“What's Next?“

The Making+Meaning summer studio program exposes participants to a wide range of techniques within a conceptual design framework, pitting the everyday against the unusual to create exploratory content and experiences.

BoConcept‘s Chelsea chair is designed by Karim Rashid, an industrial designer well known for his organically shaped products. With its rounded corners and simple format, it seems utterly natural and basic, almost like a non-design. Yet, obviously, a lot of thought and experimentation has gone into the process of creating such an unambiguous object.

"La Polita, Arquitectura Conversada" is a forum for promoting architectural culture, developed and shared by the architecture cooperative COONVITE.

One of Lima's major deficits is the lack of public spaces designed for children to develop their psychomotor, intellectual, and social skills during their early years. Design focused on early childhood seeks to foster a more attentive perspective toward the needs of the city's most vulnerable users: children aged 0 to 5, their caregivers, and pregnant women.

Straddling theory-fiction, speculative fabulation, audiovisual research, and dramaturgy, Teatro Della Terra Alienata imagines a fictional scenario of territorial secession. It addresses the urgency raised in the 2018 UN IPCC report, which identified the decline of the Great Barrier Reef as part of a "wicked problem" that demands radical political action, as well as new imaginaries and aesthetic paradigms.

Materia Arquitectura magazine is calling for submissions for its second issue of 2022: Negation. Editors Federico Ortiz and Ushma Thakrar invite the submission of articles that reflect the current state of the discipline, preferably based on academic research.

Michele De Lucchi, Kengo Kuma, Eduardo Souto De Moura, and Stefano Boeri: these are just some of the names of the great Masters of Architecture whose interventions are juxtaposed to the installation of Anna Collatuzzo, Arezoo Mohebpour, and Paula Strieder, three Alumni of YACademy who designed The Journey in collaboration with the studio of Mario Cucinella.

Thirty years ago, a contemporary classic was launched by Dornbracht: TARA. The bathroom series became the brand's best selling offering, as its versatility and timeless modernism allowed for its widespread use.

TAC! Urban Architecture Festival will transform a Spanish city into a space for innovation and experimentation each year. This will be achieved through the construction of a temporary pavilion designed by emerging architects, selected via an open call.

The Brick Award recognises and celebrates exceptional brick architecture from around the world. It creates a platform for architects and planners to present their innovative and creative projects and designs to an international audience.

Architecture can achieve great things and unite cultures and nature, as demonstrated by the outstanding buildings that won the International Brick Award 22. For the tenth time, Wienerberger shone the spotlight on exceptional brick building projects from all over the world. The aim of the Brick Award is to act as a torch bearer and source of inspiration for architecture, planning, urban development and culture. The 50 nominated projects also demonstrate the aesthetic and functional potential of ceramic building materials.

URBANBATfest is a festival that acts as a laboratory—or a laboratory that evolves into a festival. It is a research process focused on urban transformations and an environment for learning, experimentation, and collective creation designed to drive urban innovation.

In this new edition of URBANBATfest, under the theme "No future," we are opening a space for reflection on the future of cities. We are examining the responsibility of architecture and urban planning within this context of multidimensional crisis, their complicity and forms of resistance, their possibilities and limitations, their tools and working methodologies, their relationship with other disciplines, their areas of intervention, their capacity to create new imaginaries, and how to cohabit the present and the future.

Daylighting design is an essential aspect for creating brighter, healthier buildings for everyone. Considering that daylight has a unique ability to shape the experience of a space, it is important for architects and designers to take it into account in order to build healthier, more sustainable buildings. Good daylighting design can improve the health, mood, cognitive abilities and productivity of the occupants of homes, schools or workplaces, while reducing the energy consumption of the building.

We explore a few key factors that can influence daylight availability in buildings and how to account for them in your next project.
