ADNBA-Dragos Voda 17
Located within an old and diverse urban fabric with long plots specific to Bucharest, the proposal appears, at first glance, as a compact volume.

The new office building is placed within a triangular city block in downtown Bucharest, defined by a variety of periods and styles.

A simple “box” with a rectangular shape ends the end of both streets. With a blind gable, it leans, finishing at times from height, at times from the extensive vertical plane that the main elevation of the school presents to the southeast. At the end of Dr. Manuel Lopes street, to the southwest, the elevation of the “Santos” house designed by “Àlvaro Siza” determines the option for the inclined roof, making 90º with the adjacent plane. The formal finishing of the gables/roofs allows reinforcing the importance of the recessed plan of the Municipal Library that appears to us in the middle of the street.

Contaminar Architects-Povo House – AWARDS PROJECT HOUSE
The project was developed at Povo, on the outskirts of Leiria, Portugal. An area where rocky elements are predominant in the landscape, limestone lands, irregular topographies, and sharp contrasts.

Thus arises the idea of a cave, an austere carved and denticulated refuge that is humanized by its occupants.

Syed Qaiser Mumtaz-Enduring Memory An exploration in Reuse
Buildings often age toward a seemingly inevitable conclusion of discard and dilapidation that are indicative of the contexts’ physical and intangible changes. The social or practical usefulness of buildings is not only relevant to physical or economic viability but also their metaphysical qualities; their association with their context and their relationships with people. More often than not, these indicators are imposed onto architecture, and even designed into them to
sustain an unfairly destructive, growing urban landscape.
