Montessori Children’s School in Belo Horizonte, Brazil by MEIUS ARCHITECTURENovember 12th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: MEIUS ARCHITECTURE “To help a child, we must provide them with an environment that allows them to develop freely” – Maria Montessori. Taking this phrase as a design premise, we needed to serve the client in a specific way, thinking like children. Firstly it would be necessary to choose colors that could suit the children, taking into account the importance of primary colors. However, we did not want to work with saturated colors in the interior, so we adapt furniture, carpentry and coatings with a more neutral palette.

Concordia Hub in Wrocław, Poland by MVRDVNovember 11th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: MVRDV MVRDV Designs Renovation of a Listed Heritage Building on an Island in Wrocław MVRDV has released its proposed design for the Concordia Hub, a renovation and extension of a 19th-century listed building on Słodowa Island in Wrocław, Poland. MVRDV’s design retains the façade of the existing building and adds a contemporary extension to the rear, creating a focal point for the neighbouring park and a destination that will attract more visitors to the Island. The German Army used Słodowa Island as a base for artillery in 1945, meaning that almost all of the structures on the island were destroyed during the Siege of Breslau in the final months of World War 2. The existing building is notable as the only remaining survivor after a handful of other structures were demolished, with the rest of the island now serving as a popular public park at the heart of the city, and the host of a number of festivals and cultural events.
