Amalia Hernández House / Agustín Hernández Navarro
Agustín Hernández Navarro is a Mexican sculptor and architect born in Mexico City. He is the son of politician Lamberto Hernández and Amalia Navarro and studied at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Leading exponent of “emotional” architecture in his country, Hernandez has fused elements from Mexico’s Pre-columbian past in his contemporary architecture. He usually starts by designing the vertical elements of a building, such as the stairs, as he feels these are of much importance. As organic nature, his architecture unites structure, form, and function.
Stone Island Shadow Project SS2010 Lookbook stone-island-shadow-project-ss2010-lookbook The complete Stone Island Shadow Project SS2010 lookbook from the Techspec archive: lightweight technical sportswear and the PARSEQ system by Acronym.
The fourth Stone Island Shadow Project capsule — the lightest, most comprehensive offering, built on the PARSEQ performance grid.
[]
The Stone Island Shadow vector continues with the project's fourth seasonal capsule collection. Fueled by new reactions within the project's original conceptual core, fresh manifestations of fabric, style, detail, and interface emerge as the lightest, yet most comprehensive, offering thus far.
This unique trajectory begins, of course, at a unique point of origin — the inimitable constellation of research and development that is STONE ISLAND. Hidden detail and potential action lies at the heart of each and every Stone Island Shadow style.
Enfolding this in a simpler, softer way, a new focus can be brought to bear on both resolution of shape and fidelity of color. The goal is vibrancy and directness; stripping away the superfluous without sacrificing capability, and the lightness that can only be found by moving through one's environment with zero resistance.
Modular Performance Grid, PARSEQ is the organizational framework upon which the idea is built: PROOF, AUGMENT, RESIST, SKIN and EQUIP. All Shadow fabrics work together as part of the grid — breathable, moisture managing, skin-friendly and maintainable — chosen for their balance of performance technology and the aesthetic treatments for which Stone Island has been known since its inception.

Josef Schulz is a photographer known for capturing images of modern warehouses and factories, which are typically considered mundane industrial structures with little architectural significance. These buildings, produced worldwide, follow standardized plans and materials, lacking distinct external features to reveal their specific purposes.
Schulz's approach involves studying the essence of his craft through these photographs. He employs digital image processing to remove any elements hinting at the buildings' age, location, or surroundings, transforming them into virtual blueprints. By emphasizing colors, shapes, and symmetries, he turns the buildings into block-like structures, resembling toy architecture and presenting them as idealized versions of themselves.
In this process, Schulz blurs the line between photographic and painted reality to optimize the images. Simultaneously, he reduces the physical buildings to their design concepts and the photographic reality to its virtual representation. His intent is to diverge from the typical pursuit of making digital images appear as real as possible. This approach might leave the viewer perplexed, as they struggle to distinguish between authentic elements captured by the camera and those created through digital tools.

The primary concept for the design of the 36 storey, 17.178 m² residential tower is a multi-layered architectural response to the natural landscape inherent to the ‘Garden City’ of Singapore. This landscape concept is integrated into the design by means of four large details: the articulation of the facade, which through its detailing creates various organic textures and patterns; expansive views across the city made possible by large glazed areas, bay windows and double-height balconies; the interior ‘living landscape’ concept adopted for the design of the two apartment types and the introduction of transparency and connectivity to the ground level gardens by means of a raised structure supported by an open framework.

Sunset and twilight images are occasionally acquired by the science team to determine how high into the atmosphere the Martian dust extends, and to look for dust or ice clouds. Other images have shown that the twilight glow remains visible, but increasingly fainter, for up to two hours before sunrise or after sunset. The long Martian twilight (compared to Earth's) is caused by sunlight scattered around to the night side of the planet by abundant high altitude dust. Similar long twilights or extra-colorful sunrises and sunsets sometimes occur on Earth when tiny dust grains that are erupted from powerful volcanoes scatter light high in the atmosphere.

One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world, Hong Kong has an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometer. The majority of its citizens live in flats in high-rise buildings, whose units can house as many as 10,000 people.
In Architecture of Density, Michael investigates these enormous city blocks, finding a mesmerizing abstraction in the buildings’ facades. The structures in the series are photographed without reference to the context of sky or ground, and many buildings are seen in a state of repair or construction: their walls covered with a grid of scaffolding or the soft coloured curtains that protect the streets below from falling debris. From a distance, such elements become a part of an intricate design. Upon closer inspection of each photograph, the anonymous public face of the city is full of rewarding detail – public space is private space, large swatches of colour give way to smaller pieces of people’s lives. The trappings of the people are still visible here: their days inform the detail of these buildings. Bits of laundry and hanging plants pepper the tiny rectangles of windows- the only irregularities in this orderly design. The images of Architecture of Density give one an inkling of what our cities could look like if grown continues unchecked.

the grove pavilion is located at the center of the arced walkway where it briefly touches upon land, between the constantly texture of the water and matured trees. barbeques and public space provide recreational services to visitors within a subdued black structure that frames the colorful surrounding landscape. continuing eastward down the walkway leads to the wilkinson’s point pavilion born from an existing concrete pad built in the mid 20th century as the foundation for an unrealized bridge. the pavilion, a series of intersecting planes exhibiting various degrees of transparency and filtering of views and colors, cantilevers out over the water framing the site and a large open-air pad capable of hosting large scale events. massive concrete walls support a floating canopy containing an expansive red glass wall and a yellow skylight towards the cantilevered portion. the architecture adopts a simple form, poetic and restrained in the landscape, an experience heightened by its relative isolation from any other man-made developments.

Designed by architect Shin Ohori of General Design for Setsumasa and Mami Kobayashi, founders of General Research. Located in the Chichibu mountain range northwest of Tokyo, the site serves as both a personal weekend shelter and a field-testing ground for product development.
The structure is built on an elevated platform using locally harvested larch wood and features removable walls made from fiber-reinforced plastic. It includes two yellow dome tents used as permanent sleeping areas—one placed on a secondary deck and the other on the roof of the main volume. The central enclosed space houses a kitchen and dining area.
The shelter is equipped with electricity, hot water, internet access, and basic amenities, including a clawfoot bathtub. The location is remote but accessible, allowing the Kobayashis to engage in maintenance tasks and outdoor work while still performing professional duties remotely. The architecture is intentionally simple and functional, emphasizing modularity, environmental responsiveness, and a hybrid of modernist design with primitive outdoor living elements.
The project operates as a live-in testing platform for lifestyle and gear integration in a real-world setting, merging domestic space with performance wear prototyping. It represents an approach to architecture and living that prioritizes adaptability, utility, and a direct relationship with the natural environment.

Beach house on Victoria’s coastline organized as two distinct volumes: a private pavilion for sleeping and bathing, and a communal pavilion for cooking, dining, and living. The separation creates a clear distinction between individual and shared activities while maintaining a single architectural identity through a continuous roof structure. Large column-free interiors open directly onto north and west-facing decks, reducing the boundary between interior and exterior space. The structure was prefabricated off-site to minimize construction time, while recycled materials—including reclaimed stadium timber and salvaged jarrah columns—were used throughout. The project reconsiders the Australian beach house typology through a simple, efficient arrangement of space, structure, and material.
