House with Pavilion / Arhitekti Počivašek Petranovič

We found the typical Istrian site - a small settlement at the end of the ridge. The hilly part of Istria is characterized by "refugal" towns and settlements on exposed positions, peaks, and final ridges. Buildings of the settlement are small-scale houses, arranged to follow the relief of the ridge. The client wanted a comfortable »classical« country house, where they could spend most of their time. The program has more than 700 m2 of net surface area.

The Mexican Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale Explores the Ecological Potential of Ancestral Agricultural Systems

Titled "Chinampa Veneta", the Mexican exhibition for the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia seeks to promote reflection on how we inhabit, cultivate, and design the world we share. In the face of the global ecological crisis, the project draws attention to chinampas, an ancient Mesoamerican agricultural system with more than four thousand years of history. This ancestral knowledge, interweaving landscape, infrastructure, and technique, is reimagined in the context of the Biennale, activating a living environment within the city of Venice. The Mexican Pavilion will therefore consist of two "enactments," one located in the Arsenale and another built on water.

Exploring 3D Printing in Academia: Prototypes That Foster Collaboration in Architecture

According to the analysis firm Gartner, 3D printer sales surged by 75% around 2014, nevertheless, the technology continues to experience significant growth. While there are multiple debates in the field of architecture about whether 3D printing can be considered craftsmanship or if it is feasible to mix local materials with 3D printing, its implementation from academia aims to create new experiences, research, and knowledge that contribute to its development and practical application. Now, how might the integration of 3D printing in academia provoke future changes in the construction industry? And how could education in architecture and design encourage collaboration with other disciplines to create new applications across different fields?

Caffè Nazionale / AMAA - Collaborative Office For Research And Development

The Caffè Nazionale, designed by AMAA, embraces the city: the restoration of this historic venue in Arzignano, Northern Italy, is a multifaceted project that draws upon existing elements and memories to create a vibrant, living palimpsest. AMAA designed the Caffè Nazionale by establishing a direct relationship with the city of Arzignano, Italy, and its public spaces. The historical traces, with which the project engages in a deeply creative dialogue, generate a layered depth that AMAA has emphasized through a series of spatial elements acting as theatrical backdrops. The studio, founded by Marcello Galiotto and Alessandra Rampazzo, envisioned an intense, collaborative intervention, with artist partnerships culminating in an open and multifaceted creation.
