Contemporary forms contaminate abandoned Orthodox churches
Not digital works, but real light structures that contaminate these old abandoned Orthodox churches in Russia. This is the intervention of Danila Tkachenko, a visual artist based in Moscow who worked on the existing with contemporary forms and paradigms. It is a concrete intervention that also considers spaces and surfaces, freeing itself from digital “fiction”. […]
Casa Poli, a singularity in the Chilean landscape
Far away, in the and naturalistic peninsula of Coliumo in Chile, architects Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen have created CASAPOLI. This singular cubic-shaped architecture stands out for its brutalist soul and its stark contrast to the rounded lines of the surrounding landscape. A difference that, however, leads to harmony.

The pavilion in the fjords of Greenland
They look like ice blocks, but they are glass blocks. This is the Qaammat Fjeld pavilion built by Konstantin Ikonomidis between two fjords in Sarfannguit, Greenland. The place is a UNESCO heritage site and also for this reason this public installation tries to intervene “on tiptoe” in the surrounding landscape. It does so by using […]
Concrete surrounded by nature
Designed by LCLA Office and Clara Arango, the Ballen Houses is not only a splendid example of contemporary architecture but also and above all, a home in perfect harmony with nature. The boundary between inside and outside is rarely clearly marked in this intervention. And when it is, as in the case of the elevations, […]
Sleeping overlooking the Pacific Ocean
La Loica and La Tagua. The two minimalist cabins designed by Croxatto and Opazo Architects dominate the Pacific Ocean from a hill in Navidad, Chile. An incredible location for incredible stays. An intervention that does not impact the landscape, but on the contrary, enhances it in some ways. They are, in fact, only two in […]
The beach chapel in Shanwei
On the south coast of China, in Shanwei, on a beach that is not easy to imagine if you think of China, stands the Jingting Bay chapel designed by O-office Architects. A coastal landmark that seems to rise from the waves and sinuously reach the sky. A pure white element relates to the city skyline […]

Gijs Van Vaerenbergh’s commemorative monument of the “New Dutch Waterline”

The New Dutch Waterline was a territorial-scale work conceived to defend Dutch territory since the […]

A series that came to life during the eight journeys that Hayley Eichenbaum made on this road crossing the […]
Madrid’s brutalist architecture photographed by Roberto Conte
“I did some research before I left and was amazed by the architecture I was finding, which is much less known than it deserves to be.” Roberto Conte on Dezeen. Architectural photographer Roberto Conte recently made a work on the city of Madrid and in particular on the brutalism of its buildings. A topic very […]
Fun and bizarre architecture photography
How can you make a project remembered indelibly? Sometimes a bit of creativity and fun can help! It is the case of this series of bizarre architecture photography and videos in which, in addition to the conventional photoshoot, architects and photographers created some funny scenes ad hoc. A very original way to tell a project. […]
Abandoned gas holders photographed by Richard Chivers
Architectural photographer Richard Chivers photographed a series of abandoned gas holders across England, over thirty shots in cities across the country, including Leeds, Manchester, Brighton and Sunderland. Just as Piercarlo Quecchia did with the defensive monoliths, in the same way, Richard Chivers fixed these fascinating gigantic structures with splendid images. The reason that prompted him […]
