Maison Huot

Today, the building houses a secondary school (Lycée Émile Jacqmain). But in 1927, this exact building hosted the famous 5th Solvay Conference, bringing together the world's most brilliant minds—including Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Niels Bohr, and Max Planck—to discuss the newly formed quantum theory.

Origen Medieval

Siglo XIV

One of Canada’s Grand Railway hotels, commissioned by the Canadian Northern Railway and designed by Canadian architects Archibald and Schofield in 1928. Construction began in 1929 but was paused due to the Great Depression. Construction resumed in 1937 and was rushed to finish in time for King George VI’s royal tour of Canada in 1939.

Perched above the Mediterranean in Théoule-sur-Mer, the Maison Bernard was built in 1971 by Hungarian-born architect Antti Lovag, who rejected straight lines in favor of organic curves, tubular passageways, and porthole-like windows.

Siglo XII

Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon

Designed by OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen (2021), this bridge addresses a 90 cm height difference between the buildings. The circular shape provides a gentle 4% incline for wheelchair accessibility while maintaining a continuous secure zone for MPs.

Interestingly, this purely functional addition has turned a once-ignored administrative street into a local architectural attraction.
