Visions of Architecture is a series that brings together the voices of some of the world’s most important international architects. It is an editorial project created to explore the profound meaning of contemporary architecture by focusing on the vision, experience, and responsibility of those who imagine the world to come.
Together, we have reflected on what it means to design comfort, what role natural materials such as cork can play in creating beauty and sustainability, on whether the Mediterranean can still represent a model for living, and on how important health, beauty, and well-being are in defining a new design language.
What emerged is a collective narrative, rich in ideas, insights, and shared inspirations. A journey through contemporary architectural thought, between tradition and future, matter and vision.
Visions of Architecture. Architecture told by those who experience it as both a daily challenge and a dream to be realized.

Ep.01- Joost Bakker: Can Cork Save the Planet?
Our homes must be like trees: capable of breathing and regenerating the environment.
In this video, we explore the incredible potential of cork as a building material capable of regenerating architecture.
From the traditional extraction process in Sardinia to its application in architectural projects in Australia, we discover why cork is the essence of the circular economy. We analyze how biological architecture can not only insulate our homes but also actively combat desertification, improving health and reducing the unhealthiness of indoor spaces.
It is time to learn from the past in order to design buildings that will last over time.
