Next Practices Awards and Baghdad's Forested Master Plan: The Week's Review
"This week, architectural developments around the world highlighted the balance between continuity and change in the built environment. Conversations around sustainability, heritage, and resilience highlight how architecture adapts to shifting cultural, social, and environmental conditions, reimagining the role of design in shaping future communities. Across different contexts, projects, and initiatives, ongoing efforts to address environmental challenges, preserve cultural landmarks, and prepare new infrastructures reflecting the diverse scales and directions shaping architectural practice today."
"The Copenhagen Architecture Biennial, which runs until October 19 under the theme "Slow Down," has transformed the Danish capital into a platform for architectural dialogue and experimentation. The program features more than 250 events and highlights include the Slow Pavilions, Barn Again by Tom Svilans & Thiss Studio, and Inside Out, Upside Down by Slaatto Morsbøl, and the transdisciplinary group exhibition Slow Down, which explores how cultural narratives might shift toward slower, more sustainable futures."
