Dear PA reader,

This week’s newsletter traces how education shapes architecture, through books, campuses, and the evolving ways we learn design.

In Frankfurt, the DAM Award for Architecture in Books 2025 spotlights ten works that reshape how we read and record design, from radical manifestos to intimate monographs. Peter Eisenman revisits Alberti in his latest book, translating Renaissance theory into the language of algorithms and form. And with PAACADEMY, Hamid Hassanzadeh continues to expand the frontier of parametric education, merging technology, discourse, and community.

Across campuses, a new generation of learning spaces takes form, modular, adaptive, and green-roofed. The Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center in New York exemplifies this vertical approach to learning.

From tracing the enduring legacy of the Bauhaus to rethinking what an architectural gap year can offer, this week’s stories explore how design evolves through study, experimentation, and the continuous exchange between past and future.
