BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group Wins International Competition to Design the New Hamburg State Opera 🌊

Selected by a unanimous jury, the project reimagines the Baakenhöft peninsula as a terraced cultural landscape where performance, public space, and the harbor meet. The 45,000-square-meter opera house will host the Hamburg State Opera and Hamburg Ballet, replacing the 1950s venue with a contemporary home built for today’s acoustic, spatial, and technical demands.

BIG’s proposal unfolds as a circular topography of concentric terraces, like soundwaves radiating from a musical core, forming a three-dimensional public park open from every side. Visitors can move along roof paths, cross elevated gardens, and enter the building through multiple approaches: from the quay, the park, or the new opera street.

The new Hamburg State Opera stands between Elbturm and the Elbphilharmonie as HafenCity’s next cultural anchor, an architectural landscape where city, harbor, and the performing arts converge.

The Grand Mulberry | by Morris Adjmi Architects 🧱

A new landmark in Manhattan’s Little Italy, The Grand Mulberry reinterprets the neighborhood’s brick vernacular through material precision and digital craft.

Its façade is composed of custom dome-shaped bricks, hand-laid to create a rhythmic surface of light and shadow bridging historic texture with contemporary geometry. The result is a dialogue between craftsmanship and computation, tradition and innovation.

📸 Perspective is everything, and Lisbon-based photographer IG/ proves it.

With nothing more than a camera, imagination, and perfect geometry, he transforms everyday moments into optical compositions that challenge perception. Each frame is a study in form, scale, and alignment, turning ordinary objects into spatial illusions that feel architectural in their precision. Entirely self-taught, Hugo blends imagination with structural logic, proving that creativity, like architecture, begins with how we see the world.

“I won’t stop until I materialize in a photo what is in my head,” he says, a reminder that imagination, when paired with precision, can reshape the way we see reality.

270 Park Avenue | by Foster + Partners 🏙️
JPMorgan Chase’s new global headquarters redefines the Manhattan skyline — a 60-story, all-electric tower designed to achieve net-zero operational emissions. ⚡️

Its triangular bracing system and fan-column structure maximize efficiency while opening up 2.5× more outdoor space for the public realm. The tower’s bronze-toned façade and column-free interiors reflect a structural logic that merges engineering clarity with urban responsibility.

Sotheby’s has officially opened its new home on Madison Avenue, a careful renovation of Marcel Breuer’s iconic 1966 building by Herzog & de Meuron in collaboration with PBDW Architects. 🏛️

The project preserves Breuer’s material and spatial essence, including the bluestone floors, coffered concrete ceilings, and sculptural staircases, while introducing new layers of flexibility, accessibility, and light. The result is an architectural dialogue between modernist rigor and contemporary experience.

In Hanoi’s humid tropical climate, the Huy Hoang Lock Factory by Baumschlager Eberle Architekten employs a rhythmic façade of concrete lam elements that adapt to the sun, wind, and rain.

Each lam varies in density and angle a responsive skin that regulates light, reduces heat gain, and naturally cools the interior. This climatic intelligence transforms an industrial complex into an architectural system attuned to its environment.

The National Monument of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution was designed by the i-ypszilon group after winning an international competition in 2005.

Its wedge-like form recalls the undergraduates students marching arm in arm to the statue of Józef Bem a symbol of trust, unity, and collective strength.

📌 Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group is nearing completion in Suzhou, China. Conceived as a village of twelve pavilions beneath a flowing, ribbon-like roof, the 60,000 m² museum reinterprets Suzhou’s centuries-old garden tradition through contemporary architecture.

Set along the Jinji Lake waterfront, the design merges art, landscape, and urban life, where pavilions, courtyards, and glass corridors weave together like a modern Chinese knot. Clad in curved glass and warm-toned stainless steel, the building reflects the surrounding sky, water, and greenery, creating an immersive dialogue between nature and structure.

The opening exhibition, “Materialism”, curated by BIG, will take visitors on a journey through materials, from stone to recyclate, before the museum’s full public opening in 2026.
