge offices that looks like residences. And filmmakers get this authentic scenery without the restrictions of space and traffic management found in central London.
