Four Buildings in Avenida Brasil in Cascais, Portugal by Aurora Architects + FuroApril 8th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Aurora Architects + Furo The project consists of a set of residential buildings with about 3300 m2 located in Cascais. The studios Aurora Arquitectos and FURO sign the architecture. The site and the great height difference between the street fronts were the generating principle to create four volumes of semi-detached houses. Each of the eight houses is organized into three levels, with the middle level being the social floor. Conceptually, this floor is an open plan divided by functional volumes that house the kitchen, a bathroom, or a closet. The façade is completely glazed. The fluidity of the plan and the transparency of the façade are combined to give the perception of continuity between the interior floor and the landscaped exterior surface that covers the garage and is at the same level as this floor.

Article source: Ludwig Godefroy Architecture The origin of the concept of Alferez house comes from the idea of a cabin in the wood and its romantic felling of a protective shelter in the middle of the forest. I wanted the house to look like a cube which would have crashed on the floor, among the trees.  Image Courtesy © Rory Gardiner

Article source: Ezequiel Farca The design of GDL 3 House located in Zapopan, Mexico, became a challenge due to the many restriction zones into the plot which led us to consider a house with a narrow front, developing the architectural program in a longitudinal direction from the front side to the rear side of the plot. At the same time, we took advantage of the restrictions zones to allow natural lighting and ventilation into the rooms. The program composed by three floors and one underground garage place the bedrooms and bathrooms in the intermediate floor, and the social areas in the lower and upper floors. The materials palette was chosen to create sober, elegant, and contemporary environments.  Image Courtesy © César Béjar

Article source: Dhulia Architecture Design The extension block at Dr Dhaval Rajnikant Mehta primary school is a depiction of the age-old Indian tradition of gaining knowledge under a tree located at the centre of the village. The village of Shapar is an industrial settlement with most of its population being daily wage factory workers from different Indian states. The children often quit education due to the nature of the parent’s jobs and wind up looking after their younger siblings and providing them meals. However, this school has students way more than the infrastructure they had because of good education and free midday meals. This encouraged the parents to send students to school and take interest in their educational well-being.  Image Courtesy © Umang Shah Photography

Article source: Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra The Cultural Centre CaixaForum represents the potential of fighting against difficulty, against (pre-existing) constraints. It is built mainly inside a prevailing concrete skeleton that was meant to be an underground parking area. The project coherently resolves two crucial issues when dealing with existing buildings: accommodating the new uses and making them visible (even being underground).
