THOUGHTS AND CONCEPTS.
Critical review: Histoire Naturelle de l’Architecture.
Philippe Rahm – Histoire Naturelle de l’Architecture: A Critical Review by AsR-arquitecto.
Philippe Rahm’s Histoire Naturelle de l’Architecture presents an ambitious and sweeping argument:
that architecture is fundamentally a biological and climatic response, shaped by thermodynamics rather than cultural, political, or symbolic intentions. By tracing the history of built environments through energy consumption, climate adaptation, and physiological needs, Rahm proposes that architecture is an extension of our homeothermic nature—a necessity to regulate body temperature in the face of environmental conditions...
An architectural typology for the informal economy – MARKETS.
Rethinking Markets: Architecture for Informal Trade
How can architecture support informal economies while creating dignified public spaces? This project explores vaulted structures as an alternative typology for market design, balancing efficiency, adaptability, and social impact. Through research, modeling, and structural experimentation, I investigated how architecture can foster economic inclusion and urban identity. Explore the full project and process.

About me
As an architect with global experience and a passion for exploring innovative solutions, my journey has taken me across diverse landscapes and cultures. I have contributed to projects that range from local community initiatives to large-scale urban developments, working in regions as varied as South Africa and Palestine.
These experiences, combined with my personal connections to places like Australia, the USA, Belgium, and Cuba, have deeply enriched my perspective on architecture and its role in shaping our world.
I thrive on hands-on work, particularly on-site, where I can bridge technical expertise with real-world application. My skill set includes professional drone piloting, an asset I integrate into my work to capture unique perspectives and enhance project outcomes.
Recently, I have supported the Barcelona municipality with BIM design coordination and completed a Master’s degree at the University of Barcelona, specializing in sustainable certification and design.
Beyond architecture, my commitment to community extends into public service. I had the honor of running as a candidate for Urban Councillor in Menorca, a role that deepened my understanding of urban planning and the needs of the people it serves.
This fusion of architectural expertise, sustainability, and public service shapes my holistic approach to creating spaces that inspire and connect.
