C3 is a premium architecture magazine internationally recognized for its depth of critical insight and visual excellence. As the only Korean architecture publication widely read in global cities such as New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo, C3 documents contemporary architecture through a sharp and discerning lens.
C3 no.444 (2026-Jul/Aug)
This issue of C3 explores architecture at the threshold between nature and the body, the human and the non-human, and sensation and ecology. Across mountains and cities, forests and water, music and dwelling, architecture is no longer presented as a neutral backdrop for human activity. Instead, it becomes a medium for renewing bodily perception and imagining new forms of coexistence beyond human-centered conventions.
In the New Projects section, two works demonstrate how architecture can transform care and culture into spatial experience. Cino Zucchi Architetti’s care home in Riva del Garda establishes a welcoming environment beneath the foothills of the Alps, while O’Donnell + Tuomey’s V&A East Museum unfolds as a sculptural promenade, connecting exhibition, structure, movement, and city.
“Shells of Sensation” examines three projects that approach architecture as a sensory membrane between the body and the natural world. Agit Studio’s At.mos.phere, Todot Architects’ Studio Zera, and 100A associates’ Mugok each mediate experiences of music, forest, and contemplation, expanding the act of staying into the realms of sensation and imagination.
The special feature “TAKK: Architecture after the Human Center” presents the work of Barcelona- and New York-based studio TAKK, led by Mireia Luzárraga and Alejandro Muiño. Moving beyond anthropocentric assumptions, their projects engage climate, animals, plants, materials, energy, and political imagination as interconnected participants in architectural space. Through Pedro Ferreira’s essay, an in-depth interview, and more than twenty projects, this issue explores TAKK’s playful yet radical vision of collective coexistence.
New Projects
This section explores how architecture responds to context through two distinct programs: care and culture. Cino Zucchi Architetti’s care home transforms an institutional typology into a welcoming place of everyday life embedded within the landscape. O’Donnell + Tuomey’s V&A East Museum reimagines the museum as a carefully tailored architectural promenade, linking circulation, exhibition, structure, and city. Both projects demonstrate how architecture can welcome bodies, guide movement, and create meaningful relationships with place.
Shells of Sensation
Rather than treating nature as an image to be consumed, these projects explore architecture as a sensory threshold through which the body reconnects with the world. At.mos.phere creates a resonant relationship between music, landscape, timber, and concrete. Studio Zera employs reflection and void to dissolve itself into a cedar forest, while Mugok uses tactile materials and carefully choreographed paths to slow perception and deepen awareness. Together, these works transform temporary stays into experiences of imagination, memory, and renewed sensation.
TAKK: Architecture after the Human Center
TAKK’s work challenges the assumption that architecture exists primarily for human needs alone. In the work of Mireia Luzárraga and Alejandro Muiño, climate, bodies, animals, plants, materials, economies, technologies, rituals, and political imagination become active participants in the production of space.
Centered on Pedro Ferreira’s essay and an interview with Mireia Luzárraga, this feature presents a wide range of TAKK’s experiments. 10K House and The Day After House reorganize domestic life around temperature, energy, budget, and gender, while Water Parliaments and Cat Shelter bring water and animals into architecture as active subjects. Projects such as The Garden for Romantic Crossovers, Discotecture, Roma’s Bedroom, the Second Solar Biennale, and Con-Vivere communicate ecological questions through tactile, playful, and seductive forms. TAKK’s architecture is less concerned with producing finished objects than with imagining the conditions for living together with other beings.
