As the global population continues to surge, cities become increasingly complex ecosystems, dense and bustling environments home to millions of people. Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities, which is expected to grow dramatically in the coming decades. This rapid urbanization presents a complex set of challenges for the architects and planners tasked with creating spaces that can accommodate urban residents' lives.

"Provoking the Territory: Bernard Khoury" is the third volume in the Dongola Architecture Series, and it takes a bold look at the work of one of Lebanon's most provocative architects. This book launch will be accompanied by a panel discussion that dives into Khoury's trajectory—from early experiments to his reinvention in his fifties—unpacking how his architecture embodies the contradictions of Beirut and the broader region.








Educational infrastructure is key to any community. The better the quality of these spaces, the better the learning experience for those who use them. However, these facilities often serve a much broader purpose than just education. In Global South communities, in countries like Peru or Vietnam, where a significant portion of the population lives in rural areas far from urban centers, there are few educational spaces and a lack of places where the entire community—not just the students—can come together.


ArchDaily, in collaboration with the European Cultural Center (ECC), is curating its first-ever exhibition as part of the seventh edition of Time Space Existence, the biennial architecture exhibition held alongside the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale. Running from 10 May to 23 November 2025, this edition invites practitioners to explore the themes of Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse, emphasizing innovative and sustainable approaches to the built environment. ArchDaily's contribution will be presented in a dedicated space at Palazzo Mora, complementing other exhibition venues including Palazzo Bembo, Marinaressa Gardens, and Palazzo Michiel.
