How are the big studios organising their work, and what has been the impact of the current situation on smaller architectural practices?

The Kinii, "The falcon’s nest" by the Italian architects of Obicua

Italian architectural studio Obicua recently presented its first project The Kinii, built three thousand metres above sea level at Powder Mountain, near Salt Lake City, a private luxury ski lodge at the biggest ski resort in the United States, measuring about 3500 hectares. The most important feature of Obicua’s project is the focus on reducing the lodge’s environmental footprint by using the strictest LEED sustainable building protocols.
