Conversation during the first house visit - Richard: "It's actually quite wonderful just the way it is. The rest doesn't seem so important."
Matej: "Yes, beauty can wear off. It's just... the house kind of turns its back on us, don't you think?"

A good design should be adapted to the user's needs, and participatory design aims to reduce the distance between architects and those for whom the project is made. In this sense, projects for children that welcome them as central actors in the design process demonstrate how the potential of active listening and co-designing is reflected in spaces adapted to a smaller scale and to an audience in a phase of intense learning.

CSF Center is a place where people not only ignite hope for children with disabilities, but also strengthen its surroundings in termsof  social responsibility and collective wellbeing. A place full of ambition and transformation for children with disabilities. Located in Shahzadpur, Bangladesh, the center provides a safe and welcoming space where these children, along with their families, can come together, receive support, and grow. Since 2000, CSF Global (formerly the Child Sight Foundation) has been working to create an inclusive society where children with disabilities are given equal opportunities to thrive. Their goal is to make sure no child is left behind, whether due to preventable health conditions or social barriers, and that both children with disabilities and their families have access to high-quality services and care.

The Colombia Pavilion at the Expo Osaka 2025 adopts the theme "ICE CUBE," inspired by the scene in Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude where a young boy encounters ice for the first time. Translating this literary reference into built form, the pavilion presents a facade of translucent cubes set at varying angles, creating a sense of movement and articulation. Designed by MORF Inc., with Karim Chahal as Project Director and Ko Oono as Principal Architect, the exterior is composed of semi-transparent polycarbonate panels integrated with color-controlled lighting, allowing the facade to transform in appearance throughout the day and night.
