Moscow, the capital of Russia is now undergoing a major overhaul in terms of its urban language. A vast portion of this city’s last century communal (Khrushchyovka) housing is now being replaced by large-scale mixed-use townships and housing societies. The value of the housing will shoot more than 4 to 5 times as soon as the new revamp comes in which will fuel the real estate market even more. This will positively trigger city growth and eventually, more people will move to Moscow for finding places for their new dreams.

Genoa, Italy, is a city of ancient charm that keeps intact the medieval identity of its carrughi, the narrow streets that form the ancient center. The Lanterna is one of the most famous symbols, dominating the urban skyline, witnessing the bond that the Ligurian capital maintains with its own waterfront. The Galata Museum, together with the Biosphere and the Biga designed by architect Renzo Piano, are among the contemporary architectures that characterize the port area. In this atmosphere full of mixtures we want to imagine Genoa University Housing, a residence for the students of the nearby DAD (Department of Architecture and Design). The project will have to fit best in a margin between the city and the sea that is still without adequate accommodation.

The Czech Embassy complex in Addis Ababa will be a business card of the Czech Republic. Its mission will be primarily to express the cultural level of the state and the traditions of Czech architecture within the European and the world context of cultural heritage. It will be a place where foreigners can learn basic information about the history of the Czech Republic, culture and economy. In its own form and content, the embassy complex should express an adequate level of state representation, reflect the genius loci (the environment and the conditions of the site), all this together with meeting at the same time the requirement for functionality and purposefulness. The prerequisites for the architectural design are its expressive timelessness, high quality of execution, rational layout and the choice and use of adequate materials while sticking to the typological attributes of purpose-built buildings (offices and residences) for diplomatic missions.
