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

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
Matej Kušević
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
Mohammad Kanisavaran
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
Luigi Cafiero
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
Liza Idziorek
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
Unfinished: What Do You Believe Is Still Worth Creating?
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,

“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
Veljko Armano Linta
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
Bernard Maree
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
Marina Marušić
“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
Mateja Logonder
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

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
Zdenko Tonković
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
Irena Miljevic Djosovic
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
Tamara Stefanoska
Architecture finds its purpose not in what it adds to the world, but in what it makes possible within it: shelter, stillness, a sense of arrival. That moment when a space needs nothing more
Noman Khan
In that case, "just enough" might mean designing spaces that balance simplicity with functionality, using strategies like: - Minimalist aesthetics to reduce visual noise - Green spaces for calm and sustainability - Adaptive reuse

It is necessary to do projects from the heart. It is our world and we have maximum responsibility for every wall and for every “empty” and so-called “full” space. So it is enough if we
