Shared across Dezeen’s social channels, Ferrari-Mathis recently created short films featuring both iconic architecture and hidden gems, such as La F\u00e1brica\u00a0and Dragonhill Residence by Jacques Cou\u00eblle.<\/p>\n

The films are part of a collaboration with Nino Ferrari-Mathis that aims to bring Dezeen’s audiences the best of architecture around the world.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/p>\n

Crystal Bridges Museum by Safdie Architects
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In September 2025, Nino Ferrari-Mathis visited the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art<\/a>, designed by Safdie Architects<\/a>, meeting with Safdie himself to learn about the museum<\/a> and its new expansion. <\/span><\/p>\n

The museum in Bentonville, Arkansas<\/a>, is set to be increased by 50 per cent to accommodate two new galleries connected by a bridge<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This was unlike any other museum I have visited before,” Ferrari-Mathis told Dezeen.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Safdie completely reimagines the <\/span>gallery spaces and traditional circulation of an institution, creating an experience where art, architecture, and nature are woven into one.”<\/p>\n

La F\u00e1brica by Ricardo Bofill<\/strong><\/p>\n

In October 2025, Ferrari-Mathis travelled to Barcelona<\/a>, Spain, to see La F\u00e1brica by Bofill, a complex including the RBTA offices and Bofill’s family home.<\/p>\n

Built within a dilapidated cement factory, Bofill’s renovation celebrates the original concrete details of the factory whilst adding in green roofs<\/a> and lush gardens.<\/p>\n

“Moving through old silos<\/a>, staircases\u00a0and carved concrete rooms, you really feel that nothing was erased, but only transformed,” Ferrari-Mathis recalled.<\/p>\n

“The colour-coded rooms were my favourite part, as they showed how much thought the Bofill practice places on atmosphere and palette.”<\/p>\n

Piscina das Mar\u00e9s by \u00c1lvaro Siza
\n<\/strong>
\nIn Autumn, Ferrari-Mathis journeyed to Porto<\/a>, Portugal with Bologna-based design college, Yacademy<\/a> to visit the Piscina das Mar\u00e9s created by Siza in 1966.<\/p>\n

Built into the rocky coastline, the public saltwater tidal pool<\/a> became a national monument in 2011.<\/p>\n

“Piscina das Mar\u00e9s is one of the greatest examples of how an architect can quietly enhance <\/span>landscape through architecture,” Ferrari-Mathis reflected.<\/p>\n

“Siza balances concrete forms against the landscape with incredible precision, letting the water, wind, and stone shape the experience.”<\/p>\n

Dragonhill Residence by Jacques Cou\u00eblle
\n<\/strong>
\nOn a recent trip to France<\/a>, Ferrari-Mathis visited Dragonhill Residence designed by Jacques Cou\u00eblle, in Mouans-Sartoux \u2013 between Cannes and Mougins. Designed in 1964, the sculptural villa\u00a0is now owned by two London<\/a> gallerists, Joe Kennedy and Jonny Burt, who host artist residencies on site.<\/p>\n

“Discovering the Dragonhill Residence felt like stumbling into a fairytale,” said Ferrari-Mathis. “Cou\u00eblle transforms traditional materials into organic forms that flow within the landscape.”<\/p>\n

“His designs feel playful, sculptural, and utterly unique,” he continued. “Finding a hidden gem like this, rarely documented, and being able to share it with design lovers is exactly what makes this series with Dezeen so special to me.”<\/p>\n
