Great Arab Minds Award: The Latest Architecture and News

London’s National Gallery Expansion and Lina Ghotmeh’s Mathaf Campus Project: This Week’s Review

This week's architectural news reflects a broad engagement with how institutions, practitioners, and cultural platforms are positioning themselves in relation to both legacy and long-term change. Across museums, galleries, and major cultural events, architecture is being framed as an evolving public infrastructure, one that must respond to expanding collections, shifting curatorial models, and growing expectations around accessibility, sustainability, and civic presence. Alongside these institutional developments, professional recognitions and appointments have foregrounded practices rooted in site specificity, conservation, and critical research, highlighting architecture's role in mediating between historical contexts and contemporary needs.
