Breaking the traditional lines of rural architecture in Skåne. My last project is already in use

"If humans are imperfect beings, the architecture we make should reflect that imperfection, those details, those vestiges of irregularities that give it character and turn it into a craft." Ángel Bolaños Méndez, alumnus of the course in Architecture for Humanity, had the opportunity to interview José Selgas and Lucia Cano, founders of selgascano, architectural office based in Madrid. ✏️Read the article on the Students’ Blog: https://lnkd.in/dE7v5z_N #yac #yacademy #studentsblog

Beyond Zero and Infinity: Exploring a Fifth Dimensional Architecture through Tradition and Innovation This exploration seeks to transcend the conventional architectural boundaries of "Between Zero and Infinity" by investigating a dimensional capacity that exists beyond time, conceptualized as a fifth dimension. In this approach, infinity is understood as circumspect, ultimately resolving itself into nothingness (zero). However, the objective is not merely to dwell within this void but to explore a space that operates outside such constraints. Tradition becomes pivotal in this context, not as a relic of the past, but as a dynamic force —a foundation for future innovation. By reinterpreting historical architectural practices, this approach seeks to utilize the lessons of the past as instruments for the future. > 0 & 00 #gordonmattaclark #athanasiuskircher #fifthelement

#FuturePrediction - 13 In the Future, Architects will design buildings using living organisms that grow and adapt to their environments, creating cities that are entirely alive and regenerative. Homes might be grown from bio-engineered seeds. I will call this “Bio-Architecture”

As we celebrate World Architecture Day 2024 with the theme of Empowering the next generation to participate in urban design, I cannot help but reflect on my motivation behind my PhD research on Complex Urban Integration. My research explores how architects can address the socio-spatial integration of migrants, tackling some of the most pressing challenges our cities face today. Architecture isn’t just about designing buildings—it’s about shaping cities that are sustainable, inclusive, and equitable. Through my research, I aim to contribute to the knowledge that helps marginalised communities find their place in urban environments, ensuring our future cities are designed for everyone. #WorldArchitectureDay #UrbanIntegration #PhDResearch #InclusiveCities #SustainableArchitecture #ArchitectsForChange

I am thrilled to finally share a few of the modules finalised in the Gritnova Course. In this module, we mastered the topics of: -Bio-inspiration, biomimetic and biology in architecture -Biomimetic approach in real-world architectural design practices -Relationship between architecture and biology -Materials, methods and analyses *there are a few more badges to come soon #GritnovaAcademy #Biomimicry #Architecture #Design

When modern and ancient architecture converge, it forms a captivating contrast that bridges the gap between tradition and innovation.

The city of Stockholm has high ambitions for sustainability and environmental work. We are growing significantly, and by the year 2030, there should be or have been initiated 140,000 housing units compared to the year 2014. This places high demands on construction actors. We had a talk with dutch champion circular architecture, project developer and director at cepezed projects Menno Rubbens about the future of sustainable construction and the potential of AI. #SustainableConstruction #UrbanDevelopment #Stockholm

Word of the Day! Social Architecture, 1. Architecture intended for use by the mass of people as social beings as a reaction against architecture concerned with form and style supposedly for the dominant members of society. #architecture #aia #california
