Africa has the fastest urban growth in the world. The continent’s population is projected to double between now and 2050. Two-thirds of this growth will be absorbed by urban areas and, in the next 30 years, cities will be home to an additional 950 million people. This offers great opportunities, but also challenges for African citizens, businesses, governments and their partners. Among these cities we can find Bamako, the capital of Mali. Considering the projected population growth, many of the current 2.6 million residents will live to see the population surpass 13 million by 2050.

Global environmental problems and deteriorating living conditions in big cities are forcing humanity to look for a more comfortable living environment. The development of information technologies that lets us solve many daily and social problems remotely contributes a lot to such a search. Many megacity residents move to the country hoping for a different quality of life. Many opt for cottage settlements in the immediate vicinity of their city. On the one hand, this allows them to be close to nature and on the other hand, to stay in touch with their office, relatives and friends, and, more importantly, to remain a part of their familiar community.

Death is a fundamental part of the human existence, and its impact on us has inspired some of the most important architectural achievements in human history. Marking the lives and deaths of important figures, rulers, and heroes has been the driving force behind many wonderful and influential structures, from memorials and mausoleums all the way back to the ancient pyramids in Egypt.

Devínska Kobyla Missile Base – Student Competition

ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

A proposal for the use of the missile base complex: the Iron Curtain Memorial, military museum, gallery, campus for artists, ecologists, historians, tourist infrastructure, facilities for environmental activists…

Register: OCT/29/2021, Submit: OCT/29/2021, Eligibility: Architecture students and graduates who graduated in 2019 and 2020, Fee: Free, Awards: 1st Prize: 3,000 EUR, 2nd Prize: 2,000 EUR, 3rd Prize: 1,000 EUR

The missile base located above the city of Bratislava, Slovakia, on the top of Devínska Kobyla is today an unused and dilapidated memory of history. Concrete silos, bunkers and barracks built in the 1980s attract only a few contemporary witnesses, curious people and passing tourists. The buildings are in poor technical condition and, in many cases, movement in their vicinity is dangerous. In such locality which oozes history and is also surrounded by beautiful countryside, we see the potential for its improvement.

Her Vertical Retain Us

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Los Cerrillos, Chile, Architects: Cruz-Mandiola, elton_léniz, Artists: Fernando Prats, Ámbito Cero, Photographs: Cristóbal Palma / Estudio Palma

The work of Fernando Prats sustains itself in the landscape of Chile, both geographical and human, and the immersive energy of its extreme nature. The piece entitled “Her Vertical Retains Us” (Su Vertical nos Retiene) arises out of continuous observation of the Andes, the “Poem of Chile” (Poema de Chile) by Gabriel Mistral, and drawings from the 1875 Atlas of Physical Geography of the Republic of Chile, done by geologist Pedro José Amado Pissis.

House of Light Voids

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Medan, Indonesia, Architects: byrayboedi – Raymond Boedi, Photographs: Saputra Hendy

This residential project is located in Medan, Indonesia. The land itself is 150 m2 and the 3 storey house is 250 m2. It all starts from a simple line and altogether, they transform into varying sizes and shapes. With a hint of nature’s greatest source of life – light, they form a perfectly balanced architecture. The façade is a 3.8 meter high concrete wall, shielding the porch that are purposively hidden at first sight to trigger interests and curiosities.

Caseta de les Brugueres Refurbishment

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: El Priorato, Spain, Architects: GMO Arquitectura, Photographs: Del Rio Bani

“Caseta de las Brugueras” refurbishment is a Project to rehabilitate a listed small Catalan country house or “Mas”, to turn it into a small refuge for short-term vacation breaks. The “Mas” is located in Priorat, an area of volcanic origin, a region with a rough and wild appearance, with landscapes of impressive luminosity. The building, settled in this same environment, retains the essence of the region; the silence and tranquility with maximum respect for the pre-existing construction and in close contact with the environment.

G House

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Tel Aviv, Israel, Architects: Axelrod Architects, Pitsou Kedem Architect, Photographs: Amit Geron

Appearing to effortlessly float above the ground, the G House advances the firm’s residential design beyond a purely minimalist approach. The G House is horizontally expressed but uses vertical space and light in surprising ways. The simply shaped residence on a small half of a dunam lot is organized along a horizontal framework which contains two living levels and a basement. The main level features copious glazing which opens to a private yard and pool; it is the entire wall of glass that creates the illusion of a floating building. The roof itself hovers above the house, separated by a slim glass window line.
