One may think that every space can be renovated, and that what matters most is the purchase price. To a certain extent, this is true. The essential question, however, is: how do we imagine the renovation?
Can we transform an apartment with very small rooms into an open-plan space? Perhaps yes, bu…
Very often, while looking at photographs of homes for rent, we feel the spontaneous urge to turn the pages as quickly as possible and move on to the next listing. It is not always the space itself that is at fault. Quite often, it is the way the space is presented.
Before the photography takes pl…
Today, this will be a phrase that I am thinking of leaving uninterpreted — of not presenting its signified meanings. Everyone can contribute their own interpretation. I will only offer a few thematic fields: buildings and bioclimatic façades, packaging and marketing, clothing and the soul, behavior/…
When developing an architectural concept and solution, we take into account not only the shaping of space, but also orientation, the thermal comfort of its future inhabitants, and the circulation within that space.

However, looking at Ozzio Italia’s showcase at Salone del Mobile.Milano (April 2026),
we witness a true evolution of the brand's t…
I observe the floor plans from floor to floor,
from building to building
within a complex, and I wonder:
are we such staunch advocates of symmetry, of mirrored
design, of consecutive 'mirroring',
of our architectural 'identity',
of budget economy,
or of construction e…
When the coronavirus forced us into
a long-distance communication,
professional or otherwise,
the ideal backdrop to frame our presence
was a bookshelf—even a cluttered one,
even with dictionaries,
even with small decorative objects (of sentimental value),
even with…
Once, the notebook was an essential tool for the architectural history course,
