The Architect's Sketchbook
Architecture through the lens of comfort, climate, and human experience.
New Issue every Thursday. Live sessions sundays @ 21:30 C.E.T
Architecture began as protection from climate. Culture was expressed through the use of ornament.
Today, we have flipped the script. We design icons first and treat sustainability as the new ornament.
I believe comfort, climate, and design are inseparable.
This newsletter explores architecture from that perspective.
About
Pedro Augspach is an architect based in Belgium focused on sustainable architecture through the lens of comfort, climate, daylight, and human experience.
He studied architecture at the Universidad de Buenos Aires and completed a Master’s in Sustainable Environmental Design at the Architectural Association in London.
His work explores how buildings perform in heat, light, time, and space. Through essays, drawings, videos, and built work, he argues that sustainability should emerge from comfort rather than technology, systems, or certification.
What you get
The Sketch
Architecture through spatial analysis.
Each issue begins with one or 2 projects:
a house, a section, an environmental idea.
The Thought
The larger argument behind the architecture.
Comfort, climate, adaptation, and the spatial intelligence modern housing has forgotten.
The Work
Where these ideas collide with reality.
Practice, clients, regulations, budgets, construction, and the friction of actually building.
