Can architecture stay relevant over time?

Architecture remains relevant only if it is conceived beyond the moment of construction.
NOTA BENE investigates this through research-led design, where context analysis, social patterns, climate conditions, regulatory frameworks, and long-term use scenarios are examined before form is defined.
Relevance is tested through conceptualisation: exploring how buildings can adapt to changing users, programs, and environmental demands without losing spatial clarity or identity. This includes studying flexibility of layouts, durability of materials, energy performance over time, and the capacity of architecture to absorb transformation rather than resist it.
The response is not stylistic permanence, but structural and spatial resilience. By grounding design decisions in research, technical logic, and real-life use, NOTA BENE develops architecture that can evolve, age with dignity, and continue to serve its purpose long after its initial context has changed.
In this sense, relevance is not maintained by form alone, but by the intelligence embedded in the concept.
