Some paradoxes are particularly painful. There is much talk of space race, rapid and relentless consumption of resources. Many people have too much, far beyond what is necessary. Yet, in numerous places of the world, people are still suffering from hunger. There are no simple solutions to the gaps that have always affected human society. Still, what is certain is that often poverty is not caused by insufficient natural resources. One third of the population of the Global South practices agriculture in contexts that are highly suited to such activity.

Trends in the world of architecture today are just proliferating.

House of the Future means the smart house. One that reacts to changing external conditions. House designed in a smart way makes use of the conditions in which it was created – wind, light, and natural heat, which, for example, is given back to the interior at night, and prevents excessive heating on hot days.

A “home” is a space that is intimate to all. Apart from being our safe haven, a home goes beyond its everyday function of being a shelter for its users and their activities; it connects with each of us on an emotional and personal level. As time evolves, the definition of “home” also keeps changing. The 21st century witnessed concepts like AirBnB, Co-Living, Smart Homes, Tiny Homes, etc. gaining popularity with both young and oldergenerations alike sparking movements across the globe. Our Humble Adobe has witnessed transformations with rapid advancements in technology, the rise of efficient spaces, environmental and financial concerns, and growing needs & desires of the people living in them.

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.
