Sand, stone, and earth are among the most extracted materials on the planet—yet their removal is rarely pictured, let alone understood as foundational to the built environment. In the exhibition DOMINIO: An Unfinished Visual Archive of Architectural Extractivism, on view in the Newmark Gallery at Art Omi from March 21–May 31, 2026, architectural photographer Onnis Luque traces these often-invisible origins of construction back to the raw landscapes from which they are born.

Tile of Spain returns to Fuorisalone with "Spanish Design As A Souvenir"
Tile of Spain, the international promotion programme of the Spanish ceramic tile industry led by ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones and ASCER (Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturers' Association), will present Spanish Design As A Souvenir at Fuorisalone 2026. The installation, conceived by Madrid-based practice Codoo Studio, will be on show at the Università degli Studi di Milano — Ca' Granda (Via Festa del Perdono, 7) as part of MATERIAE, the major exhibition event organised by Interni Magazine during Milan Design Week, from 20 to 30 April 2026.
Spanish Design As A Souvenir is a contemporary still life at architectural scale: eleven oversized sculptural objects, each one a reinterpretation of an iconic element of Spanish material culture — from the flamenco trivet to the Dalí-inspired lips sofa — entirely clad in ceramic tile. The project brings together 15 Spanish ceramic manufacturers, each brand assigned to one or more of the eleven pieces: Cristacer (El Salvamanteles), Vives (Las Castañuelas), Arcana (El Plato), Dune Cerámica and Harmony (El Aceite), Decocer and ECerámico (El Cenicero), Colorker (La Camiseta), Cevica (La Milán 430 and La Pajarita), Argenta and Tau Cerámica (La Bota), Apavisa, Gayafores and El Barco (El Imán), and Vidrepur (El Beso).
The installation follows Tile of Spain's participation at Fuorisalone 2025 with The Light in the Darkness, designed by Viruta Lab, which attracted over 270,000 visitors at the same venue.
Under the theme "The Art of Movement" and curated by Marisa Yiu, Co-Founder, Lead Curator and Executive Director of the Design Trust Hong Kong, the Exhibition delves into the architecture, art and natural landscapes of Hong Kong from the 1980s to today, through 30+ donated works.
As part of the Frankfurt Rhein-Main World Design Capital 2026, ICEX is promoting a distinctive architectural installation that will transform the garden of the Instituto Cervantes in Frankfurt into an open cultural space. Inspired by the constructive methodology of Antoni Gaudí, the lightweight pavilion reinterprets his structural principles through a contemporary approach focused on geometry, material efficiency, and the relationship between form and structure.
"Appartamento Spagnolo" is an interior design exhibition organized by Interiors From Spain and Elle Decor Italia, bringing together a selection of the finest contemporary Spanish design, with the participation of 22 furniture and décor companies.
The installation comes to life in an exceptional setting: the historic Palazzo Castiglioni, an extraordinary example of Liberty-style architecture in the heart of Milan. The exhibition unfolds across six bright and dynamic spaces, spread among elegant rooms, an evocative winter garden, and a charming inner courtyard.
Every element engages harmoniously with its surroundings, blending functionality and aesthetics in a balance that evokes the landscapes, light, and natural rhythms of Mediterranean life.
This year's edition is curated by Studio Pepe.

To celebrate the Architectural Heritage Fund's 50th anniversary, we have put together 50 Years of Reimagining Heritage, which tells the story of the difference heritage reuse can make in people's lives and in communities. Across the year, our exhibition will travel to each part of the UK, with openings in Belfast, Glasgow, Cardiff and London. We hope by showcasing these extraordinary stories to inspire more people to get involved in saving local historic buildings to improve places, empower people, and secure a sustainable future for built heritage. For opening dates in each location, see Coming Up below.
The exhibition will be the first major retrospective held on the architect in Spain and one of the few international shows focusing exclusively on her.

Exhibition by Andreas Palfinger and Aysin Bahar Sahin
In 1974, Monumenta’s 54 works by 40 artists made headlines as one of the world’s first large-scale outdoor sculpture exhibitions. Fifty-one years later, FULL CIRCLE returns to this canonical exhibition through the lens of works by Richard Fleischner, one of Monumenta’s last surviving artists, and his contemporaries.
This exhibition is part of the Advanced Architectural Design and Development studio by graduate students of the Master of Architecture in Architectural Design (International Program), Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, collaborated with Bangkok Design Week. The design brief began with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)’s projects in 2024—such as the redesign of the city’s identity system and the launch of a new landmark billboard in the city center—which are part of a broader effort to “rebrand” the city.
