From factories to residential homes and commercial buildings, these seven A+Award-winning projects employ voids in extraordinary new ways and show that absences can speak volumes. This remarkable residence in Rio de Janeiro is a masterful negotiation between architecture and the natural terrain.

An aperture is commonly understood as a window or door, an element offering a controlled connection between interior and exterior in buildings. Simultaneously and more conceptually, an aperture is a frame, threshold, portal, passage, oculus, cleft, chasm, gap, valve or void.

Each iteration in material and fabrication seeks to expand and develop the concept of an aperture. The shift in medium, from paper to plexiglass, prompted the shift from a square aperture-shape to a pentagon-shape. Additionally, the “aperture” no …

building as an organism, challenging how architecture can interface with its users and its environment. The boundary between the human body and architectural object dissolves into an immersive, interactive envi-ronment. The project utilizes digital design and fabri - cation techniques together with synthetic materials and composite construction.

2024年3月14日 · An aperture is the opening in a camera lens that allows light to pass through and onto the film. The size of this opening is one of the most important factors in determining how much light will reach the film, and therefore how much detail will be captured in an image.

2018年4月15日 · Located in Vancouver, Canada, this residential project by Arno Matis Architecture features façade openings that are programmed to provide passive shading, and act like an Aperture: opening and...

Apertures is a physical study exploring the definitions of aperture and ways to frame surroundings through space. In this study, three types of openings are defined: center holes, side holes, and corner holes.

In an effort to see the connections between the way architects and photographers create frames, the following collection is curated with the concept of apertures in mind. The designers behind each of these projects conceive of windows as apertures that capture light throughout the day.

An optical aperture sharpens an image by shrinking its opening to accept only those light rays which are more parallel. This is called collimation. By accepting less light, the resulting image is in finer focus - a case where less is more.
