Jökulsárlón is a glacial lagoon in Southeast Iceland, located at the edge of Vatnajökull National Park. The lagoon began forming in the 1930s as the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull retreated. It is Iceland's deepest lake, reaching a depth of approximately 284 metres. Icebergs that calve from the glacier drift across the lagoon before reaching the Atlantic Ocean through a short glacial river. The lagoon is also a habitat for seals and numerous seabird species and has been featured in several international films.

Bath-hamams are one of the most prevalent examples of civil architecture in Central Asia, having undergone significant development over the centuries. Since ancient times, swimming pools and bathhouses have been integral to urban planning in the region.
Bukhara, a city at the heart of Central Asia, has been built, destroyed, and rebuilt over two millennia. It began as a Sogdian trading town on the Silk Road, connecting China, Persia, and the Mediterranean. The region later came under the Achaemenid Empire, followed by Hellenistic influence after the campaigns of Alexander the Great, and subsequently the Kushan Empire, during which Bukhara became a crossroads of Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and local faith traditions. After the Kushan Empire declined, Bukhara grew again within the Sogdian trading world, a network of prosperous city-states sustained on Silk Road commerce between China and Persia. The Sogdians, Persian-speaking merchants and diplomats, turned Bukhara into a hub for goods and ideas, maintaining a strong tradition of urban culture and trade.
Excavations during the Soviet period in the 1930s revealed an ancient portal four meters below street level. It took several years to excavate in details and the archeological excavation of the sixteenth-century hammam and its restoration is a marvel of technology and interest in art. Bukhara taught us that heritage conservation is not about freezing a city in time. It is about ensuring its continuity. It is a reminder that, sometimes, the best thing an architect can do is to listen and then step back.
