Brezno light-filled interactive core - The new school establishes itself as the ‘new social hub’ of Brezno, enhancing community engagement and maintaining strong connections with the surrounding landscape and existing sports complex. Public atriums, a dynamic roofscape, and playscapes create vibrant gathering spaces. By weaving interactive volumes into light-filled modular classrooms, the design transforms the everyday school into a network of chance encounters and shared learning moments. - #architecture #revitalize #brezno #competition #school #learning

Sharing our proposal for Revitalization of Březno Primary School competition we did earlier this year organized by Municipality of Březno in Prague. - The new school establishes itself as the ‘new social hub’ of Brezno, enhancing community engagement and maintaining strong connections with the surrounding landscape and existing sports complex. Public atriums, a dynamic roofscape, and playscapes create vibrant gathering spaces. By weaving interactive volumes into light-filled modular classrooms, the design transforms the everyday school into a network of chance encounters and shared learning moments. - Images by @vustyansky - #architecture #revitalize #brezno #competition #school #learning

Figure x MAZi Architects x Temporary Office are one of the winners of Los Angeles’ Small Lots, Big Impacts competition! Share A Lot (or A Little) proposes to split Site B into five small lot subdivisions. Generous ground floor yards separate building volumes, preserving a sense of home so often missing from higher density housing. Importantly, we believe the act of sharing and being communal should be a daily choice, and that it is possible to have the best of both worlds and the fifth lot is exemplary of this potential. In the most ideal sharing scenario, individual owners of other parcels come together to co-own this fifth lot. For some groups, the structure on this fifth lot can become a shared guest house, a daycare, a co-working studio, a cooperative rental, or even house a 4-car garage; the key is communal use and ownership. The hope is that the structuring of the lots will incentivize some to self-organize, share, and build a resilient mosaic of independence and interdependence. Ultimately, as we endeavor to replace scarcity with lower barriers to ownership, equity, and sharing, the city can eventually become even more so a reflection of its inhabitants. The jury noted: “Share A Lot introduces a different visual vocabulary for L.A., but one that incorporates some decidedly Angeleno qualities like the portico and the gardens associated with each home. The potential cooperative ownership of the fifth parcel offers a new model for sharing resources that still ensures at least eight units on this small site. The repetition of parts and rigor of the scheme produce a project that seems equal parts refined, buildable, and replicable.” Thank you to the organizers at @citylabucla Team: @figure.office @jamesleng @jennifer.t.ly @maziarchitects @despoina_ec_ak @temporaryoffice @yeefoolai

Legacy Mist’s chamber is a catalyst for aroma. The symphony of plants is enclosed within a translucent chamber that densifies the aromatic quality. The chamber’s enigmatic look removes our attention to the actual plant itself and refocus on the smell it exudes. - #installation #mist #botanist #legacy #london #designweek #water #polycarbonate #construction

Our shortlisted installation, ‘Legacy Mist,’ for @clerkenwelldesignweek is a tribute to Dr. John Frost, the 19th-century physician and botanist who founded St. John’s Hospital and the Medico-Botanical Society—located at the very site of our installation. As visitors pass through a cloud of botanically-infused vapour, they encounter not only the scented wisdom of global traditions but also an invitation to pause, breathe and feel – a contemporary act of public care. - Congratulations to all shortlisted entries and the final winner of this competition! Competition organized by @dezeen and @villeroyboch - #installation #mist #botanist #legacy #london #designweek #water #polycarbonate

Doing some retrospection and gathering our thoughts on our 3 dwelling projects—each rooted in the quiet hope that architecture can bring people together to heal. Primitive structures as it derives from simple manipulation of known contextual forms into one that offers shelter, presence and possibility of renewal to those who inhabits it. - #reflection #projects #healing #primitive #structure #dwelling

Lapping Details. The end tips are deliberately extended 2 inches on all sides to express the lapping of the square timber dowel. - @tijuanadesignweek #timber #detail #installation

As the new edition of Tijuana Design Week is around the corner, we look back at our installation ‘Two fold Encounter’ built in the hall of Cecut Cultural Center. Humbling to see the gravity of the permeable wall be the center of play, conversation and gathering. - #twofoldencounter #installation @tijuanadesignweek #play #structure #timber

Mori-Hako, #Kitakaruizawa, Japan by Temporary Office @temporaryoffice 🔗 /visualization/mori-hako-kitakaruizawa-japan-by-temporary-office Temporary Office: Inspired by the delicate art of a Japanese gift box like Kiribako or Oribako, where each layer is thoughtfully designed to build anticipation and surprise, this retreat house gradually reveals itself, much like the careful unwrapping of nature’s gift. Situated within the tranquil, dense forest of Kitakaruizawa, the design emerges as a respectful offering to its surroundings, with each space representing a new discovery within the natural environment... #japan #archviz 🔗 / A collection of the best contemporary architecture to inspire you. #design #architecture #amazingarchitecture #architect #arquitectura #luxury #realestate #life #cute #architettura #interiordesign #photooftheday #love #travel #construction #furniture #instagood #fashion #beautiful #archilovers #home #house ‎#amazing #picoftheday #architecturephotography #архитектура ‎#معماری
