Dominique Frelaut School Group by Tectoniques >> https://www.detail.de/de_en/dominique-frelaut-school-group-von-tectoniques

Northwest of Paris, a new urban quarter is taking shape on a former Ericsson industrial site – and at its heart sits a school by Tectoniques that grows upward across five staggered storeys. Instead of spreading out, the building climbs: each floor trades two classrooms for a terrace, building up into a network of roof gardens connected by staircases down to a lush courtyard. The terracotta facade echoes the region's traditional brick buildings.

The ensemble consisting of three building volumes harmonises with the rural surroundings in the foothills of the Julian Alps. Its deeply drawn pitched roofs and timber roof structures are reminiscent of traditional Slovenian farmhouses and barns. The architect team – a cooperation between the Slovenian Studio Arrea and the Spanish office KAL A – created childproof spaces open for exploration and discovery...

Federal University of Public Administration by Sauerbruch Hutton in Rostock >> https://www.detail.de/de_en/zoll-ist-toll-1000-module-in-der-plattenbausiedlung

In Rostock-Lichtenhagen, a new campus for Germany's future customs officers has been completed. Two zigzagging residential blocks are built from 600 identical prefabricated timber modules, with only 24 special modules needed to accommodate the irregular floor plan. How do you solve fire safety when trucks can't even reach the courtyard? The architects found an unconventional answer…

Module Operandi

Modular construction keeps sites clean, on schedule and efficient — but can it also be genuinely ambitious, bespoke and flexible? For Sauerbruch Hutton, modular building means running two construction sites in parallel: one on site, one in the factory.

From a Barcelona high-rise in concrete modules to a homeless shelter in Munich built from pure repetition, five projects show how far the logic of the module can be pushed…

KUUB School Centre in Antwerp by Compagnie-O Architects >> https://www.detail.de/de_en/schulzentrum-kuub-in-antwerpen-von-compagnie-o-architects

Spanning five storeys, KUUB’s concrete cube offers residents of the new Nieuw-Zuid district in Antwerp a wide range of play and sports areas. The building's opening in autumn 2025 marked the end of a five-year construction phase that had begun tragically. The unassuming main entrance leads into the building at the corner. The ground floor and the two upper levels are open to the whole neighbourhood, whilst the first and second floors are shared by two schools...
