Fazer uma Casa / Making a Home

Making a house is no easy matter: you need to start at the beginning, stay the course and make it to the end. It takes determination and a certain amount of optimism. Initially, the goal seems so easy to achieve, so close that you can already see yourself walking around inside the house. However, it's never easy, nothing ever goes according to plan and, in the end, it takes much longer than you expect.
That's the period that this book covers, the time spent thinking about a project, meditating on it, designing, discussing, building and supervising; all done as a team, bringing client, architect, site manager and builder together in a common goal. Telling this story is both documenting a journey and reflecting on it, a moment in time that in many ways is identical to so many other projects and so many other people. It's a shared experience that is worth passing on to others and remembering.
In this particular case, how the journey progressed and how certain ideas were arrived at is the most interesting thing to relate. Through this description, which combines various materials and contents, we can understand the project in its various dimensions, both in its more practical and technical aspects, as well as in its social and human components. Not everything is immediately visible; we need to understand how we got there, study the process. Understanding this opens up a great opportunity for us, as architecture lovers, so that it becomes legible and capable of surprising us.

Buildner’s Museum of Emotions Competition Results: Architecture That Speaks Without Words

 | Sponsored Content

Buildner has announced the results of its Museum of Emotions Competition Edition 6.

The Museum of Emotions is an annual international design competition that tasks participants with exploring the extent to which architecture can be used as a tool to evoke emotion. The brief calls for the design of a conceptual museum with two exhibition halls: one designed to induce negative emotions; the other designed to induce positive emotions. Participants are free to choose any site of their liking, real or imaginary, as well as choose the scale of the project. The meaning of 'positive' and 'negative' is up for interpretation: What two emotions might a designer consider contrasting? How might an architect conceive spaces which elicit fear, anger, anxiety, love or happiness?

The Museum of Emotions is a 'silent' competition: that is, participants must communicate ideas without text, and must use imagery alone. No form of text, whether design descriptions, annotations or even diagrammatic labels, is permitted.

The Future of Urban Development in Mongolia: Insights from the Hunnu City Design Competition

 | Sponsored Content

Mongolia, the world's second-largest landlocked country, spans 1.5 million square kilometers. Yet, over 50% of its population—approximately 1.7 million people—reside in Ulaanbaatar, a city that occupies just 0.3% of the nation's total land area. This disproportionate population concentration has led to significant regional development imbalances and mounting urban challenges in the capital.

In response to these issues, Ulaanbaatar has undergone a series of comprehensive urban development initiatives. Since the first master plan was introduced in 1954, six such plans have been created. The latest, the Ulaanbaatar 2040 Master Plan, includes a strategic vision to decentralize urban growth through the development of two new satellite cities—one of which is the Hunnu City project.

Participants are challenged to design spatial interventions that enable resistance and adaptation to predictable threats related to political shifts, social transformations and climate change, among other concerns. This competition asks students to think beyond conventional design methods, using time as a design strategy to catalyse resilient future.
This single-stage student ideas competition is organised and conducted in accordance with the UNESCO Standard Regulations for International Competitions in Architecture and Town planning and the UIA best practice recommendations. The competition brief has been developed by the UIA2026BCN Curatorial Team and organised by the Higher Council of the Orders of Architects of Spain (CSCAE) and the Architect's Association of Catalonia (COAC).
