Imaging Heaven

Rene Submissions — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:35:00 +0000

Imaging Heaven is a visual narrative of frescoed church ceilings, photographed across Italy and Catholic Europe. Moving from the Proto-Renaissance to the Baroque, the book follows painters as they confront a fundamental problem: how to make the unseen realm of heaven perceptible amid profound shifts in cosmology, theology, and science.

Guided by threads of light, gesture, and illusion, the photographs reveal how painters moved from shadowless gold grounds rooted in Byzantine techniques to radiant, sophisticated illumination; turned hieratic icons into anatomically precise, emotionally charged bodies; and dissolved architectural boundaries with a photographic study of trompe-l’oeil, quadratura, and di sotto in sù

The Design Village: Educating the Next Generation of Designers for Social Transformation

Rene Submissions — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:25:00 +0000

What if a design school were designed the way we hope designers will one day design the world: starting from people, place, planet and purpose rather than from convention?
In 2011, a small group of practiconers and academics set out to answer that question on the outskirts of Delhi. The result was The Design Village (TDV), an independent design school in Noida, India. It was built from first principles as a response to the gaps in design education and it now has a European campus in Lombardy, Italy. This book tells the story of that experiment. It is part manifesto,

On the eastern shore of Lake Como in Bellano, Italy, the former Cantoni Cotton Mill tells a story of water, machinery and working life.

Organised by Buildner in partnership with Selpi Srl, the competition asks participants to transform the smaller building within the complex into a museum and cultural destination. The task is to develop an architectural response that balances preservation with transformation,

The innovative project 'ZIN in No(o)rd' aims to reuse the emblematic WTC I and II towers located in the heart of the Northern Quarter in Brussels. Instead of a simple restoration of the existing building, it is a question here of adding an unprecedented dimension to the project by connecting the towers with a new volume of 14 double-height floors, creating a new condition for the development of a hybrid building mixing a new way of working on housing, a hotel, sports and leisure spaces, shops and lots of vegetation.

"Earth Craft" at the U.S. Pavilion Will Trace the Work of Builders at the 2027 Venice Architecture Biennale

Antonia Piñeiro — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 05:30:00 +0000

The United States' contribution to the 20th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia will explore the relationship between the country's architecture, landscapes, and the people who shape it. Titled Earth Craft, the exhibition will be commissioned, organized, and curated by a team from the University of Miami School of Architecture (U-SoA). The lead curator, Professor Germane Barnes, conceived the exhibition as a representation of the United States "through its makers and not through its icons," recognizing that celebrated buildings were raised by anonymous builders who dug, shaped, and fired architectural legacy. Vyta Pivo, assistant professor, curator, and historian of Earth Craft, adds a contemporary approach by translating inherited knowledge of soil, water, and heat into computational design, conceiving craftwork and robotic fabrication as complementary. The exhibition will occupy the United States Pavilion at the Giardini della Biennale between May 8 and November 21, 2027, tracing earthen materials from the ground to finished buildings.

What materials meet the demands of a contemporary kitchen?

Agustina Iñiguez — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 05:00:00 +0000

The contemporary kitchen is no longer just a space for food preparation; it has become one of the most dynamic areas of the home. Design decisions can redefine both spatial configurations and the layout of elements as they integrate with various social areas, incorporate new technologies, or adapt to changing domestic habits. In this scenario, and in response to multiple needs, the balance between functionality, comfort, durability, and aesthetics is directly linked to the selection of finishing materials. Depending on the countertop finish or the cabinet opening system, each kitchen configuration helps build environments tailored to different activities and ways of living.

Master Plan Meets Land: Planning Amaravati, India’s New State Capital

Ananya Nayak — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 04:00:00 +0000

A new capital is usually introduced through its principal buildings: the assembly, the secretariat and the ceremonial spaces that give a seat of government its public image. In Amaravati, India's Andhra Pradesh, that image of a new capital sits within an older landscape of cultivated fields, villages and established routes. Before the capital project, the region was already occupied by agricultural villages, local roads and settlements connected to the Krishna River and its water systems. The capital project is reorganizing this agrarian territory into a planned administrative city, bringing existing settlements and land ownership into the process of urban development. Its architectural identity will depend on how the new buildings, infrastructure, and public spaces relate to the settlements and landscapes already there.

Here, children explore soil and shape dough, while parents take a moment away from their daily routines and rest nearby.
