🏗️MVRDV has received construction permission for “The Island”, a 21-storey residential tower in Taichung, Taiwan. Designed as a vertical landscape, the project brings organic curves, Gaudí-inspired ceramic mosaics, and layered greenery to one of the city’s densest districts.

The tower includes 76 apartments above shared lounges, dining areas, and commercial spaces, with five communal balconies carved into the façade and a rooftop garden forming a green crown. More than 100 private planted balconies and 38 façade planters extend Taichung’s biodiversity upward, creating an urban oasis in a rapidly urbanised neighbourhood.

🌿Sustainability also shapes the project, with materials from the existing on-site building being reused in the new structure, reducing waste and embedding the site’s history into its future.

📌Dubai-based DEOND & ING3D unveil their first full-scale prototype merging advanced 3D-printing with climate-resilient design. The Biophilic Column arrives as a material experiment that doesn’t wait for electricity or mechanical systems to act; its geometry and silica-based composite do the work themselves.

Engineered to capture CO₂ and cool indoor air passively, the column turns mineral microstructure, capillary behaviour, and additive manufacturing into a climate-responsive system. Its surface can also support mosses and air-purifying plants, linking biophilic performance with architectural expression.

Presented at the Dubai Future Solutions exhibition, this is the first public prototype in a growing catalogue of modular elements DEOND and ING3D plan to bring to homes, schools, cultural spaces, and commercial projects. Their roadmap points toward architecture that treats air, heat, and atmosphere as active design inputs, not obstacles.

✨High in the mountains, House of the Rising Sun by Studio Precht unfolds as a three-wing home designed for a growing family across generations. Each wing branches outward like a living organism adapting to its landscape, framing open eastern views while giving every household its own refuge and rhythm. The result feels both sculptural and grounded, a reminder that contemporary architecture can evolve with the people it shelters.

💠 Turquoise Touching the Soul of the Iranian City | AI Concept by Pooriya Zamani.

Where turquoise arches and tiled columns whisper the forgotten dreams of the city, memory and light entwine in poetic harmony.

Tehran’s spirit flows through every glazed surface and every arch that catches the light, an architecture of emotion, not just form. Each structure stands as a vessel of collective memory, where the city breathes through stone and reflection. Experience architecture as a language of soul and texture, a bridge between past and future, art and atmosphere. A city reborn in color, rhythm, and resonance.

🧱Layers of history stack like a quiet timeline in the heart of Fatih.

This unassuming building, now a small celebrity in Istanbul’s urban fabric, reveals the city’s long memory in stone and brick. A Roman cistern anchors the ground, forgotten for centuries beneath shifting earth and earthquakes. Byzantine arches rise above it, carrying the echoes of an imperial marketplace. Higher still, Ottoman gestures and early Republican repairs mark new chapters in the city’s evolution.

What emerges is a living palimpsest: architecture written, rewritten, and never quite erased. It’s a reminder that Istanbul doesn’t simply preserve history, it accumulates it, folds it into everyday life, and lets each era speak through the next.

Tomislav Topic’s Echoverse transforms the gallery at Centre d’art Les 3 CHA into a spatial study of color, rhythm, and repetition. Built from layered lines and shifting perspectives, the installation behaves almost like a three-dimensional diagram, revealing how simple geometric rules can generate complex visual effects.✨

Captured by .studio[IG], these photos highlight the project’s structure and its subtle play between movement, depth, and perception.

📌Mons finally has its station!

After nearly two decades of construction, Santiago Calatrava’s Gare de Mons has opened as a sculptural gateway for the Belgian city, already hailed as one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. The design unfolds as a sweeping concrete and steel structure, where Calatrava’s signature ribs stretch into a vast, light-filled canopy that connects platforms, public spaces, and the city beyond.

The station bridges old and new Mons with a single architectural gesture that feels both infrastructural and almost organismal, transforming mobility into an experience of movement, shadow, and flow. It stands as a reminder that transit hubs can be civic landmarks, not just corridors of transit.

Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects unfolds as a dynamic sculpture, a spherical form facing the city that dissolves into layered terraces overlooking Guangming Park. 🌿

With 128,000 m² of program space, the museum hosts exhibition halls, immersive theaters, labs and innovation hubs, all organized around a grand atrium where galleries emerge and float.

Its dual‑color stainless steel façade using INCO technology, ventilated cavity system and rooftop photovoltaics reflect a deeply integrated sustainability strategy. ✨

Weekend inspiration: digital errors meets craft! ⚡️

Ferruccio Laviani’s Glitch collection reinterprets furniture surfaces as if pixels had shifted. The wooden cabinets appear bent and warped by a digital error, blurring the line between physical craftsmanship and digital aesthetics. ✨ by IG/

🚀Learn at PAACADEMY how to decode complex geometries, refine details, and translate digital imagination into architectural logic, bridging the gap between concept and construction.

Inverse Ruin by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh transforms the remains of the Archaic Temple of Herakleia into a suspended, skeletal silhouette. 🏛️

The intervention preserves the archaeological site while creating a dynamic interplay between form, void, and perception — a contemporary dialogue with the past. ✨

Gardens and terraces blend seamlessly with the structure, turning recovery into a dialogue between nature and architecture.
Reflective textures and soft transitions create a space where care feels sculpted, and design becomes empathy made tangible. A new typology for wellness, built for both animals and the environment.
