The glass entrance of a store with an automatic door, showing two people entering and one person exiting, along with the airflow and smart door functionality, exemplifies advanced systems in smart buildings.

How Entrance Systems Are Becoming the Hidden Infrastructure of Smart Buildings

Automatic doors and entrance systems, beyond their simple open-and-close function, have become the hidden infrastructure of smart buildings. By connecting to digital networks and sensors, these systems optimize energy efficiency, make building operations more sustainable, and enhance the user experience, all without being visible.

Beyond Transforming Structures: Creating New Atmospheres in Preexisting Architecture

The revitalization of abandoned spaces—when it goes beyond mere repurposing—can lead to the creation of human-centered and inspiring environments. Projects like Impluvium, El Tanque, and Café Dabang demonstrate that through the intelligent use of light, nature, materials, and simplicity, worn-out structures can be transformed into spaces for reflection, tranquility, and renewed life—a process that transforms not only architecture but also the experience of living itself.

Designing with Humidity: How Architecture Adapts to the World’s Dampest Climates

In humid climates, architecture must adapt to moisture rather than resist it. Traditional design in tropical regions has responded to climatic needs through the use of local materials, natural ventilation, pitched roofs, and elevated structures. Modern architecture, by integrating these approaches with innovations such as floating foundations, dynamic façades, breathing windows, and green roofs, offers sustainable solutions for moisture control, ventilation, and thermal comfort. As a result, climate-conscious design not only reduces energy consumption but also enhances the quality of life in hot and humid regions.

Urban Sanctuaries: Creating Peaceful Homes Amidst City Chaos

Amid the hustle and stress of urban life, interior design can transform a house into a true sanctuary. This article introduces five key strategies for creating calming spaces: using soft lighting and soothing colors to evoke a sense of coziness; incorporating sound insulation to counter city noise; strengthening emotional connection to the home through personalized design; employing natural scents and textures to enhance sensory experiences; and paying special attention to the entrance as a threshold between the outside world and inner peace. These design principles help foster a sense of belonging, security, and well-being in urban residential environments.

Biophilic Architecture without Plants: Invisible Design for Wellbeing

Biophilic architecture, even without the use of plants, enhances human psychological and physiological well-being by focusing on invisible principles such as prospect, refuge, mystery, and risk. Rooted in our evolutionary connection to nature, this approach relies on intelligent spatial design to reduce stress, improve focus, and strengthen spatial belonging — even in environments that lack actual natural elements.
