Archicad 25 allows you to continue selections by switching between 2D and 3D views without reselecting items thanks to new and improved commands. Furthermore, you can also speed up your workflow by using overlapping elements and hiding the selected elements in the active view.
Let’s be honest. There’s been a certain amount of speculation over the past while about the future of imm cologne, the international furniture fair that’s traditionally kicked off the calendar year, acting as a compass to the design landscape of the following twelve months. Like every physical trade fair, it has had to navigate white waters: pandemic strictures, turbulent macroeconomics and the continued expansion of alternative channels.
IAAC x ArchDaily present "Shaping the Future of Architecture". The digital revolution, along with the unforeseen environmental, economic, and social challenges our world currently confronts, compels architecture to shake off many of the traditions and long-standing foundations upon which it has operated for decades if not centuries. Design, in conjunction with multidisciplinary science, stands as the two powerful tools enabling architecture to undergo revolutionary innovation and thereby generate a positive impact and transformative change in the built environment.

Upholstery is at the heart of every living space, providing comfort both physically and visually. It’s the basis for an interior to grow and evolve, setting the tone for a wider 360-degree landscape. To create a truly dynamic foundation, it usually takes a few different sofas or armchairs, but pairing them up to create the desired harmony between color, texture, form and function can be a challenge without experiencing them side by side in space.
Right place, right time: that's how you could describe the origin story of Future > Factory > Furniture >, a special event at Dutch Design Week 2023, which returns to the iconic Klokgebouw –along with over one hundred other sites in the city of Eindhoven– from 21 to 29 October. It was in the former Philips factory building that, earlier this year, another industry gathering took place. Destination Design hosted over 40 international and Dutch brands for the second year running in an effort to shed light on new products and innovative ideas.
This month's workshop is the second series of the Revit flow series By Mustapha Nachar. It will focus on intermediate to advanced Revit techniques, including designing using families, BIM techniques, and parametric tools to enhance the design process and produce BIM data schedules. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to create complex building elements and systems using advanced Revit features, and you will be able to produce detailed and accurate construction documentation.

The new furniture collection Nawabari is the manifestation of a shared vision. At the outset of the creative collaboration between furniture designers BoConcept and architecture office BIG, both parties sat down to share their insights and understandings of what today’s consumers need and how to create optimal social and living spaces.
For architecture full of light: large-area glass facades allow daylight to play a role throughout while also providing unrestricted views. Image Courtesy of Solarlux
Living spaces framed solely by glass, whether in the city or the countryside, are a long-cherished architectural dream to which various architectural monuments already bear witness. First and foremost, there's Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who blurred the lines between inside and out with modern steel constructions and large-scale glass facades that stage absolute space. Anyone strolling through the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin will sense the light-footedness and transparent generosity of this idea in all its glory.

There’s something old-fashioned, or indeed anti-fashion about a duffle coat. It’s charmingly naïf, the stuff of school uniforms and Paddington Bear, with a history that goes way back to the mid-19th century. It had a life in the military, as part of the uniform for the Royal Navy, and like much service attire, was then reimagined by the world of high fashion. Jean Cocteau used to stroll with close friend Coco Chanel, wearing his white version. Decades later, Rei Kawakubo made an oversized statement with versions at Comme des Garçons, and it remains a favorite of arch Modernist Margaret Howell. When Jean Louis Iratzoki was working on plans for a new sofa to join his ever-growing range of designs at BOSC, he took inspiration from the toggles and nostalgia of all things duffle. It was a subtle way to infuse what is a contemporary and highly sophisticated piece of furniture with a touch of something softer, from the past.

It accompanies us through the day, gives us support, shows us the way and touches our senses. This may sound like the description of your perfect partner, but in this case, we are talking about the ground beneath our feet. Day after day, year after year, we come into daily contact with it, though it generally melts into the background, is taken for granted and overlooked. So it's time to give it some deserved attention. There is, after all, far more beneath its surface than meets the eye.
Matri-Archi(tecture) prepositions an exhibition in Johannesburg, titled ‘Building Africa: The State of Things!. The exhibition asks what it means to restore, preserve, foreground, call upon, remember and project former and future conditions of socio-political identity through the architecture of buildings that were once central figures in the political agenda of South Africa. The exhibition foregrounds research about the Constitutional Court and Union Buildings.
