🤯 Architectural models in the 1880s were on another level.
This extraordinary 1:25-scale model reveals a longitudinal section through the Opéra Garnier in Paris, exposing the complexity of the building beyond its iconic façade, from the auditorium and stage to its layered circulation and structural spaces.

The model was based on drawings published by architect Charles Garnier in Le Nouvel Opéra de Paris in 1880 and was later created for the Musée d’Orsay.
A remarkable example of how physical models were used to communicate architectural space and construction long before digital visualization.

🚀Join us for AI-Powered Design Exploration: From Ideation to Visualization, a 2-day AI-driven architectural design workshop where participants explore the complete workflow from early-stage ideation to accurate architectural visualization.
🔗 Ready to join? Secure your seat and register through the link: paacademy.com/course/ai-powe…
✨ Led by Architect and Project Director at Adjaye Associates, Daeho Lee, the workshop covers precedent analysis, architectural element extraction, AI-generated mutation and variation, critical selection, Rhino-based visualization, material and lighting studies, contextual editing, and AI-assisted animation using Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, and Kling.
Participants will develop an AI-assisted workflow for both architectural ideation and visualization using AI tools. You will learn how to read buildings and objects as collections of physical elements rather than simply as stylistic references, extracting characteristics such as massing, openings, terraces, recesses, and structural conditions.
📑 Topic: AI-Powered Design Exploration: From Ideation to Visualization
📅 Date: October 31 - November 1, 2026
🕓 Time: 14:00 - 18:00 GMT

Completed in 2026, Lotus Shala is a 125 m² bamboo pavilion designed for yoga, meditation, and wellness. Inspired by the lotus flower, its curved roof combines bundled bamboo arches with an interwoven gridshell, creating an open structure surrounded by tropical vegetation.

By twisting the linear elements around a central axis, the design team utilized the principles of a hyperboloid lattice, creating a highly rigid, load-bearing 3D puzzle that achieves an organic, fluid form without a single curved beam. The structure is cinched seamlessly at its waist using concealed metal tension rings, optimizing the material performance of the wood.
The design development relied on advanced parametric design to seamlessly analyze the complex structural mechanics, nodes, and spatial tolerances required to turn a traditional viewing platform into a sculptural mathematical reality.

Located 300 meters above Trieste on the Karst Plateau, the Temple of Monte Grisa designed by Antonio Guacci and Sergio Musmeci in 1959-1965, with early contributions from Umberto Nordio, Adalberto Libera, and Luigi Moretti. Built with reinforced concrete, its triangular geometry symbolizes the letter M in devotion to the Virgin Mary.

The structure follows classical mathematical principles, ensuring stability and proportion. The façade features repeating glass triangles supported by concrete ribs, forming the letters A and M, referencing “Ave Maria.” The upper church is open to natural light, while the lower church incorporates hexagonal patterns resembling a beehive, symbolizing divine illumination. The temple’s ship-like form integrates religious symbolism with structural design.

Happening this weekend🚨
Join us at the Multi-Scalar Urbanism: Concept Buildups with AI, a two-day live workshop exploring how AI and architectural tools can transform complex urban concepts into clear axonometric sequences, annotated diagrams, and animated design narratives.
💬Seats are limited, so don’t miss out. To register now, tap the link: paacademy.com/course/multi-s…
✨ Led by architect, urbanist, and Design Lead at BIG, Sarah Aladayleh, the workshop introduces a hands-on workflow for breaking down masterplans across multiple scales, visualizing design decisions, and building presentation-ready concept buildups.
Using Rhino, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Krea, Gemini, and Premiere Pro, participants will develop static urban diagrams into layered pitch sequences and AI-assisted animations that communicate how a project evolves.
Work with the provided demo masterplan or bring your own urban project and apply the workflow directly to your design.
📑 Topic: Multi-Scalar Urbanism: Concept Buildups with AI
📅 Date: October 24–25, 2026

🎵 What does architecture sound like?
In World Score Project No. 1, @dukun.o_o builds a musical composition from the architecture of Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, built in 1420.
Following the building’s architectural structure, he transforms its tiers, beams, windows, proportions, and repetitions into instruments, rhythms, and sonic textures, creating a composition shaped by architecture itself.
Architecture becomes music. Space becomes sound.

“What do you love about design?”
Ross Lovegrove: “Design is a force of nature.”
For Ross, design is something you discover within yourself and spend a lifetime learning how to release. And perhaps the most powerful part? Every day, you can create something that has never existed before.
A beautiful moment from our conversation with Ross Lovegrove and @hamit_hz on Designing Forward. Watch the full episode now on YouTube from the 🔗 link: youtu.be/QA40PCOgFos?is=eHNf…

🍃The Veil by Bofill Taller de Arquitectura stretches across the mountainous coastline of Albania, where dense forests meet the Adriatic Sea.
Instead of reshaping the land through heavy excavation, the project follows the site’s natural contours, placing 366 apartments and 77 villas across stepped platforms that lightly touch the terrain.

Locally sourced stone creates pathways that move with the mountain’s topography, while existing trees and vegetation are carefully preserved. Rising between the forest canopy, the residences open toward the Adriatic Sea with terraces, balconies, and pools designed to feel open, light, and deeply connected to nature.
Built through the forest, not over it.
