Excited to share a project milestone – our center proudly emerged as one of the top 15 participants worldwide in an international competition focused on the revitalization of a historic area and place making in Madrid, Spain. Our objective was to breathe new life into the building by seamlessly blending it with the surrounding natural environment. The process involved establishing fundamental supports to both preserve and showcase the historical structure, followed by the creation of a dynamic pathway. This pathway, acting as a vital artery, beckons individuals from various points of the building, enticing them to partake in a myriad of activities. To safeguard the building against the elements, a roof cover was meticulously crafted, enabling year-round utilization. The convergence of indoor and outdoor activities was then strategically designed to infuse vibrancy and allure into the building, making it an engaging space for people of all walks of life.

The quality of the #openspaces is almost more important for the city than the buildings themselves. It is the space where people spend time and come together. If this in-between space has no quality, if people don't feel comfortable in public spaces, then no urban district will emerge. For us as #architects, the spaces that promote social exchange and encounters are important, regardless of the functions that bring people to the place.

Architecture impacts the urban fabric, while it also influences the behavior of communities, and defines the identity of cities. it goes beyond aesthetics, it must address the functional needs of its users, spaces, environmental sustainability, and also importantly the preservation of cultural heritage. #Architecture #urbanplanning #urbandesign #development

🧘♀️ Architecture influences not just the way we live, but how we feel. Thoughtfully designed spaces can improve well-being, productivity, and overall happiness. Whether it's natural light, open spaces, or calming materials, our goal at Luttrell Architecture is to create environments that promote wellness. 🌿🏠 #WellnessDesign #MindfulArchitecture #LuttrellArchitecture

In a clear sign that spatial #adaptation lies ahead, the Pritzker Architecture Prize 2024 has been awarded to Riken Yamamoto. His work expands the liminal space between the binaries of public and private for social advantage. Places that are semi-private, spaces that are shareable, spaces where we see/hear and are seen/heard, are a concept that we, in the individualistic West, are uncomfortable with, yet are destined to inhabit more often as urban populations grow and as our use of space and materials and energy must become wiser. For generations now, we have increasingly preferred to surround our homes (our castles) with high walls and hedges, demarcating property lines and blocking out the public (a part of ourselves), creating hidden, sanctuary spaces, but also sacrificing neighbourhood-ness in that choice, as well as reducing our experience of public places to geographical areas where anonymous lives cross but don't connect. Yamamoto expands the transitional space to dignify lives with greater social connection. His first project, in 1977, the Yamakawa Villa, Nagano, was a family home open on all sides to its woodland site, creating a conceptual union between the house/family and the outside/passers-by. He went on to design homes with connectivity to community through rooftops and terraces, incorporating social and structural opportunities into #architecture. Stir magazine describes his work as treading the social threshold. The award jury cited his achievement of creating awareness in the architecture profession for the "responsibility of social demand". “One of the things we need most in the future of cities is to create conditions through architecture that multiply the opportunities for people to come together and interact. By carefully blurring the boundary between public and private, Yamamoto contributes positively beyond the brief to enable community,” - Alejandro Aravena, Jury Chair https://lnkd.in/gsQX78ZN Read more: https://lnkd.in/g-wkFFmg https://lnkd.in/gN48gEUb https://lnkd.in/guRfhPNm
