How do you like this window? It was carved like a palace. This is an 1872 drawing of a window from a private mansion in Paris, at 5 Rue Blanche, designed by an architect named Lavenant. The house is still there today, but the window was probably on the courtyard side, so you may not be able to see it from Google Street View.

Drawn in 1902, this is a house in the second villa colony at Pasing, near Munich, Germany. These were leafy garden suburbs, laid out around 1900. They drew artists, who built homes with a studio, the "Atelier" marked on the plan. The district is protected today, but some of its old houses are gone. Does anyone know whether this one still stands?
What if architecture evolved more like nature, adapting, collaborating, and growing instead of following fixed systems?
As botany offers new ways of thinking about resilience and design, what could architects learn from the intelligence of plants?

Published in 1872, this is a design for a porte-cochère, the carriage entrance, at 114 Boulevard Magenta in Paris, France, by the architect E. Sévestre. The boulevard was one of the new streets cut through Paris under Haussmann, and a carved door like this, opening to an inner courtyard, marked the apartment houses that lined them. The carved stone frame still seems to be there today, but the wooden doors themselves are gone.
Drawn around 1900, this is the New York City mansion of the banker Edmund C. Converse, at 3 East 78th Street, designed by C. P. H. Gilbert in French Gothic style. It still stands today, on a block of Gilded Age mansions that survives largely intact.

Aino and Alvar Aalto's Paimio Sanatorium is a recognized example of modern architecture for healing, representing a patient-centered approach to hygienism that treated the building itself as a medical instrument.
Built between 1929 and 1933, it was designed as a nature-oriented tuberculosis sanatorium, later used as a hospital, and today operates as a tourist attraction.

In architecture competitions, a clear idea often matters more than polished presentation, with the strongest concepts leaving the most lasting impression.
