Six recent projects across multiple continents illustrate architecture’s evolving role in creating resilient, communal, and imaginative spaces. Projects range from the redevelopment of post-industrial landscapes to sacred architecture, cultural pavilions, and civic hubs. Design approaches include mass timber innovation in Vancouver and Jülich, adaptive reuse in Ostrava, a children's pavilion in London, a spiritual centre in India, and a parametric church in Kyiv. Each project uses material innovation, adaptive strategies, and formal experimentation to bridge heritage and innovation while prioritizing gathering, care, community, and long-term regeneration potential, including a masterplan for a former ironworks site in Ostrava.
