Architecture must tread new paths in order to meet the ecological challenges of our time. The reuse of building components is an important aspect of this need. Under the auspices of The Architecture Week Basel (AWB), the design and programme of the Basel Pavillon intend to formulate a radical and aesthetic thesis for circular construction that implements (re)used components. A catalogue of used, reused building components from demolition projects in Switzerland is being compiled. It includes various building materials, types and scales. The pavilion will open in May 2022 as part of AWB which will offer local and international potential a biannual platform in Basel for the first time. The pavilion will be located on the Dreispitz site in Basel.

Holešovice, surroundings of the Vltavská Metro Station
The City of Prague has launched an architectural design competition for the Vltava Philharmonic Hall in the latter half of August. This building will become a new city landmark, a heart of a future new municipal district. The Vltava Philharmonic Hall will also launch and accelerate the transformation of one Prague’s largest brownfields: the Bubny-Zatory redevelopment zone for which it will provide a new urban centre. The construction of the Vltava Philharmonic Hall will perpetuate Prague’s international reputation as a cultural capital.
European Housing Innovation Awards are part of the Europe Housing Forum. The main objective of this contest is to showcase and reward meaningful initiatives that contribute to solutions for affordable housing in Europe.
In an endeavor to further a dialogue around design and our built environment, we are introducing "Design Dialogue" as an ongoing feature on our website at: https://www.arcdeck.net/. This would be a collection of essays, images, sketches, renderings, thoughts or even architectural photography along with author's commentary.
The Award was designed and conceived by the After the Damages International Academy, and aims to recognise the fundamental importance of the players involved in the processes that characterise all the phases of a disastrous event, with the aim of identifying and rewarding designers from the private and public sector, social cooperatives, bodies and institutions that have initiated virtuous processes towards the territory and communities, through projects, completed and uncompleted works, national and international social cooperation, experiences in territorial governance, research in technological and management fields, interventions on the landscape and the soil, on existing built heritage or newly built works.
About the workshop- Rhino is one of the best tools to explore and develop a wide range of solutions. Rhino is an ideal toolset to generate dynamic associated geometries such as NURBS surfaces, meshes and solid models. Go far beyond what has been previously possible to design or fabricate with the additional information Grasshopper can generate.
