Adraga Tiny House / Madeiguincho

Adraga Tiny House is a shelter designed for a retired couple who decided to move next to nature. Whilst similar to the other T.O.W Adraga doesn´t work with an off-grid system and thereby makes it possible to propose a more vast spatial situation.

50 Hudson Yards / Foster + Partners

50 Hudson Yards is a 78-story office building in New York. Covering an entire block, the tower is a distinctive piece of the city that mindfully sits within New York’s urban grid. It contains almost 3 million square feet of flexible office space while providing an abundance of retail facilities and new public spaces at ground level. The building acts as a gateway to New York’s vibrant new neighborhood, offering a direct underground connection to the adjacent subway station. The LEED Gold-designed tower forms an integral part of the Hudson Yards district.

We live in a world in constant transformation, where cities become increasingly compact, hermetic, and frictional, forcing the overcrowding of their residents; and Buenos Aires cannot escape this trend. The largest and most populous city in the country becomes more crowded and constructed every day, where we intersect with the uncontrollable increase of "people", and the shock of the unknown, with an apparent increase of otherness. This is why we move away, we close ourselves off in our little worlds with less empathy and closeness, in what not so long ago used to be an organic community. Issues as primitive as the sun, the wind, the trees, the light, and the shadows, seem to be more and more absent, but they continue to inhabit here, in our common environment. These elements continually become more appealing, but each time we give less room for their appearance. To let them be. Let them flow and enter our homes.

Africa at Architecture Biennials: Questioning Difficult Histories of Representation

From the Tbilisi Architecture Biennial to the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, architecture exhibitions are ever-increasing fixtures on cultural calendars around the contemporary world. New editions of architecture exhibitions rest on a foundation propagated by exhibitions of the past – and these historical expositions, to a great degree, have shaped the architectural discourse we have today. But as these exhibitions were born out of a western framework, African historical representations on the biennial and triennial architectural stage have often been reductive, with an assortment of cultures flattened into one, and distinct architectural styles meshed in an incoherent manner.
