3D-Printed Coral Earrings

Read today’s standout stories redefining design at Parametric Architecture!

For today’s edition, we’ve got a bundle of interesting articles, insights, and trends just for you. Let’s take a look:

  • 3D printing meets jewelry design with JK3D’s Coralea Series—a stunning collection of coral-inspired earrings that push the limits of digital fabrication.

  • In Sharjah, the Wasit Wetland Center turns a once-degraded landscape into a thriving nature reserve, proving that architecture can work with, not against, the environment.

  • Ever thought about how video games and architecture tell stories in similar ways? Embedded narrative in games and architecture explores the deep connection between digital and built spaces.

  • Brutalism—it’s bold, raw, and impossible to ignore. These ten Brutalist utopias show how concrete-heavy designs shaped cities and still inspire debate today.
