Growing up in a small village in Lebanon taught me resilience and adaptability. Those qualities have influenced my character and my approach to design and decision-making.

The care and attention to detail that is evident throughout the space, combined with the provenance of the hands that created it, marks Oficina Milanese as distinctly respectful and enduring of the surrounding streets.

Rever & Drage reworks a traditional timber dwelling into a modernized red house dubbed Chr. Tomters Veg, designed for a growing family while retaining the original structure's scale.

The project reconsiders the building as a layered architectural structure shaped by successive transformations, reorganizing these historical strata through a spatial strategy that prioritizes clarity, continuity, and flexibility.

Villa El Fida unfolds as a refined dialogue between architecture, landscape, and light, emphasizing a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces.

Moller emphasizes that architecture should not be confined to regulations and data, as this limits the potential for innovation and creativity within the discipline.

The architecture is organized entirely around those two axes, turning the site's constraints into its greatest asset. Rather than fighting the narrow footprint, the design leans into it - producing a continuous, open living space that flows visually from front to back.

The installation is composed of more than 700 star-shaped modules fabricated from sustainable panels. Each unit is designed to function both as an individual geometric element and as a structural connector within the larger system.

The project represents a careful and deliberate expansion of a modest traditional home into a rich and spatially complex residence for a large and active family.

The project consists of a three-story brick-concrete building facing the street on the south side, an 8-meter-high factory building, and a single story brick-concrete building on the north side.

Klumpen is the work of Himmelsfahrtskommando, a Swedish architectural duo that includes designer Hannah Mazetti. It is one of the more quietly radical design objects I have come across in years.

The first block resembles a bridge between two plateaux, straddling a natural gully that continues to drain runoff from heavy rains.

The bowl-shaped canopy, its underside ground to a flawless mirror finish, acts as what the team describes as an urban periscope. From above ground, the city is reflected downward into the station.

The design for Youth Center Mena stems from an explicit ambition to create a place of encounter, focusing on the needs and wishes of its users from the outset.

Taking up an entire block, 345 Park Avenue is large enough to have its own zip code. The building's site is bordered by Park and Lexington Avenues and 51st and 52nd Streets. Richard Roth Jr. designed the blockbuster building, which was completed in 1969, for one of New York's most prolific real estate dynasties, the Rudins.

To see the 12th series of Home of the Year flutter on to our screens is sort of reassuring. Television has its seasons - or used to - and the return of the RTÉ favourite is a constant in a churning world.

It has an impeccable inner-city skyline. Croydon has the facade of being a bigger city. It's got all these huge offices that looks like residences. And filmmakers get this authentic scenery without the restrictions of space and traffic management found in central London.

With a cornucopia of credits to his name-having designed some of Asia's hottest new hotels including the Waldorf Astoria Osaka, Capella Taipei, and Upper House Hong Kong; restaurants like Duddell's and Estro in Hong Kong; and even furniture for Louis Vuitton-Fu needs as much artistic inspiration as he can get to fuel his work. Fortunately, he doesn't have to go far in this dynamic city: "There's the ultramodern and chic, yes, but the city's spirit is rooted in places that are grounded and authentic," he says.

We're drawn to beauty in many forms-through art and architecture, sweeping mountain views, layered history, and the everyday culture of city life. And while you can find that beauty anywhere you look, some places make the search a little easier than others. This list of the most stunning cities in the world spans continents and centuries, but the entires are all united by one common thread: the ability to make you fall in love at first sight.

Monia Ben Hamouda's work weaves calligraphy, material transformation and ancestral memory into sculptures and installations that oscillate between language and form. In conversation, we traced the conceptual and sensory threads of her practice, unfolding through key works that reflect on heritage, embodiment and translation. Using materials such as iron, stone and pigment, her installations become sites where history is not only referenced but physically felt.

Fundamental to her work is an exploration, as a queer woman and as a documentarian photographer, of the nuanced, multifarious nature of identity, most prominently in LGBTQ+ communities, but also far beyond them. She has committed from her earliest mature images to the idea that, as she has phrased it, "Without representation, there is no visibility"-a belief that remains more vital than ever in the US and across the world in the 2020s.

Drawing Architecture Studio presents The Clock House No.2 at the 7th Shenzhen Bay Public Art Season in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, on view until April 19th, 2026. Commissioned for the public art program, the Beijing-based practice reinterprets the historical automaton clock as architecture, using low-cost industrial components to construct a structure that chimes and glows every fifteen minutes. Where the clocks once gifted to emperors represented technical virtuosity and expensive craftsmanship, this installation adopts a deliberately rough and economical construction.

The loft, located in Vervoordt's Kanaal complex outside of Antwerp, is currently in contract to close for an undisclosed sum, but it was listed for $825,100. Ye bought the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in 2021. Spanning 2,260 square feet, the dwelling featured Vervoordt's dreamlike minimalist style as seen in the home that Ye shared with his ex, Kim Kardashian, which was also designed by the Belgian architect.

Postmodernism began as a critique of modernism's exhausted promises. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, many designers no longer treated modernism as radical or socially redemptive. Urban renewal projects accelerated the demolition of historic neighborhoods, and landmark preservation battles raised urgent questions about what the United States valued and, ultimately, protected. The loss of major civic icons, including New York's Penn Station, sharpened public awareness that progress often arrives through erasure.

'The challenge of the design was to find a way to allow the architecture to mediate between a charged landscape and the sacred narratives that arose within it. It demanded a building that could work with allegory,' share the architects. 'At the same time, the project needed to use local labor, skills, and resources to achieve something with a sense of social responsibility and low carbon expenditure.'

High above the Naggar valley in Himachal Pradesh, Eila reveals itself slowly. It is not the kind of resort that announces its presence with grand façades or rigid terraces. Instead, it feels as if the architecture has quietly grown out of the mountainside. Soft, organic forms follow the contours of the land, echoing the rhythms of the terrain rather than resisting them.

Rising from the ground as a cultivated landscape of learning, the Uzbekistan Pavilion "Garden of Knowledge" at Expo 2025 Osaka translates national transformation into a spatial and material narrative.

Leaning into the LA love, we took a look through some of our favorite Los Angeles Open Door tours to highlight different neighborhoods, from Ellen Pompeo's midcentury escape on a bluff in Malibu to John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's palatial spread in Beverly Hills. Read on for a set of stunning Los Angeles Open Doors videos that just might have you dreaming of ditching the cold and heading west to the vibrant, resilient City of Angels (and celebrities).

Vanessa Baernthol presented her Fall/Winter 2026 collection, titled SPHERE, during Berlin Fashion Week, showcasing her renowned architectural approach to fashion and a strong commitment to sustainable practices. This latest collection explores layering as both an artistic and functional endeavour, setting the stage for a thought-provoking intersection of fashion and architecture. The runway show took place at the Schinkel Pavillon, an art gallery in Berlin-Mitte, where its architectural clarity and intriguing interplay of structure and transparency provided a fitting backdrop for SPHERE.
