On the eastern shore of Lake Como in Bellano, Italy, the former Cantoni Cotton Mill tells a story of water, machinery and working life. Its substantial buildings and rhythmic façades offer a different perspective on a landscape more often associated with villas and waterfront gardens.

METAMORPHOSIS: From Lines to Space | ARCHFEST 2026
The Tycoon's Last Desire
The Client, the House and the Architecture of Power
Competition description
The competition aims to create a contemporary, flexible, and sustainable cultural facility ("Limassol Arts Centre") as a strategic pillar of the Limassol Cultural Strategy 2024–2034. The objective is to create a contemporary cultural facility that meaningfully responds to the actual needs of the artistic community, expressing a clear, timeless, and recognizable architectural identity. It is envisioned as an open, accessible, and dynamic organization capable of supporting the full spectrum of cultural activity – from production, research, experimentation, and collaboration to artist residencies, digital arts, and public participation.
The open call for the 19th Istanbul Biennial aims to deepen a particular line of research within the Biennial's broader conceptual framework. In their invitation text to artists, the curators state: "Art cannot end wars or resolve their underlying causes, but it can open spaces for dissent, doubt, and the imagination of alternatives. Looking at war through art carries a historical responsibility, as well as a practical value, since it can keep in view what official accounts leave out. By setting individual recollections aside—and at times against—the memories that communities and states construct, artists can open up nuanced ways of thinking about life under extreme conditions, and about the questions of courage, complicity, ethics, and endurance that war raises." To read the curators' complete text outlining this line of research, visit bienal.iksv.org.
Architecture is often understood through finished buildings. "Figures of Architecture" asks students to look closer at the things that make architecture possible: the materials, assemblies, and methods that are often concealed, overlooked, or misunderstood once a building is complete.

For this year's Copenhagen Architecture Biennial we are looking for two distinct pavilions, urging you to build with fire, water, earth and air - letting the world in instead of shutting it out. Leaving behind dreams of mastery over heat, earth, air and water we follow commonly felt desires for friction and ask what designing from dependence and connection might entail. In a time of warming, droughts and technological illusions of a frictionless escape into the cloud.

Join our upcoming annual edition of "modern conversations", where we examine spaces of pedagogy to analyze the shifting terrains of educational practices, institutions, and environments that influence the creation and dissemination of knowledge. This inquiry prompts us to consider: where does learning occur, both historically and in the contemporary world? What is the connection between modernity and education? In what ways has modernity transformed educational spaces? When did education adopt a formal structure, and how was this reflected spatially? How have socio-political dynamics shaped these environments? Most crucially, why is it critical to examine the spaces where education happens?
The City of Gliwice invites entries for a one-stage urban planning, landscape, and architectural design competition to develop a development concept for the Kłodnica Boulevards in Gliwice.
