Following various studies and polls, a number of players in the US real estate market that focus on offices (CBRE, JLL, and Gallup) agree that managers and operators must offer flexible, amenity-rich offices to support the modern employee commute. Broadly speaking, we are all being called to do more with less space, and for many in the office space world, pods will prove part of the solution. Let’s consider the trends supporting this notion.

The historical local markets of San Lorenzo and Sant'Ambrogio in the centre of Florence, Italy, have been a meeting point for local people for decades; a privileged location from which a sense of community, belonging and sharing has grown. The structure-symbol for local residents and a major tourist attraction, they recently underwent a series of renovation works to update their image and strengthen relations with customers and retailers, with a view to preserving their identity and authenticity. 

United by blood and artistic ties, Roma Drumond, Pedro, and Antonio Tebyriçá—mother, father, and son—present their work in “TRIANGULAR,” which opens on June 6 at 6:00 PM. Their paintings and sculptures will occupy the Galeria Patrícia Costa, with the exhibition curated by Denise Mattar.

Architecture opens up new perspectives, leads the eye across endless expanses and gives a deep sense of absolute freedom. In the Cole Residence, a fantastically situated estate high above Los Angeles, these qualities merge together. A dance transports the audience to another world. 

Conceived by Sky-Frame, a leading international supplier of frameless sliding door systems, the film—directed by Boris Noir—conveys the attitude to life that the brand wants to convey with its products. The architecture of the buildings we live in influences how we perceive our environment, how we move around in it and how we shape it. A view, not a window.

In pool design, one big challenge is to make sure that the pool blends in with the rest of the architecture. If it is being designed from scratch, the materials must meet the necessary design criteria, as well as the technical requirements of areas exposed to the elements and in direct contact with water.

These were the premises that Sebastián Arquitectos took into account in this project for a villa—Casa EA!—, using a single floor tile collection by Gres Aragón. Set in the midst of Litago nature reserve, at the foot of Mount Moncayo in Zaragoza (Spain), the villa blends in beautifully with its surroundings.

After exploring the relationship between architects and clients through the lens of psychoanalysis in Arquitetura no divã, Shirlei Zonis employs the same framework to address an even more sensitive issue: the bond with construction site workers. Although this subject is absent from architecture curricula, it remains a defining aspect of daily practice. Drawing on her field experience and a psychoanalytic perspective, the author shares the stories of these essential—yet often overlooked—partners, highlighting the challenges of this professional encounter and the cultural impasses that affect a group so emblematic of Brazilian society and its inherent inequalities.

The Arquitectura Film Festival Santiago, ArqFilmFest, celebrates its 6th edition inviting filmmakers and creators all over the world to participate in its international competition, with films that establish a relation between cinema and architecture looking for the most diverse point of view.
