A House in the Andes / ODD ARCHITECTS

Integration with Terrain - Rising from sculpted mounds of native vegetation, the house is defined by a landscape strategy that echoes local topography and evokes a sense of highland wilderness. Processional access is carved into the mounds, revealing rammed earth walls and referencing the Chaquiñán—ancestral trails once used to navigate the rugged Andean geography. This approach choreographs movement through terrain, leading to a sunken threshold and immersive sectional sequence.

Beutre Housing Estates Rehabilitation / Christophe Hutin architecture

Built at the end of the 60s on the model of post-war emergency and transit housing, the Beutre housing estates carry with them the history of their inhabitants. To live there with dignity, they went beyond their status as precarious occupants and took charge of improving their housing conditions. They maintained, embellished, and expanded. They created the vegetable gardens they needed. Over a period of almost fifty years, they transformed the precariousness and relegation to which they were subjected into the ability to act on their housing.

Terra and Vidru House / Architecture for Humans + Federico Cartamantiglia + Fabrizio Carboni + Enrico Manca

Casa Terra e Vidru was developed by the studio Architecture for Humans in collaboration with designer Fabrizio Carboni and architect Enrico Manca. The project emerged from the client's desire to create a personal home while allocating part of the space for short-term rentals. Located in the urban area of Cagliari, the house still draws deep inspiration from the Sardinian landscape and its materiality.

House in Cieneguilla / Vásquez & López Arquitectos

This house is located in the Lurín River Valley, the place where many pre-Hispanic cultures developed. It is proposed as a large block of mass that occupies the entire permitted front of the lot, reserving the back part for the privacy of the family it hosts. This initial decision gives it a marked stereotomic character, with a sense of weight and significant mass, a block that is linked to the ground or emerges from it, whose spaces and the materiality that compose them propose an integration with the essence and cultural past of the territory in which it is located.
