Dear PA reader,

3D printing is transforming home design, giving architects tools for innovative architecture and sustainable construction. Renowned Japanese architect Junya Ishigami has been honored with the 2026 Brunner Prize, recognizing his visionary contributions to contemporary architecture and design that push the boundaries of space, materiality, and structural expression. Projects like PETTI Restaurant by Wallmakers showcase climate-responsive design and modular, digitally fabricated structures.  

Beyond homes, architects and designers are also shaping large-scale urban landmarks with projects like the Colosseum Southern Ambulatory restoration, Mexico’s Azteca Stadium reopening, and Liverpool’s 70-storey waterfront skyscraper. Playful design concepts, inspired by interactive digital experiences like GamePop Tetris, help in reducing screen time. Additionally, the joint U.S.–Israel airstrikes on Iran have caused widespread civilian and cultural damage, hitting thousands of homes, hospitals, and heritage sites and prompting international concern over the destruction of civilian infrastructure and historic buildings.
