'Public Swimming Pool Großfeldsiedlung'
by illiz architektur + Dipl. Ing. Lea Soltau + Dipl. Ing. Bernhard Winkelmayer

→ This architectural tour highlighted the careful renovation and extension of a swimming complex originally built in the 1980s. A pair of bridges links the new 25-meter lap pool hall with the pre-existing structure, creating a landscaped connection between the two volumes. The design team presented the project’s defining feature: a planted steel exoskeleton that encircles the building. Inside, they led us through the six-meter-tall timber hall with expansive full-height glazing, and introduced the upgraded original building, where a lifted roofline enhances both spatial quality and natural light.

'Graça Funicular'
by Atelier Bugio
Lisbon, Portugal

→ The guided tour on the Funicular da Graça invited visitors to reflect on — and physically engage with — aspects of the city that often go unnoticed in everyday life. Architect João Favila Menezes describes how the project was conceived as you make your way up from Rua dos Lagares, walking beneath the structure and continuing toward Graça. Along the route, layers of history and public spaces converge, uncovering subtle connections that might otherwise remain hidden. The visit culminated in a fitting reward: a panoramic view across Lisbon from the Miradouro da Graça.

Here you have some images of the architectural walk.
