Dear PA Reader,
With a fresh perspective on Frank Lloyd Wright to the Top 10 AI platforms for architects in 2026, innovation continues to shape the future of design. Discover how origami-inspired architecture transforms simple folds into extraordinary buildings, proving that timeless ideas and emerging technologies can coexist.
Europe's extreme temperatures are raising urgent questions for the built environment. Explore how the Omega Block weather pattern is fueling record-breaking heatwaves and why the 2026 European heatwaves highlight the growing need for climate-resilient architecture and urban planning.
The Sharjah Architecture Triennial 2026 has unveiled its participants, while Carlo Ratti Associati and Park have secured the winning proposal for Brescia's Hospital of the Future. Completing the lineup is the Alpine x Lacoste A290 Rallye, an electric rally car that blends performance, sustainability, and distinctive design.
🚀 If you are looking to learn about computational design, PAACADEMY offers everything you need under one Full-Access membership. Be sure to check it out!

 Dynamic Wearables for Fashion Design 2.0This workshop expands the logic of dynamic wearables from jewelry-scale precision into garment-scale body systems, teaching students how to generate, map, segment, and fabricate computational designs that move between ornament, accessory, and fashion. The workshop is scheduled for July 18 & 19, 2026. |  Hybrid Modeling with ZBrushThis workshop explores hybrid digital modeling workflows by integrating sculptural, parametric, and hard-surface design techniques. Centered around ZBrush as the primary tool, participants will develop intricate high-resolution geometries by bridging multiple software environments, including Adobe Illustrator and Rhinoceros 3D. The workshop is scheduled for July 11 & 12, 2026. |
