CODEC Training Centre - Kuakata / Community Development Centre (CODEC)

The Kuakata Training Center, designed by CODEC Design Studio, is a purpose-built facility supporting skill development and capacity building for coastal communities in Bangladesh. Positioned close to fishing settlements, ecological zones, and tourist routes, it offers residential training on coastal resource management, sustainable tourism, and disaster preparedness. Developed through a phased construction process, the project emphasizes quality, sustainability, and contextual relevance. Local contractors and laborers were engaged from the outset, ensuring not only construction efficiency but also skill transfer and community ownership of the center.

Located in Luján, Buenos Aires province, the house reflects the philosophy of the studio, based on the use of materials in their pure state. Brick, concrete, steel, and glass intertwine with natural light, forming textures and contrasts of shadows, fullness, and emptiness.

The Lisbon Architecture Triennale announced as the winner of the fifth edition of the Début Award the Indian office ReSa Architects. The office is known for its collective approach to spatial practice, treating architecture as a process of rewriting social and bodily relations. In previous editions, the award recognized the work Vão (Brazil, 2022), Bonell+Dòriga (Spain, 2019), Umwelt (Chile, 2016) and Jimenez Lai, from Bureau Spectacular (USA, 2013).

The House of Tuesdays project was embraced by us with special affection, as it is a house purchased by the current owners 50 years ago, but only recently vacated by its tenants.
