An Urban Cube House in Hungary and a Port of Culture in Ukraine: 10 Unbuilt Projects Submitted to ArchDaily

Along with several other imperative factors, the success of an architectural project relies heavily on how it is communicated to its users and builders. Most architects opt for realistic computer generated renders to showcase their projects, while others choose to explore different techniques, translating their architectural narratives through photo collages, sketches, animation, hyper-realistic miniature models, walkthroughs, diagrams, and occasionally, script. 

This week’s curated selection of Best Unbuilt Architecture highlights projects submitted by the ArchDaily community that are presented through different media. From a hand-drawn sketch of a coastal redevelopment in Norway to an abstract composition of photography and architectural drawings in Poland, this round up of unbuilt projects showcases diverse architectural typologies and their unique visualizations. The article also includes projects from the Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan.

Camp(l)us is a conceptual pedestrian bridge which makes university grounds more inclusive to outsiders by offering itself as a documentation space for activism. While the idea of who is inherently a part of a university campus and who is not, a programmatic and physical pedestrian-scale intervention seeks to bridge the two dedicating its architectural surfaces to that of positive defacement, including painting, tagging, knitting, and altering. This bridge ultimately belongs to no one, but invites the larger city community to participate in the university community.

Grafit Műterem architecture studio proposes two variations on the renovation of Hungarian Cube Houses, a significant heritage of socialist architecture. The Rural Cube type plan draws inspiration from the traditional house and plot attributes and focuses on connecting with the garden, while the Urban Cube proposes a significant internal and external rethinking, resulting in a contemporary, high-end solution. After submission to an open call, the urban type plan was purchased for the National Type Plan Catalogues of Hungary.

The ‘Alternate Realities | AR 2022’ is an international architecture design competition organized by Charette. Through this competition, we intend to spark a conversation regarding issues plaguing the world through design dialogue. The participants explored a wide range of possible scenarios for the future aiming to send warning signs to the world against climate change. Some architectural visions painted a riveting picture of the post-apocalyptic world where the human species have been wiped off of the face of the earth while others presented a hopeful future where humans have evolved to adapt to the changing climate.
