We start to accept applications for the participation in the Summer Visiting School ‘In-transition lab: Structure as an Urban Catalyst’. It is a joint project of Shukhov Lab, which is a research unit and educational space of HSE Graduate School of Urbanism, and London Architectural Association School of Architecture, the oldest experimental school in the UK which organises visiting educational workshops around the world each year. The course is aimed at current architecture, urban and media design students and young architects. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the participants will work together with the team of tutors from AA and HSE Graduate School of Urbanism using the digital equipment of Shukhov Lab. In the course of the training, the students will get acquainted with different methods of experimental urban analysis, design and prototyping, the basics of speculative design, urban storytelling, motion design, and video mapping, and by the end of the workshop, they will design an interactive structure capable of contributing to the regeneration of Shabolovka.

Imagine a building designed and constructed to function as elegantly and efficiently as a flower: a building informed by its bioregion’s characteristics, and that generates all of its own energy with renewable resources, captures and treats all of its water, and operates efficiently and for maximum beauty - Los Angeles World’s Fair (LAWF) is a social purpose company that aims to bring the World’s Fair to Los Angeles in 2022.
Distinctive pavilions and urban settings will be spread throughout Los Angeles County, located near and accessed by various metro stops along the transit system. The plans are specifically designed to encourage a grand scale transition from a car-dependent culture to widespread adoption of mass-transit. The theme of the fair is LA: The Connected City; A World Connected™ and seeks to do it on every level – from the physical to the cultural.
Augmented reality provides us with new research field of architecture. Now you do not need architectural models. We can see the building as it is with all the details as a virtual model. These properties of augmented reality give us new opportunities. For example, we can compare the buildings from different regions of the world, from different eras in the same scale. We can make collections of buildings, unimaginable compositions.
The project is a renovation of a duplex apartment located in Santiago, Chile. The clients’ requirements were to achieve spaciousness, continuity and to add light.
After defining the type of space we wanted, we looked for the precise materials that would give us this continuity. We specified a single type of cement-porcelain flooring throughout, white walls, and AraucoPly plywood panels for the entirety of the furniture and staircase, even used it for the overhead dustcovers. The objective was to provide continuity, explained the architect.

We invite designers from around the world to submit their ideas of architecture that reacts. That means architecture which is able to respond and adjust dynamically to the current needs and circumstances. These circumstances are often unpredictable, but their consequences can be crucial. The architecture that reacts is the architecture that lives as a living organism since it responds to the external stimuli and develops because of it.
