A few years ago we asked our readers to submit photos of their offices so that we could celebrate the many different environments in which architecture is created. Now we're asking you to not only show us where you work but also how you work. We want to see your immaculately curated desks and your overflowing studio cubicles—but more importantly, we want to see those sketching skills!

An exclusive architect-led, behind the scenes tour of this RIBA London Award winning building by Urban Projects Bureau. The building was described by the jury panel during the RIBA Awards process, saying: "This is an inspirational space, both teachers and students seem to thrive within the environment. The daylight is beautiful, abundant yet balanced - the combination of double-aspect teaching spaces, roof-lights and moments of exposed translucent façade of double-skin polycarbonate, is bewitching."
An exclusive architect-led, behind-the-scenes tour of this RIBA London Award winning building by Takero Shimazaki Architects. The building was described by the jury panel during the RIBA Awards process, saying: "Taking on an icon is not an easy task but when client and architect understand each other, the job is less daunting. It is clear here that t-sa and the clients hit the ground running. The success of the project owes much to the holistic approach to the interiors."
An exclusive architect-led, behind-the-scenes tour of this RIBA London Award winning building by Studio RHE. The building was described by the jury panel during the RIBA Awards process, saying: "Alphabeta offers much, it engages and clearly delights its occupants; its vibrant articulation of spaces shows a new way of thinking for large-scale office space, providing an alternative to the sterile mainstream offer of more ‘shades of grey’. The architects have imaginatively reconfigured this space giving the building a new lease of life."

Once a niche topic, architectural geometry enjoys increasing interest from both academics as well as practitioners from the fields of architecture, engineering, computer science and mathematics. The Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) symposia series addresses this increasing interest through presentations and discussions of innovation in geometric and computational applications in architecture.
The Proposal presents the climactic moment within artist Jill Magid's extended, multimedia project The Barragán Archives, which examines the legacy of Mexican architect and Pritzker Prize-winner Luis Barragán (1902–1988). The multi-year project poses piercing, radical, and pragmatic questions about the forms of power, public access, and copyright that construct artistic legacy.
Through this work, Magid asks, “What happens to an artist’s legacy when it is owned by a corporation and subject to a country’s laws where none of his architecture exists? Who can access it? Who can’t?”
In his will, Barragán split his archive into two parts. Along with the vast majority

In the heart of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Puerto Rico shines like a newly polished emerald—bound by history, nurtured by culture, full of life, incredible food, vivacious music, warm people, spectacular beaches and a promising design community. But its economic crisis has put the island on the global spotlight in the most unfortunate of ways, with the international media pessimistically dubbing it ‘the Greece of the Caribbean’. Like Greece, there's much more to la isla bonita (‘the pretty island’, as it was known around the world) than economic and political woes, and if we were to take a look inside the island, peeking through the leaves of its palm trees and luscious fauna, we'd find a people who are determined to succeed and survive; a people who are creative and bold. That's why this summer, we're lobbying for Puerto Rico.
