Architecture has a unique way of influencing the human experience, guiding the gaze, or shaping moments.
Through the Village section, we explore architecture, design, and urban planning as levers of transformation for a more sustainable habitat, more connected to nature, and deeply rooted in the community. Whether rethinking our backyards, reinventing the public library, or revitalizing a coastline, these collective projects are shaping a future where architecture becomes a tool for social cohesion and environmental innovation.
In this issue, we explore the art of the moment, death, nature, and relationships that wither or transform. We question these notions through stories in which the impermanence of everything around us becomes a source of reflection on how we live, create, and engage in a constantly changing world.
The BESIDE Collection brings together simple, lasting pieces rooted in the natural world. An invitation to live more intentionally — with beauty, purpose, and a deeper connection to what surrounds us.
