On a recent Saturday afternoon brimming with spring fever, a line of people, young and old, snaked down Manhattan’s Orchard Street and into Galerie Perrotin—a new contemporary-art space housed within a late 19th-century industrial building. The occasion was the opening of Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami’s latest show—Perrotin’s most extensive since its inception in April 2017. The fan-frenzied event, which filled out the expertly lit space’s three levels, was a christening of sorts, and the architects of the gallery, Miriam Peterson and Nathan Rich of @peterson_rich_office, were the proud parents. “We’ve done cool projects before,” said Rich, “but nothing that 500 people have walked through in a day.” Read more about this #AR_DesignVanguard winner at http://ow.ly/h1ab30kPLWn Text by @alex_klimo Photo © Guillaume Ziccarelli … .. . .. ... #newyorkcity #artgallery #architecture #architecturephotography #archidaily #buildings #pocket_architecture #ig_architecture #archilovers (at New York, New York)

The philosophy underpinning much of @civicarchitects' work is that the role of technology is not to lead but to support the advancement of materials or experiences. In this way, the firm aims to weave together architecture with public value and cultural heritage with the logistics of urban life. Civic prefers to seek out project types it hasn’t tackled before. “We play public-buildings bingo,” jokes Lebbink. In this way, the firm may never find its comfort zone, but it can always find a new frontier. Collaborating with another firm, Bright, Civic designed this Miesian pavilion on the central pier in Tilburg's old harbor to serve as a public viewing platform, gathering place for recreational boaters, and restaurant.

The philosophy underpinning much of @civicarchitects' work is that the role of technology is not to lead but to support the advancement of materials or experiences. In this way, the firm aims to weave together architecture with public value and cultural heritage with the logistics of urban life. Civic brings community-mindedness to its operation as a practice too. The firm transformed a nondescript H-shaped postwar school building in Amsterdam into a highly detailed mosque, with changing brick textures along the facades, and courtyards that are securely enclosed on one side by high stone entrances and loosely enclosed on the other by low hedges.

To hear @edward_ogosta_architecture tell it, once a strong concept is in place, a project practically designs itself. “It’s simple,” he says, about the innovative Southern California residences and workplaces he has built since founding Edward Ogosta Architecture in 2011. “We try to do the most with the least number of moves. That leads to clear and elegant solutions.” For the Corner Pocket House, located on a noisy intersection in Manhattan Beach, California, this transformation of a cramped 1950s bungalow "actually designed itself," according to Ogosta. The plan is a straight shot from the front patio to a giant tree in the backyard, the rooms "all lined up to clearly create a connection from inside to out."

Architects Wael Al Awar and Kenichi Teramoto, principals of Dubai-based @ibdadesign.architects, met in Tokyo in 2004, when both were working for C+A, a small firm known for residential and educational projects. The improbability of their collaboration, and eventual location, is what makes ibda’s work unique. “There’s a heightened sensitivity in our designs to different cultures and contexts,” says Al Awar. Their approach is reflected in their process, which begins with a careful consideration of natural phenomena like daylight, the skilled labor and materials available, and historical building typologies. In this mixed-use office complex, the architects offer a contemporary spin on traditional elements: they fashioned hollow vertical structures out of shipping containers to funnel strong desert winds downward into landscaped meeting areas and walkways, like the wind towers that once dominated Dubai's skyline.

Together, the 35-year-old founder of @cheremarquitectos, Abraham Cherem, and partner Antonio Aguilar, 38, have built an impressive body of work that is characterized by constant investigation. One example is a large residential compound in San Miguel de Allende that includes a main house, guest quarters, and a caretaker’s house. They used rammed earth, selecting it, in part, because the resulting layered walls would provide a human scale for the sprawling complex.

@wutopialab_sh revels in the diversity found in the city and approaches architecture as a “study of complex systems.” This process of “antithesis” design resembles the way the Chinese language places different ideograms together, creating poetic juxtapositions that are often hard to translate. “Antithesis is all about relationships,” explains one of the two founders Yu Ting. You can see this strategy at work in many of Wutopia Lab’s projects. For instance, in this daycare, led by founder Min Erni, the architects designed it with the scale of a child in mind, making it flexible enough to allow each kid's imagination to determine the space's function.
