Celebrate Frank Lloyd Wright’s birthday and his lasting influence on biophilic design and nature-inspired architecture.Dear PA Reader,

On the birthday of Frank Lloyd Wright, we celebrate a visionary whose ideas continue to shape the future of architecture and design.

A shelter inspired by the baobab tree is transforming lemur welfare at Morelia Zoo through biomimetic design and parametric design, while Palma + TO’s museum in Panama showcases how local materials, passive design, and urban context can shape meaningful cultural spaces.

In India, LIJO.RENY.architects have wrapped a retreat house in Kerala with handcrafted brickwork, creating a contemporary yet rooted design. At the same time, UNS’ renewal of Nijmegen’s Valkhof Museum show how thoughtful restoration can give a celebrated building a new life three decades after its completion.

Creativity continues to bridge architecture, culture, and popular imagination. From LEGO’s 12,060-piece Sagrada Família set and the excitement surrounding every FIFA World Cup 2026 stadium to explorations of dystopian architecture and Kalu Putik’s couture made from discarded waste, design is finding new ways to connect heritage, sustainability, and the future.

Dynamic Wearables for Fashion Design 2.0

This 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.

Building Performance with Forma & Opossum

This workshop introduces a comprehensive workflow that bridges the gap between rigorous environmental data, advanced parametric modeling, and final aesthetic presentation. The course utilizes powerful suite of tools, including the Autodesk Forma Rhino plugin, Ladybug, Honeybee, and Cyclops. The workshop is scheduled for June 13 & 14, 2026.
