The Future as Propaganda: Soviet Architecture in Kazakhstan and the Imagery of a New Era

Camilla Ghisleni — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 07:30:00 +0000

Practically every history book records 1961 as the year man first reached space, an achievement that placed the Soviet Union at the center of the space race. What not everyone knows is that Yuri Gagarin's journey began in a seemingly unlikely place, more precisely in Kazakhstan. From the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Gagarin set off beyond Earth, inaugurating not only a new era of space exploration but also a history of technology and ambition that would transform this landscape.

Wiki World Forest Store / Wiki World

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 02:00:00 +0000

The birth of the Wiki World Forest Store stems from the ongoing natural architecture practice carried out by Wiki World. Although we have always insisted on building with the zeroprint concept and 100% timber structures, along with the birth of one wilderness home after another, there is always wood that inevitably becomes waste. Who wants to be abandoned leftover scraps? So we wondered: could waste materials be used to build a house? Could leftover scraps also have unrealistic fantasies and be turned into interesting wooden products? Therefore, we planned this building and the products inside it. The Wiki World Forest Store is located at the entrance of Merryda Wiki World-Secret Camp, at the edge of a forest. Pure wood and glass are connected, and the recyclable concept does not require more complex craftsmanship.

Architecture of Care: 6 Unbuilt Spaces for Childhood from the ArchDaily Community

Antonia Piñeiro — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 07:30:00 +0000

As cities change, so do our expectations of them. People are asking for more caring spaces: public places open to all ages and genders, nature within reach of every social class, and settings that foster connection. Few design intentions hold these together as well as spaces for children. This selection of unbuilt projects submitted by ArchDaily readers showcases different approaches to care-based architecture. Schools, daycare centers, a library, a youth center, and a new model for orphanages take on the mission of providing a safe and stimulating environment for children at every stage of their development. Not yet built but carefully designed, these proposals offer a glimpse into spaces for play, learning, and calm that fuel creativity in design for people of all ages.

Frank Gehry’s New Colburn School Concert Hall to Open on September 25, 2027

Antonia Piñeiro — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 05:30:00 +0000

Colburn's 100,000-square-foot campus expansion, designed by Frank Gehry, will open on September 25, 2027, with an event in the new 1,000-seat Terri and Jerry Kohl Hall, a round concert hall. Colburn is a school of music and dance in Los Angeles, on a downtown campus that welcomes an estimated 10,000 people weekly. The institution provides performing arts education, and more than 500 music and dance performances open to the public each year. The first images of the design were released in 2022. The expansion triples the facilities currently dedicated to dance and will house Colburn's Trudl Zipper Dance Institute. The building, finished in a metallic pink coating, is located adjacent to Colburn's Grand Avenue campus in downtown Los Angeles and is expected to reach substantial completion in summer 2027.

Flat Land, Hidden Water: Architecture on Reclaimed Ground

Jonathan Yeung — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Reclaimed land is often presented as new ground: flat, available, and ready for architecture. It promises cities more space where space is scarce, allowing them to extend waterfronts and build cultural districts. Sometimes, these newly claimed lands may also develop into financial centers, create parks, and imagine futures beyond the limits of existing land. Yet reclaimed land is never simply land. It is an engineered surface, produced through fill, seawalls, drainage, and soil stabilization — a long-term negotiation with the water it claims to have displaced.

Onodatesho Pavilion at the 76th Japan's National Tree Planting Festival / Yano Aoyama Architecture Design

Pratik Mour — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Jingzhou City Wall Archaeological Site Exhibition Pavilion / Qing Studio

Andreas Luco — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Millennium Cross-Section on a Living Street — This project originates from a major breakthrough in the archaeological discovery and conservation practice at Bastion No. 11 of the Jingzhou City Wall. Since 2016, this section of the ancient wall had been listed for emergency conservation due to foundation settlement and structural cracking. During the repair process, a stratified structure of "walls built upon walls," spanning the Five Dynasties, Song, Ming, and Qing periods, was uncovered. This led to the approval by the National Cultural Heritage Administration for systematic archaeological excavation.

Casa Iriarte / SOCO

Nana Dokua — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0000

In the historic centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, this house turns the constraints of a narrow plot into an opportunity for spatial invention. An off-centre courtyard brings light and air into the interior and organises the spaces around it, breaking with conventional room divisions to create an open setting where economy and pleasure overlap. The narrowness of the site becomes a starting point for the design, shaping the layout, ventilation and everyday use of the house.

Varanda House / Esquadra Arquitetos

Susanna Moreira — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 17:00:00 +0000
