What is still worth creating is what cannot be calculated. A building can satisfy every demand of area, light, and energy and still leave the person inside it untouched. People are not only bodies
We believe it is worth creating connections that carry something forward. PIETRA began with the image of stones shaped slowly by time, an observation of nature translated into an object for one of our most
We live in a time when almost anything seems possible. Technology is becoming faster, smarter and increasingly part of our everyday lives. But the more that becomes possible, the more important another question becomes
What really drives us in our practice is dialogue and human interaction. We develop projects in very close dialogue with our clients. We like to create spaces that can easily adapt in
In Cyprus the question is unavoidable. We build fast here, and mostly for the market: towers sold before the foundations are poured, identical villas rotated towards the same sea view, land treated as a product
I believe it is still worth creating objects that establish a genuine relationship with people. In a world already full of products, design should not simply add something new, but offer a reason for
In a world where speed has become the pivot of design, true value lies in slow listening and in detail. Against urban interventions built in haste as the political signature of whoever is in office,
Creating is always worthwhile. To create is to move forward, to question what already exists and to imagine new ways of living, connecting with one another and understanding our surroundings. In architecture, every project
We live in an age when technology can not only meet our needs, but even anticipate them. Yet much of this still operates within concepts and definitions built over generations. I look at the
Buildings with a clear sense of purpose. Anyone can build an expensive house or an impressive winery, but that alone doesn’t make it meaningful. We always try to understand the why behind a project:
Hello, my name is Andreea Ivanescu, I'm from Romania and I'm the head of design department at Bemel. What is still worth creating? For us, schools. Not just in big cities, but
In a time when an algorithm can produce a perfect image in seconds, I believe what is still worth creating is what cannot be generated: a sense of belonging, meaning, and spaces that truly
What is worth creating depends on who is answering the question, and on the social, cultural, and economic context they live in. What may seem like an ending in one society can still be
The history of architecture has always reflected human evolution and how we inhabit spaces - both indoors and outdoors - down to our relationship with individual design objects. As long as designers are called
The In-Between. In architecture, we believe it is no longer about choosing between the ostentation of luxury and the predictable simplicity of the generic. The true value lies on the frontier. It is worth
We believe in creating spaces that embrace human life rather than demanding perfection. In a world increasingly driven by automation and efficiency, we must design places that offer refuge, warmth, and a genuine sense
Architecture stands between the worlds we inherit and futures that have not yet found their form. Civilization takes shape mostly without anyone noticing, in the small decisions of how we live, work,
Márton Pintér is an architect, educator, BIG SEE Nominator, and provocateur. From OMA*AMO to founding VERY GOOD OFFICE and curating the Hungarian Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale, he challenges architectural norms and
“Just enough” can be understood as the point where form, space, and resources stop serving excess and start serving meaning. In the context of contemporary urban and architectural conditions, “enough” is not a fixed
Excess (1), noise (2) and complexity (3) come from our inborn drive towards bioproductivity (1), intra- and inter-species communication (2) and biodiversity (3). But our drive is too often spoiled by our conditioning and
At Ikka Home, our perspective is rooted in a deep understanding of textiles and their evolving role in contemporary interiors. With an updated, research-driven approach to materials, we work fluidly across the spectrum—from mainstream
An architect’s role in any project is identifying the line of what is just enough; this is often linked to budgets, zoning, and client requirements. Though we, as architects, are not the visionaries behind
“Just enough” is the point where something truly works—without excess, but without lack. It’s a balance between need and measure, where nothing is added just because it can be. In architecture, it means creating
Just right, or enough in interior design, is when you satisfy the needs of the space and the client at the same time, when the space allows the user to add something over time if
Simplicity in the logic of the sacred geometry.Beauty like the expression of the Divine.Sustainability in the use of construction and materials.Margareta Spajić, ArchitectStudio GRRR, Croatia This contribution is part of our ongoing survey
Today’s technology allows us to walk around all the cities and towns of our world. Amazed, but also confused, young and future architects reach for someone else’s ideas, neglecting their own. Architecture has always
The answer lies in the traces of the thinking and practice of P. L. Nervi and B. Fuller and derivatives of the thinking of M. McLuhan. But equally, to consider creatively that ornament is
Just enough is when space allows us to breathe and feel at ease, without noise or excess. It is a quiet balance between function, emotion, light, and material. For me, enough in architecture is
When there is noise all around you, you must find peace within yourself. Architecture must be freed from everything that is excessive. It should reflect calmness and simplicity. We are not talking about isolating
