From homes made from steel and rammed earth in the Texas deserts to prototypes for 3D-printed housing, we have rounded up 10 projects from Lake Flato Architects, whose founders won this year's AIA Gold Medal.
The Texas-based studio is known for its residential and educational buildings, from massive pavilions that integrate rainwater collection systems and tower lake houses.
The AIA jury cited Lake Flato Architects' work as having raised the "collective consciousness surrounding our climate crisis".
Lake and Flato met at the office of American architect O'Neil Ford in the late 1970s and formed their studio in 1984. Since then, they have developed projects of different scales all over the country, with a continued emphasis on the particular climate and needs of Texas. Read on for 10 key projects by Lake Flato Architects.

Josey Pavilion is a 5,400-square-foot (502 square metres) open-air pavilion that serves as visitor centre and educational facility for the environmental group Dixon Water Foundation.
The wood for the open-air structure was locally sourced and all of the exposed framing and siding is reclaimed pine. The structure is solar-powered and has a series of chains that collect rainwater and channel it to reclamation systems, which is managed on-site.
