Oris Day architectural symposium with Smiljan Radić, Christian Kerez, three successful Croatian architectural practices NEKOLIKO, Krešimir Damjanović and SKUP-A.
The Oris Day architectural symposium takes place on Sunday, 8 November 2026, in Zagreb, at the Mozaik Event Centre. The central programme will bring together this year's Pritzker Prize laureate Smiljan Radić Clarke and Swiss architect Christian Kerez. The audience will have the opportunity to follow their conversation live – a dialogue between two distinguished architects about architecture, the creative process and contemporary challenges facing the profession. In addition to this conversation, three successful Croatian architectural practices featured in the New Perspectives exhibition, which marked the 11th anniversary of Oris House of Architecture, will also give lectures: NEKOLIKO, Krešimir Damjanović and SKUP-A. The conversation and lectures will be moderated by Mia Roth Čerina, Vedran Mimica, Maroje Mrduljaš and Dinko Peračić.

As architectural projects grow more complex and requirements evolve, the ability to iterate quickly is increasingly important to the design process. For Bellway, one of the UK's largest homebuilders, faster design iteration and visualization have become key to meeting these demands. It is not just a way to present finished designs, but also a tool for testing ideas, communicating options, and making decisions earlier in the development process.

The Steel Architectural Awards ASEAN 2026, presented by BlueScope, has announced the 12 finalist projects selected to advance to the ASEAN-level appraisal. Representing outstanding achievements in architecture across Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, the finalists were selected through the Country Awards programs and now move forward to regional evaluation by an international judging panel.
Now in its second ASEAN edition, the program celebrates architectural projects that demonstrate excellence in design, innovation, sustainability, and the creative application of coated steel solutions. Under the 2026 theme, "Shaping Resilient Futures: Timeless Design with Coated Steel," the Awards highlight projects that respond meaningfully to their context while delivering enduring value for future generations.
From October 5–11, 2026, Mexico City will once again become a global hub for innovation and creative excellence with the opening of Design Week Mexico 2026 (#DWM26).

Buildner is pleased to announce the results of its Architect's Chair Competition Edition 5, the fifth edition of the annual international competition inviting architects and designers worldwide to create a signature chair that reflects their individual design philosophy and vision.
Chair design exemplifies the interdisciplinary nature of architecture, bringing questions of proportion, structure, material, ergonomics, and craftsmanship together at the scale of a single object. This year's submissions explored a broad range of approaches, from highly minimal, structurally efficient solutions to designs rooted in cultural references, material experimentation, and new fabrication methods.

To mark its 30th anniversary, the studio is transforming the public space in front of its headquarters on Avenida Infante Santo into a free exhibition. Thirty large-format panels, designed to resemble giant bookmarks, present 30 projects that have defined the studio's journey back to the city.
Brutalist Asia is the first major survey of Brutalist architecture across the entire Asian continent. Spanning twenty-eight countries, from Japan to Lebanon, the book combines architectural history, photography and regional scholarship to explore how architects across Asia reinterpreted the architectural language of Brutalism in response to local climates, materials, cultures and political conditions.
Wellbeing is no longer confined to exclusive resorts, spas, or hospitality settings. Today, it has become an essential part of contemporary living, inspiring homeowners to create private spaces dedicated to relaxation and personal care. Collections such as LEMI's Home Spa Collection explore this growing interest in residential wellness through a selection of massage beds and relaxation loungers.
Hidden Forces is a research project dedicated to the less visible dimensions that contribute to shaping architecture. Through an exhibition and a public programme of talks, the project transforms Bologna's Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau into a space for investigating the processes, conditions and relationships that give form to architecture. Every project is, in fact, the outcome of a complex system of forces that directs its choices, defines its limits and determines its possibilities. Beyond the built form, economic, political, environmental, regulatory, cultural and social dynamics contribute to defining what can be designed and built. Conceived and curated by Atelier Atollo and Politi Perugini, Hidden Forces brings these conditions to the foreground, reflecting on how architecture takes shape within the broader transformations of our time. The exhibition brings together Federico Perugini's Relics series and four authored columns, which establish a bridge between the works and the themes of the exhibition. Relics draws on an unpublished drawing by Le Corbusier in which the architect depicts, at full scale, the invisible section of the columns of one of his villas. The works take up this intuition but replace pictorial matter with the materials of construction: concrete and steel. They do not represent but rather present an infinitesimal section of the structure of six emblematic buildings by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Letrosne, Shinohara, Nishizawa and Koolhaas, tracing a history of the reinforced-concrete frame in architecture. All six buildings are constructed and still exist today. Beyond revealing the hidden area within their columns, the Relics reproduce the invisible forces and tensions that, even now, run through their structural frames. Organised in pairs, the works act as conceptual columns, bringing together different authors, periods and geographies to reveal affinities, contrasts and questions, synthesised through the exhibition's four themes: Tools, Relationships, Regulations and Intentions. Each theme is made tangible through an authored column conceived as a spatial and interpretative device. Beyond their structural function, the columns reveal their capacity to produce architecture: a represented column by Archizoom Associati; a commissioned column by Duccio Maria Gambi; a construction-site column by architecten jan de vylder inge vinck / A JDVIV / A DVVT; and a column as a point of view on reality by Le Corbusier himself. These works extract and amplify the themes embedded within the exhibited pieces, connecting them to the broader economic, political, environmental, social and cultural conditions that shape architectural practice today, thereby reconstructing a map of forces and tensions that usually remain imperceptible.
