'Future Cites' exhibition now open. Future Design Arts Centre, Chengdu, Until 08 May 2022. The ‘Future Cities’ monographic exhibition examines the innovations shaping 21st century urbanism and traces Zaha Hadid Architects’ (ZHA) projects that are redefining urban landscapes around the world.

In Designing this project, the main focus was on “Sustainable Architecture”. Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings through improved efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, development space and the ecosystem at large

Have you ever heard of rammed earth construction? This method of making walls and homes has been around for thousands of years; you’re probably familiar with it even if you didn’t know what it was called until today!

Kalbod Studio Design : Iceland and a fascinating and delicious experience in the warm embrace of the greenhouse! Icelandic restaurant-greenhouse is a multifunctional space that can accompany the audience with the process of agricultural production while serving as an international restaurant.

Designed by Seattle-based architecture firm Wittman Estes, the project involved the complete remodeling of an apartment in an early 1960s-era condominium building (the apartment building was designed by John Graham, the architect for the Seattle Space Needle).

The site is spectacular, a steep north-facing hillside with unobstructed views of the mountains beyond and a 180-degree panorama from the Hollywood sign in the east to the Burbank airport in the west. Building on this site, long considered unbuildable, presented two challenges: first, to minimize the impact of the house on the landscape and second, to create sufficient flat area to be comfortable for outdoor activities.

Situated alongside a lava flow dating from 1801 on the leeward coast of Hawaii, this 10,361-square-foot residence was designed as a modern interpretation of indigenous island architecture and a way to connect the occupants to nature, the region, and its culture. Rather than orienting the house directly to the view, the home’s living spaces are set at an angle, resulting in glancing coastal views that reveal the visual drama of the natural setting.

Grant will help restore thousands of documents and photographs critical to the study of modern architecture. The Getty Foundation has awarded a $240,000 grant to help restore critically important architectural archives damaged by an April 2021 fire.
