Sketch stage. Eleven objects, one composition — Spanish Design As A Souvenir takes shape ahead of its installation at Fuorisalone 2026
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.
From 19–21 March, Architektūros fondas is organising an international three-day symposium on circular design, featuring a conference and an accompanying art programme. By linking critical discourse in urbanism and architecture with artistic practices, the symposium 'What Goes Around Comes Around' approaches circular design not only as a strategy for the reuse of spaces and materials, but also as a way to rethink value, labour, energy and continuity over time.

In today's competitive design landscape, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is no longer just a trend—it has become a baseline expectation. Yet many practices still struggle to balance the complexity and effort involved with the actual value they receive in return. But what if it were possible to unlock the benefits of BIM without adding unnecessary workload? Exploring a lean approach to BIM—focused on efficiency, clarity, and real project outcomes—can help architectural teams streamline their design workflows, strengthen collaboration, and maintain creative control from concept through delivery.

Appartamento Spagnolo 2026 official graphic
"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.
At Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt, OPPLE Lighting marked its 30th anniversary with an architectural proposition rather than a retrospective. Presented under the theme "Hi Light!," the company unveiled Light as Cloud, a booth designed by OMA. The installation also served as the international debut platform for OLL, OPPLE's new high-end design brand. Rather than functioning as a conventional product display, the project positioned light as a spatial system—one that shapes architecture, circulation, and perception.
Situated on the Danube, linking Vienna and Budapest by water. An industrial site in the wider city centre of Slovakia’s capital. Once a heavily used and noisy cargo port. Currently the largest urban redevelopment site in Bratislava. A place where the past meets the future—and where the city’s next chapter is being shaped today.
The theme of the competition is the design of the 350-hectare "Arsenal Memory Park" complex. It looks for a complete urban development of the site which will host „Interpretation Center“ which will be complemented and enhanced with facilities for cultural, artistic, educational, and recreational activities that promote open dialogue, discussion, exchange of ideas, and respect for diverse perspectives (up to 40.000 m2 area).
Tadao Ando has joined forces with Cauny to design the newest watch in The Architects of TimeSeries. This is a collection of watches designed by some of the greatest architects of our time—an initiative that the nearly century-old brand launched in 2019 with none other than Álvaro Siza. From then until today, the collection has proven to be a Pritzker Prize–based tour de force: Siza, Rafael Moneo, Eduardo Souto Moura, and, this year, Tadao Ando.
Completed in 1910, Robie House was one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces, emblematic of his Prairie style. Through years of turbulence in ownership and narrowly avoided demolition, changes were made to the building to suit its various occupants. Previous books about the iconic structure include images that reflect these adaptations, but now, with the publication of Robie House, readers can finally experience Wright’s original vision following the meticulous eleven-year restoration by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust.
