Project Description - Tor Alva ("The White Tower") is the world's tallest 3D-printed building in the Alpine village of Mulegns, Switzerland. Designed by Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer for the Origen Cultural Foundation, the tower reimagines Mulegns' cultural legacy through architecture. It stands as a beacon in the village and functions as an immersive performance space. At the top of the White Tower is a cupola theater enveloped by a forest of filigree branching columns - a breathtaking venue above the village rooftops. With its spectacular architecture and ground-breaking technology, the tower demonstrates the possibilities that computational design and digital fabrication offer the fields of architecture and construction. These include not only economic and ecological advantages, but they allow for an elaborate non-standard architecture with a rich variety of forms. The project serves a dual purpose: to create a one-of-a-kind performance space that merges architectur

Divisive transparency turned inwards, loose objects at the periphery – a glass house reversed, like a sock with a hole.

As climate instability reshapes design priorities, architecture is increasingly drawn into ecological debates not as a spectator but as a participant. Among the concepts gaining traction is rewilding, a practice rooted in the restoration of self-sustaining ecosystems through the reintroduction of biodiversity, the removal of barriers, and the rebalancing of human presence in the landscape. Though often associated with conservation biology, rewilding also opens up new spatial and architectural imaginaries — ones that challenge conventional notions of permanence, authorship, and use.

The site was located at the northern edge of the Kanto Plain, in an area with a mixture of town factories and agricultural rice field scenery. The land on which a large farmhouse had stood for many years and the hardwood thicket behind it together totaled about 2,000m². The young owner, who had moved to the area from the city, wanted to live on the entire lush green site, have a place to conduct a small business or send out messages to attract people from the area and be able to use the house well in the future when he moved to a new location. Therefore, we designed a house integrated with a semi-outdoor garden that would incorporate the site's rich nature, the surrounding environment, and local activities.

OMA has completed the JOMOO Headquarters in Xiamen, marking the first office campus for China's largest sanitaryware company. Situated at the edge of the city's central business district, the building reflects JOMOO's ongoing transformation into a global brand. The project was led by OMA Partner Chris van Duijn, alongside project architects Lingxiao Zhang and Chen Lu. According to Chris van Duijn, the headquarters is part of a broader trajectory in OMA's work across rapidly developing

African Flow: An architecture that educates for an emerging Africa - A kindergarten in Cameroon reimagines educational spaces by drawing on the principles of ancestral African architecture. Its educational approach fosters an emotional connection between children and the spaces that shape their daily activities in a fluid and intuitive way. Architects Vicente Guallart and Daniel Ibáñez have designed a low-tech building, working with local artisans and resources, using wood and rammed earth as a response to accelerated developmental pressures.

Studio Gang is an architecture and urban design practice founded in 1997 by Jeanne Gang and based in Chicago, with additional offices in New York, San Francisco, and Paris. Comprised of over 100 professionals, including architects, designers, and planners, the studio is known for its research-driven approach to de

Scandinavian design has long been admired for its minimalist aesthetic and functionality, which places value in the simple things, deeply rooted in the concept of Hygge. This reverence goes beyond interior design and extends also to the natural world, resulting in high-quality architecture and landscape installation design that enhances hum

This brick monolith is a direct reference to the emblematic buildings of sacred architecture found in the Toulouse region, particularly the "borde rouge" or "red house" typology. With its distinctive form, the building clearly signals its identity as a church—its bell tower, cross, and apse-like structure make it easily readable within the urban fabric. It stands not as an isolated monument, but as a fully integrated component of its surrounding suburban context, reflecting the very nature of the parish community it serves. The architectural and landscape choices were directly informed by its urban setting, constraints, and neighboring buildings.
