🎨When Architecture Starts to Daydream

Based in Milan, Robin Yayla reimagines cities by merging photography with whimsical illustration. His work transforms global landmarks into unexpected scenes, the Eiffel Tower becomes a zipper, the Colosseum turns into a Vespa, encouraging viewers to rediscover the hidden beauty of the everyday.

Through a blend of travel-inspired imagery and vibrant digital strokes, Yayla’s art invites us to see the familiar with new eyes, celebrating joy, curiosity, and the playful side of urban life.

Fashioned in Glass!

🛖Frank Gehry’s Fondation Louis Vuitton, completed in 2014, unfurls like a fleet of glass sails in Paris’s Bois de Boulogne. The building’s fluid, billowing forms merge art, engineering, and fashion into one architectural icon.

🍂 ALELUYA, A Pavilion of Leaves

In the highlands of Boyacá, Colombia, architect Ricardo Díaz designed ALELUYA as a ceremonial pavilion for Hotel Boutique Bella Tierra. Built with bamboo vaults, handmade brick, copper, and reclaimed wood, its five leaf-shaped canopies shimmer like a prayer to nature. Rooted in ancestral techniques yet open to the sky, ALELUYA is less a building than an atmosphere, a space where rituals, music, and silence unfold in harmony with the earth.

✈️Designed by Foster + Partners, Queen Alia International Airport reflects regional identity while prioritizing environmental efficiency. Its modular concrete domes, inspired by desert palms, provide shade and enable future expansion. Geometric patterns on the soffits draw from traditional Islamic motifs.

The fully glazed terminal enhances orientation, while open-air courtyards improve air quality. Spanning 116,000 m², the airport accommodates 16 million passengers annually.

Which one seems better? Render vs. Reality: The Vessel 🐝

The Vessel, esigned by Thomas Heatherwick, this audacious honeycomb of staircases rises 150 feet in Hudson Yards’ Public Square, offering 2,500 steps, 154 flights, and 80 landings that invite visitors to climb through a sculptural labyrinth of views and vantage points. Inspired by India’s stepwells and conceived as a 365-day “Christmas tree” of New York City, the structure was imagined as both landmark and collective experience.

🦐 Big Red Crayfish by Dayi Design (2024) revitalizes a 300-year-old residence along Nanjing’s Qinhuai River into a 2,500 sqm dining and commercial complex.

Blending traditional Chinese architecture with modern materials, it features a red steel staircase symbolizing a “guardian dragon” that links four courtyards and provides fire safety and access.

The project employs reclaimed materials and dynamic LED lighting to boost sustainability and atmosphere. It honors cultural heritage while supporting the local community and economy.

✨Våga Water Tower in Varberg, Sweden, designed by White Arkitekter and completed in 2024, serves as a new landmark that replaces the old water tower with enhanced capacity. Located on Bastekullen hill in Träslöv, the tower symbolizes the significance of water to the city.

Its wave-shaped design stretches 187 meters in length and 9 meters in width, supported by nine pillars, including a uniquely shaped central pillar housing an elevator and staircase. The concave facade interacts with light and shadow, creating dynamic visual effects that change with the time of day and viewing angle. The site was carefully designed to maintain a natural appearance, preserving a plateau as a recreational space with views of the sea. In collaboration with Varberg’s municipal ecologist, wildflowers were planted beneath the tower, and the service road was transformed into a green gravel path.
