Perched on the edge of an impressive gorge, built with massive walls of local stone, the hotel modernizes the gravity-based system of irrigation that is part of Omani tradition.
In arrangement and materials the white volumes of this hotel which organically colonizes a meadow of holm oaks and olive trees evoke Islamic and vernacular architecture.

The proposal for the extension of the Quinta do Vallado Winery seeks to reconcile the practical needs related to winemaking with a smooth integration in the landscape. The new volumes try in this way to establish an at once tense and balanced long-te
The proposal, located on a sloping site facing the Atlantic Coast, follows the desire to construct two twin dwellings able to fit into the dimensions of the site assigned, avoiding oversized volumes and taking advantage of the optimum orientation, to
Acompact and autonomous piece was built in order to capture at least two things: both the sensation of a natural podium surrounded by vastness and the morbid and unavoidable sight of the foot of the cliffs. The building functions both as a summer hou
The development of the highways in Norway left the vernacular routes that ran along national roads in disuse. This circumstance is common to the rest of Europe, but was especially dramatic in the Nordic country because of the extraordinary landscapes

Half a century after his death, the bibliography on Le Corbusier is truly overwhelming, and in this section we have tried to cover the most significant examples. But the book by Jean-Louis Cohen, which served as catalog for the MoMA exhibition that h
The tabula rasa of modernity was historical, but also topographical. In its effort to raise generic buildings, canonical functionalism decided to erase the traces of the architectural languages of the past, which could be felt as a heavy burden of hi
Either merging with the landscape or in themselves becoming landscapes, topographical buildings suggest altogether new ways of shaping the flows of cities and territories.
From the classical Grand Tour to the contemporary road movie, the journey has always been a route of discovery. Be it a study tour or a random wandering on wheels or rails, moving to other physical, social and cultural geographies is both an educatio
In their particular responses to climate, reinterpretations of local materials, and rapport with the landscape, the hotels featured in this section reflect the genius of place.
