It concerns the construction of a permanent pavilion intended above all to foster a new form of cooperation between different disciplines (art & science), and to offer radically new, method-driven approaches to such collaboration. Conceived as a kind of laboratory and prototyping space, it is meant to be a place for new forms of experimentation.

Buildner has announced the results of its competition, the Concrete Pavilion. Part of Buildner's Material Studies series, the competition invited architects and designers to explore the architectural potential of concrete through the design of an experimental pavilion. Participants were challenged to reconsider the material beyond its conventional use, investigating its spatial, structural, and sensory possibilities.

La Pyramide: The Futuristic soul of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The exhibition Wellbeing in the City, at the Casa de la Arquitectura and curated by Izaskun Chinchilla, is conceived as a critical device that reconsiders the foundations upon which urban wellbeing has historically been constructed. Rather than defining wellbeing as a set of indicators (life expectancy, obesity or diabetes rates) or the provision of services, the exhibition approaches it as a relational condition, dependent on the quality of interactions between bodies, communities, and environments. At the core of its conceptual framework lies the Quechua term Sumak Kawsay — Buen Vivir or Good Living — which integrates material, biological, social, and ecological dimensions within a single plane.

In the face of an urgent and ongoing climate crisis, the future of the built environment increasingly depends on adaptive reuse. For today's emerging architects and designers, the work of continuously transforming existing buildings—a process known globally as umbau—may indeed become the crux of professional practice for many. So what will it take to produce the next generation of umbau innovators?

Qbiss Notch, a new design edition developed by Pininfarina for Trimo's Qbiss façade system, has received the Red Dot Design Award. Based on Trimo's Qbiss façade technology, the project introduces vertically installed modular Qbiss panels, an alphabet of engraved Glyphs, and Notches with integrated lighting. Together, these elements allow designers to create distinctive façade compositions. Despite its visual flexibility, the system is designed around the efficiency and precision of prefabricated construction.
