Landforms Office / Billboards

7 March 2026 @ 2:00 am

Landforms is conceived as more than a conventional real estate office. It operates as a three-dimensional manifesto for the company's philosophy, where land, structure, and habitation are explored through built form. Housing workspaces, master planning displays, and model homes under one roof, the project translates the scale of territory into an architectural experience.

Hotel Myeongdong Station / Yong Ju Lee Architecture

6 March 2026 @ 7:00 pm

Located in the dense urban core of Seoul, Hotel Myeongdong Station takes the internal program itself, rather than the external context, as the starting point of its form-making. The spatial density and functional integration of the micro-accommodation units determine the overall configuration and formal principle of the building. This strategy establishes an autonomous architectural language, independent from the site or surrounding conditions.

Caetés House / Ateliê GR

6 March 2026 @ 3:00 pm

Located in an urban mixed-use lot, Casa Caetés is situated on a quiet street that balances residential and commercial use. The design was created for a large family with a "tentacular" configuration—a couple and five children—whose expanded connections demand a complex and interconnected spatial structure.

Voltaire College / NM2A

6 March 2026 @ 12:00 pm

Located in Remoulins, near the Pont du Gard, Voltaire Middle School proposes a contextual and frugal architecture in which environmental, hydraulic, and educational constraints become the driving forces of the project rather than obstacles to overcome.

Long Lake Cottage / Dubbeldam Architecture + Design

6 March 2026 @ 10:00 am

An off-grid cottage on a forested peninsula combines natural materials with elevated living spaces amid the trees. Located on a secluded peninsula along a pristine, motorboat-free lake in the Ontario wilderness, this off-grid retreat offers a serene escape for an urban couple with a deep love of nature—who spent weekends camping on the land for a year before deciding where and what to build. Their goal: a place deeply connected to nature, elevated among the trees, and designed to accommodate accessible multigenerational living—a welcoming year-round refuge for gathering with family and friends. Designed by Dubbeldam Architecture + Design, the two-level cottage maximizes views of the surrounding water and forest while maintaining a light touch on the environment it inhabits. Situated below a ridge of exposed bedrock, the lower half of the cottage is concealed from view on approach, while its upper floor is accessed via a bridge—an essential feature for a family memb

Archiving the Technosphere: How Museum Architecture Mediates Human-Made Systems

6 March 2026 @ 7:30 am

Far from the perception of the exhibition space as a sterile and untouchable, almost sacred place, the contemporary technology museum has emerged as a performative participant in the systems it seeks to document. The architecture of these institutions has become increasingly fluid and bold, often mirroring the velocity and complexity of the systems it houses. They operate as mediators between the human, the ecological, and the technological realms, transforming from encyclopedic warehouses into active educational engines. By spatializing complex scientific data through immersive rooms, these structures make the technological networks of our world accessible, engaging, and tangible.

Xikoucuò Dwelling / Atelier ALL

6 March 2026 @ 7:00 am

In the Chaoshan region, "Cuò" refers to residential dwellings, a term that not only denotes the physical space of a house but also extends to social connections like "厝边" (Cuò-biān, neighborhood). Xikoucuò is located on the outskirts of Teochow, on a uniformly planned new rural construction site. The plot is not far from the old village, adjacent to a branching stream. The residential plot faces the stream to the south and backs onto a planned rural road to the north. There is a height difference of about 4 meters on the stream side.

Paris’ Tour Montparnasse Observatory to Close in March 2026 as Redevelopment Plans Move Forward

6 March 2026 @ 6:30 am

The public observation deck at the top of the Tour Montparnasse, long considered one of the most debated additions to the Parisian skyline, is set to close on March 31, 2026, ahead of a major redevelopment of the tower and its surrounding complex. Completed in 1973, the 210-meter structure has remained the only skyscraper within central Paris for decades, frequently criticized for its scale and contrast with the historic cityscape. The closure of the Paris Montparnasse Observatory marks the beginning of a multi-year transformation aimed at modernizing the tower while rethinking its relationship with the surrounding Montparnasse district.
