The participation of foreign intellectuals in the urban development of Peruvian cities, and particularly of Europeans in the introduction of new types of buildings in Lima, remains one of the most important influences on local architects and engineers.

A celebration of some of the greatest modern buildings in Britain, all created in the 21st century.

There have been five major extinction events in Earth's history, the fifth being the obliteration of the dinosaurs by an asteroid some 65 million years ago. For many plant and animal species today, humans are now the greatest threat to their survival. This is known as the sixth extinction, and its grim ledger is the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The unrestrained destruction of animal habitats for our cities and food production is the equivalent of a slow-motion asteroid. And yet, it is only the human who has the capacity to prevent a real asteroid hitting Earth.

International Summer School of Architecture – Thinking Hands
Dobrava pri Škocjanu, Slovenia

Join four days of public happenings that bring collective play, performance, and public action into former churches across Gelsenkirchen.

Architecture's Inscriptions will open this July at TANK Shanghai on the West Bund. Running from July 9 to October 7, 2026, this exhibition brings together works by contemporary architects and artists alongside ancient Chinese manuscripts, rubbings, scholar's rocks and paintings, exploring various forms of synthetic poetics grounded in inscription.

Paris School of Architecture (PS-Arch) and the Pavillon de l'Arsenal invite you to a new professional architecture networking event: ASAP* (Architectural Studio Afterwork Paris).

The world’s leading architects offer inspiring advice, hard-earned wisdom, and frank opinions in this stylish volume.

Van Alen Institute has spent more than 130 years at the intersection of design ambition, education, and civic life. Today, we are a driving force behind community-led urban design, which believes that local knowledge and care enrich the design process. Our archive—comprising thousands of competition boards, jury records, photographs, and correspondences—is one of the most significant collections of American architectural history in existence. Much of it has never been seen by the public.

The Trieste Contemporanea Committee is pleased to announce the 16th edition of its International Design Contest: HOLD THE PLACE. The competition is carried out under the patronage of the ADI – Association for Industrial Design and the Central European Initiative. Supported by the co-financing from the Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, it is organised with the collaboration of the ADI's Friuli Venezia Giulia Territorial Delegation.

The ‘DiWine Path’ Summer School explores how climate change is reshaping agricultural production, transforming mountainous areas into new territories for viticultural experimentation and rural regeneration. Through an integrated, interdisciplinary, and multiscale approach, the programme investigates strategies to enhance and recover fragile historic viticultural landscapes and rural heritage of Valle Maira in Piedmont (Italy).

Over the past decade, the definition of a performing arts venue has shifted. No longer singular-purpose destinations, today's cultural facilities are expected to operate as flexible, revenue-generating, community-centered ecosystems. This evolution has challenged architects, operators, and owners to rethink not just how venues are designed, but how they function over time.

Buildner has announced the results of its Museum of Emotions Competition Edition 7. The Museum of Emotions is an annual international design competition that tasks participants to explore the extent to which architecture can be used as a tool to evoke emotion.

The brief calls for the design of a conceptual museum with two exhibition halls: one designed to induce negative emotions; the other designed to induce positive emotions. Participants are free to choose any site of their liking, real or imaginary, as well as choose the scale of the project. The meaning of 'positive' and 'negative' is up for interpretation: What two emotions might a designer consider contrasting? How might an architect conceive spaces which elicit fear, anger, anxiety, love or happiness? 

As the technical requirements of building envelopes have evolved, fire performance has become a key criterion in the design of ventilated facades. Given this situation, analyses no longer focus solely on the individual reaction of materials, but also on the joint response of the entire building envelope under possible scenarios of external fire propagation.

In an industry defined by engineering tolerances and performance certainty, interior finishing still relies on a process that introduces variability into every project. Even experienced applicators often depend on judgement-based mixing—estimating water ratios and adjusting by feel until the material appears workable. While skill reduces variability, it does not eliminate it. The result is inherent inconsistency that transfers directly onto the finished surface.

As part of NeoCon 2026, Kettal will host a conversation between Eames Demetrios, Director of the Eames Office, and Antonio Navarro, Creative Director of Kettal, exploring the enduring influence of Charles and Ray Eames on contemporary workplace design.

The first monograph on the celebrated California architecture firm known for their elegant and site-specific residences

In 1959 architect James Strutt of Ottawa, Canada, then 35, designed a series of houses for clients which were a revolutionary re-imagining of the single family home: a hexagon within a circle within a triangle under a hyper-parabolic roof. The concept was not grandiose but addressed how to most efficiently use space and materials to achieve a "low-cost house of 1000 sq ft" to serve post-war societal needs.
