The project aims to bring together the historic port city’s identity-defining features with the planning technologies required to guide its development toward 2050, in a context of rapid urbanization. A team composed of ZHA, A&O TEC, Prior + Partners, Homa, Buro Happold, Systematica, and Fichtner recently unveiled its concept proposal for the “Next Generation City Plan” for Benghazi, Libya. Across these different contexts, architecture emerges as a way of negotiating access, resources, community, and the long-term value of the built environment. Instead of the fourteen-story high-rise tower originally envisioned by the College, the team designed a walkable building that frames the existing campus and creates new landscapes for food production and social encounters.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Our latest roundup collects houses topped with verdant green roofs, with some designed to blend into the natural landscape and others providing elevated garden space for families to gather. Igarchitects tests the spatial strength of timber architecture with a house shaped by a field of structural walls. Igarchitects creates a house in okinawa where reinforced-concrete walls, columns, and a large roof overlap to form a continuous sequence of spaces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Praemium Imperiale is a global arts prize that recognizes exceptional achievements in architecture, painting, sculpture, music, and theater or film. Founders of the Paris-based Miko\u00fc Architecture, the sisters draw on their different approaches to design as well as their experience growing up between Morocco and France. French-Moroccan architects and twin sisters Salwa and Selma Miko\u00fc have developed a practice that brings together architecture, engineering, craftsmanship, and cultural memory. The scheme combines a prefabricated timber construction system with adaptable housing layouts and shared open spaces, with the design organized around the relationship between the residential buildings, landscape, and public areas. MAD, the architecture studio founded by Ma Yansong, has revealed the designs for Danshuis, a new dance center planned for Rotterdam, the Netherlands. 3DCP Group has completed Skovsporet, a 3D-printed student housing development in Holstebro, Denmark, designed by SAGA Space Architects in collaboration with MS+.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When on the move, different trees reshape the reflected landscape while the pavilion structure remains unchanged. Impare Arquitectura extend a Leiria gas-solutions company with a volume aligned to the existing complex, warehouse below street grade and a single open workspace for forty desks above it. The new nonprofit brings together pesce\u2019s archive, scholarship, exhibitions, and authorized editions under a board of longtime collaborators and colleagues. Charred-timber cladding is contrasted with warm plywood-lined interiors at House in Mibu, a home in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, completed by local studio Tato Architects.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In many homes, the entry is treated as leftover space or a narrow strip transition before the living room begins. Beyond its functional role as a connector of levels, the stair was positioned here as a medium of architectural storytelling\u2014an invitation to explore ideas of procession, sequence, space, and form. Ensamble Studio uses physical experiments to generate geometry and construction knowledge that can move into engineering and full-scale building. It involves the transformation of the old industrial building into a center for the recovery, storage, sorting, and redistribution of construction materials during a one-year pilot program.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Scottish architecture studio Pend has expanded and updated a Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh, complementing its existing pale stone exterior with an extension clad in skinny red bricks. The modernist 22 Parkside house in Wimbledon, London, by Richard and Su Rogers has been given over to conservation charity The National Trust. Late this summer, global architecture st\u2026 Architecture studio Orms has submitted a planning application to transform the BT Tower in London into a hotel with a rooftop swimming pool for American hotelier MCR.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
