Buildner has announced the results of its competition, the Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial No.5. This competition is held each year to support the universal ban on nuclear weapons. In 2017, on the 75th anniversary of the 1945 bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, which claimed the lives of over 100,000 people, the United Nations adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
In recognition of this treaty, Buildner invites conceptual designs for a memorial to be located on any known decommissioned nuclear weapon testing site. The conceptual memorial is intended to reflect the history and ongoing threat of nuclear weapons, aiming to promote public awareness of nuclear disarmament.
The challenge is intended to bring attention to the history and dangers of nuclear weapons. Participants are tasked with designing a space that commemorates nuclear warfare victims and conveys the need for a nuclear-free future. As a 'silent' competition, submissions are not allowed to include any text, titles, or annotations.
The next edition of this competition, the Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial No. 6, has been launched with an early bird registration deadline of June 12, 2025.
Without dedicated spaces for private focus — a crucial element of effective collaboration — even the brightest idea dims. The office must indeed balance connectivity with personal space most brilliantly, letting employees move between tasks without friction. Booths like hushFree.XS, hushFree.S.Hybrid, and hushFree.S are part of this, together forming a trio of single-person booths that meet the majority of the office's need for individual workspaces.
HushFree.XS, hushFree.S.Hybrid, and hushFree.S work as a complete system, ensuring employees have the right conditions for productive solo work throughout the day, proving to be invaluable tools for architects in designing spaces that completely address varied employees needs. Booths like these make premium refuges for focused calls, impressively immersive video conference spaces, and deep-focus bubbles.
An ancestral house in the rural village of Willendorf in der Wachau stands watch over a grove of fruit trees. The trees have stood for generations and, to this day, provide the fruit which is the basis of the family business. Bound on one side by the river Danube and the other by valley's edge, both house and grove have witnessed the passage of countless seasons together. With each progression between darkness and light, from winter to summer, comes the inevitability of change.

Assemble! at Copenhagen Architecture Biennial 2025
The ecological crisis demands a building sector operating within planetary boundaries. But significant structural barriers block the road. Over two action-packed days, you’ll gain the tools, strategies, and narratives to overcome them.

That’s why Assemble! brings together architects, engineers, economists, developers, legal experts, and practitioners to rethink the regulations, ownership models, and design processes that quietly define our cities.
Assemble! is a structural experiment, a policy rehearsal, and a launchpad for bold
