Great architecture doesn’t have to come with a big price tag. At Peacock Architects, we believe the most meaningful projects are those that balance creativity, function, and affordability — delivering beauty without excess. Our work on the Sugar Sand Park pavilion proved just that. By making smart design trade-offs, we created a striking, lasting space at nearly the same budget as a “safe” standard option. The lesson? With intentional choices and creative problem-solving, architecture can inspire communities without overspending. Read the full blog post below. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eZdPs5PX

What if architecture and economy collide? Architecture, besides buildings, is also an economic force. From global icons like the Eiffel Tower to the simple charm of cobblestone streets in Europe, design shapes how people move, gather, and spend. This is archinomic : when architecture drives value, identity, and sustainable growth. #architecture #economy #building #sustainable

2026 Trends in Design Are Already Here The future of architecture isn’t years away—it’s quietly unfolding around us. Designers are rethinking how we live, work, and connect, and the shifts are bigger than most people realize. We’re already seeing the early signs: spaces that blur the line between nature and technology, materials that feel almost futuristic, and buildings that adapt in ways we never imagined. What’s coming next will redefine not just design, but the way we experience daily life. Worth a look: https://lnkd.in/eVjKeK6f

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗮: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 We kick off the first installment of 'Expert Takeover,' a brief video series where experts talk about their favourite building materials. Architect and co-founder of nikolova/aarsø Architects, Alexandra Nikolova, shares how expanded cork elevates architectural design, from its thermal and acoustic performance to its circularity and human-centred appeal. The studio tackles architecture differently, choosing exclusively bio-based and recyclable materials to reshape our built environments. It is no coincidence that their motto is "never boring / always biobased"

What is 'Architecture' without 'Research'? It’s easy to think architecture is just about drawing plans or making beautiful buildings. But behind every great design lies investigation, questioning, and discovery. ✨ Research is what transforms a sketch into a solution. It studies how people live, move, and heal. It asks how materials age, adapt, and sustain. It challenges us to design for the future, not just the present. Without research, architecture is decoration. With research, architecture becomes a living response to human life. So the next time you walk into a building that feels just right, remember: it wasn’t luck. It was research made visible. #architecture #architecturalResearch #ArchitectCorner

Every project is an opportunity to imagine better spaces. For this institutional building competition, our team at Design Horizons envisioned a design that is contemporary, modern, and responsive—a place where architecture meets aspiration. Here’s a walkthrough of our proposal. #Architecture #InstitutionalBuilding #DesignHorizons #Walkthrough

Every design begins with a question: How can we create something that is both meaningful today and sustainable for the future? Our work is shaped by three guiding principles: Sustainability - designing with materials, methods, and systems that minimise environmental impact. Functionality - spaces must serve their purpose beautifully and efficiently. Context - architecture should respond to its surroundings, respecting both the landscape and the local culture. This combination ensures our projects feel rooted in place, while meeting the needs of the people who use them. We see architecture not as an isolated object, but as part of a wider story. #sustainabledesign #architecturalinnovation #architecture #designwithpurpose

GRUPO LAÇOS, Paula Amorim, Pedro Tavares ARCHITECTURE — SHAPING SPACE, SYMBOLIZING VALUES Corporate architecture is more than a functional container: it is the material expression of organizational identity. Buildings communicate stability, openness, innovation, and ambition. They create atmospheres that influence how people relate, collaborate, and imagine their place within a system. Psychoanalysis enriches this perspective by showing that form is never neutral. Every structure embodies unconscious values, desires, and narratives about what an organization believes itself to be. Glass façades may symbolize transparency, open layouts may evoke collaboration, and monumental lobbies may convey grandeur. These choices shape not only the physical experience of work, but also the symbolic experience of belonging. When architecture is designed solely as a display of control, it can lose this relational quality. But when it integrates aesthetic, functional, and human dimensions, space becomes a living interface — a symbolic framework that holds difference, dialogue, and creativity. Convergence: Psychoanalysis helps organizations see architecture not just as infrastructure but as a stage where collective meaning is continuously produced. When buildings are designed to embrace movement, interaction, and diversity, they cease to be monuments to stability and become environments that nurture imagination, collaboration, and symbolic continuity. 🔹 #Psychoanalysis #CorporateCulture #Architecture #Innovation #OrganizationalDesign #Leadership #SymbolicSpace #LógicasDoContemporâneo
