'We understand design not as a passive product to be consumed, but as an active dialogue. Our DNA is about involving people so they don't just 'attend' an event, but literally take part in shaping it.'

The series consists of insect-like figures assembled from found plastic fragments collected from beaches and urban environments. Bottle caps, straws, fishing line, and other discarded objects are cut, combined, and reconfigured into small, hybrid creatures.

'When I go to bed, I go to work.' Starck describes dreaming as an active method in his design process, where sleep becomes a space for production and innovation.

Silent Embrace uses choreography and physical interaction to explore how bodies respond to restrictive spatial conditions, revealing the adjustments required to inhabit spaces not designed for rest.

"The homes have to be built: that is the primary need right now. Luxury takes time, and we do not have time."

The refurbishment project is characterized by a dual stylistic code, which allows for a harmonious blend of modern and traditional elements within the apartment's design.

In 1962, the architect Buckminster Fuller envisioned a floating city that would free humanity from its dependence on the Earth. The speculative project consisted of enormous geodesic spheres that would naturally levitate in air warmed by the sun and be anchored to mountaintops.

Standing in the Bispebjerg district of Copenhagen, Grundtvigs Kirke, one of the most singular works of 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture, is the protagonist of David Altrath's latest photography series. Designed by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint and completed in 1940, the church translates the vertical ambition of Gothic architecture into an austere expressionist language built entirely from yellow Danish brick. Structure, surface, and ornament collapse into a single architectural system, where material discipline replaces decoration.

Situated between two university campuses, the new Study Center acts as both a physical connector and a social catalyst.

Studio for New Realities shapes the new lakeside playground pavilion for Plaswijckpark in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, as an all-season destination that combines play, learning, and experimentation. It also restores a direct relationship between the park and the waterfront. During the design process, children help shape the project by voting for their favourite play equipment, contributing to a building that supports every kind of activity: playing, creating, eating, concentrating, and experimenting.

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.

Ever walked into a friend's studio apartment and wondered how they made 400 square feet feel like a palace? Meanwhile, your seemingly larger space feels cramped and suffocating? You're not alone. Most of us struggle with making our rooms feel spacious, especially when square footage is at a premium. Working from my apartment corner that I desperately try to convince myself is a "real office," I've become obsessed with every trick that makes small spaces feel bigger.

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.

Valckensteyn, the first mass timber residential building in Rotterdam, has been officially delivered. Designed by Powerhouse Company and commissioned by housing corporation Woonstad Rotterdam, the project merges innovative timber construction with a strong social mission: providing 82 affordable rental homes in an iconic post-war district.

Studio Rossettini revitalizes House LB into a contemporary single-family residence with playful spaces that puts functionality and quality of life at its center. The from the early 1960s in Padua, reimagines the existing structure through its renovation, freeing up the perimeter walls and creating a fluid sequence of spaces that flow between the kitchen, dining room, and living room, with furnishings integrated into architectural niches.
