Claim Your Design Freedom
It sounds like a dream — the ability to design whatever comes to mind without worrying about the execution. It seems too good to be true and perhaps, in some cases, it is. There are simply too many rules - spoken and unspoken - that architecture and design have to obey. However, in some situations, you can take back your design freedom by utilizing smart solutions that already exist but may be little-known. This is especially true for the architecture and design of doors.

Little is known about the trips Sigurd Lewerentz made to Italy. Among the documents from his estate deposited at the Stockholm Architecture Museum, several boxes contained negatives wrapped in paper that had become brittle with time. These images of Italy barely reveal recognizable locations; instead, they unveil an enigmatic approach to the remains of Antiquity—one focused on details, materials, and textures—that can help us understand the work of the great Swedish architect.

Entering Architectural Practice is a practical and honest guide for architecture students, entering the world of architectural practice.

As both a practising architect and architecture school tutor, the author has first-hand experience of this disconnection and so helps students bridge this divide between academia and practice.

When asked about Vietnamese architectural identity, most people would associate Vietnamese identity with the period before the French colonisation, comprising the traditional architecture of wooden communal houses or imperial palaces.
