ZAV Architects, the Center for Handy Skills, Hormuz Island, Iran, 2021.  ZAV Architects 
Lead Architects:Mohamadreza Ghodousi, Fateme Rezaei Fakhr, Golnaz Bahrami, Hanieh Alizadeh.

Design Team: Sheila Ehsaei, Soroush Majidi, Payman Barkhordari, Azin Ravaei.

CHS is a two-story adaptable platform for educational initiatives aiming at hands-on learning of new practical skills, with a building spatially adaptable to future alterations and to the harsh climate.

The Gulf is associated with petroleum and conflicts surrounding it, and residents of Hormuz are sitting on mines of “black gold” aka oil, but are economically deprived. With the new wave of tourism, they are hopeful about opportunities for their community, however, they feel the need for a new kind of know-how to orient themselves.

This small project follows a bold global vision of sustainability. This center focuses on the empowerment of the Hormuz community for sustainable tourism. This is where education, planned in consonance with the city, takes place and educators are accommodated. I

t is a small vertical neighborhood of educational and accommodation spaces linked with paths and open spaces that empower Hormuzis. To be fully handy, the dimensions, positions, and relations of open and closed spaces can be modified to match unpredicted needs.   Text source: ZAV Architects  Photos ©Soroush Majidi, Payman Barkhordari.  ©2026 ZAV Architects.

Sarquella Torres, Llar Lluèrnia. Festival del foc i de la llum, Olot, Girona, España, 2024.  SARQUELLA TORRES  Client: Lluèrnia. Festival del foc i de la llum Festival Lluèrnia
 Collaborators: .srico @l.villamil98  Llar is a microclimate in the cold nights of Olot.
Llar is a Miesian pillar that rises 15 meters and is stabilized by tension with large basalt rocks. The tensioned cables simultaneously support the insulating and reflective canopy to preserve the heat.

Llar is primitive architecture that preserves fire as the first huts did. It is both structure and envelope.
Llar is a “escó”: a space within a space, preserving thermal qualities and intimacy.

Llar is a phenomenological environment of heat, light, shadow, and crackling.
Llar is a chimney — cheminée – chemin de fumée — that unfolds, exposing its interior, where soot appears as a witness to the rising smoke.

Llar is a thermodynamic combustion process that heats by refraction and expels smoke by convection.
Llar marks the Plaça Major with a cross, a central meeting point where the boundaries between the domestic and urban worlds dissolve.  Text source: Sarquella Torres  Photos ©Joan Guillamat Joan Guillamat

Kéré Architecture, Gando Primary School Library, Gando, Burkina Faso, 2010 -.  Kéré Architecture  Collaborators: Hevert-Arzneimittel GmbH & Co. KG, Community of Gando  The Gando Primary School Library is conceived as a space in which to complement the standardised school curriculum with traditional teachings between elders and children. Its geometry is formally distinct from the buildings on either side, its soft elliptical shape setting it apart in character from the orthogonal classrooms.   In addition to providing an educational infrastructure for children, the library is also intended as a resource centre for the village as a whole. The building forms a physical connection between the Gando Primary School and itsextension, sheltering the school yard from dusty eastern winds.   The building’s ceiling is made using locally crafted earthenware pots sawn in half, against which the concrete slab is cast. These circular openings allow natural light to filter down, creating a dynamic pattern on the ground. An overhanging corrugated metal roof sits above this ceiling, protecting it from sun and rain, with polycarbonate sheets positioned above the openings.   Text source: Kéré Architecture  Photos ©Kéré Architecture  ©2026 Kéré Architecture.

IARA Architecture, FW JI·Huizhou Corridor, Fengwu Village, Yixian, Huangshan, China, 2023.   IARA Design and Research Office

Principals: Lubin Liu, Jingqiu Zhang
Team: Bin Dai, Yuxin Han, Wenrui Li, Qinming Luo

The project site is located in an old alleyway at the heart of the village—a vital passage for villagers’ daily life. The historic buildings lining the alley are said to have been constructed during the reign of Emperor Guangxu by Wang Jiarui, a deputy magistrate in waiting. In addition to serving as a daily thoroughfare, the alley functions as a kind of “outdoor living room” for the villagers.

The design of “Huizhou Corridor” begins with a deep respect for and preservation of the existing historic buildings. Only a few light column bases touch the ground, ensuring maximum protection of the existing environment. The small-section wood trusses also adapt well to the varying widths of the alley. All structural timber components are light enough to be carried by hand, eliminating the need for heavy construction machinery. Connections between materials are made with bolts or self-tapping screws, allowing for rapid on-site assembly. The use of new timber introduces a rhythm and aesthetic that echoes traditional wooden structures while infusing new energy into the historic village.

Alsar Atelier + Oscar Zamora + Yasmin Crespo, A Hydroponics Module, Bogotá, Colombia, September 2024. Area: 23.4m2.  

 
Clients:  Funded by:

The architectural design of the module emerged from the repurposing of an industrial shelving system—originally a consumerist material—into a solution that enables social construction: fast and reusable. The module is designed as a lightweight and semi-permanent structure, designed with the foresight of being dismantled if needed, allowing its components to return to their original use without generating waste or be relocated to another vacant lot, where the modular design can expand or shrink accordingly.  The project provides space for personal on-site cultivation, sustainable water use, and collective post-harvest activities, fostering inclusion and self-management. The design integrates with urban gardening workshops and houses the eighth Seed Bank of Chapinero from the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden, preserving 43 native and heirloom species.

Project Team:
JSa - Juan Pedro López, Nallely Quiñones, Lilia Malfavón, Israel Silva, Alejandra de la Vega, Juan Pablo Acosta Lázaro Estudio - Jorge González .studio Álvarez Tello: Mariana Tello, Israel Álvarez .tello

The pavilions move across the topography like dunes beneath the forest canopy, accommodating four multipurpose halls, public restrooms, and administrative facilities.

As a collective, they are designed to host environmental and artistic workshops, sports classes, and community gatherings, fostering a sense of civic participation and ecological awareness that encourages an experience deeply rooted in the forest environment.

Their façade, composed of black-stained terracotta tiles, acts as a breathable skin, enabling continuous cross-ventilation throughout each pavilion and a degree of visual permeability that provides ideal privacy for the activities taking place within, without compromising passive oversight that helps deter potential illicit activities.

Colectivo C733, Estación Tapachula, Tapachula, México, 2020-2021.    Project Architects: Gabriela Carrillo, Eric Valdez, Israel Espín and TO (Jose Amozurrutia and Carlos Facio)

Design team: Álvaro Martínez, Israel Carrión, Fernando Venado Executive architect: Vectores Urbanos (Cristopher Méndez) Originally inaugurated in the early 20th century, Tapachula Railway Station served as a vital gateway between Mexico and Guatemala and played a central role in the city’s development.

After Hurricane Stan devastated the rail network in 2005, reconstruction proved unfeasible, and the station gradually deteriorated into an abandoned and neglected site. Through community initiatives and the Urban Improvement Program implemented by SEDATU, the area was transformed into a new public and cultural hub.

The project restores the station’s role as an urban connector through a linear sequence of flexible public spaces inspired by the rhythm of the former railway tracks. A lightweight tensile structure spans up to 24 meters, creating covered and open-air areas for sports, cultural activities, recreation, and community events. Concrete elements integrated into the landscape form seating, ancillary spaces, orchards, and public plazas. The intervention also carefully restores the historic station building, preserving its original structure, textures, and collective memory.   Photos © Rafael Gamo    ©2026 Colectivo C733.

Ludwig Godefroy, Casa Alferez, Mexico City, Mexico, 2023.   The Quebrada de Alférez House is inspired by the archetype of the cabin and the romantic idea of a protective retreat in the forest, an isolated dwelling that appears as if it had been gently placed among the trees.

The design is guided by three main principles. First, it combines the warmth of a cabin with the security of a fortress, expressed through exposed concrete. The house is conceived as a protective shelter, with solid walls and elevated windows that enhance privacy and security. Second, the structure is designed to be highly compact, minimizing its footprint on the steep site and reducing the need for complex foundations.

Partially embedded into the hillside and partially cantilevered among the pines, it creates the impression of a cabin suspended within the natural landscape. Third, the house grows vertically rather than horizontally, reaching toward sunlight and the treetops.

Organized around split levels and a double-height space, it uses high windows and skylights to bring natural light deep into the interior. Photo ©Rory Gardiner

Orma Architettura, Pavillons De Renava, Bonifacio, Corsica, France, 2022.    Developed through a collaboration between the City of Bonifacio, the Collectivity of Corsica, and the Association De Renava, this project transforms a series of overlooked and little-known spaces within the Citadel of Bonifacio into contemporary exhibition pavilions.

Vacant for many years, these historically significant sites have been carefully restored and adapted through a sensitive architectural approach that respects both their natural surroundings and their cultural heritage.
The intervention seeks to reconnect these forgotten places with local, insular, and international audiences.

Some of the restored spaces date back to the 11th century and now host contemporary artworks presented in dialogue with the existing historic fabric. Rather than competing with the monuments of the citadel, the new pavilions establish a discreet and non-intrusive presence that enhances the experience of the site.

Beyond preservation, the project aims to promote cultural participation, support local knowledge and craftsmanship, and encourage innovative artistic practices.
