Even a brick wants to be something.

Louis Kahn

Hello, design enthusiasts,

🖋️ One of the things I enjoy most about architecture is how every day brings a different perspective on design. Some stories remind us of the value of history and craftsmanship, while others reveal how technology continues to reshape the way we design, build, and experience our cities.

📰 In today’s edition, we’re looking at MVRDV’s new Urban Revivo flagship in Beijing, David Closes’ intervention at the Baroque Museum of Catalonia, Tesla’s new balance bike for kids, and the engineering behind Kuala Lumpur’s Merdeka 118.

🏭 We’re also exploring the timeless beauty of Iranian arches, ten remarkable projects by OMA, and ZHA’s lasting impact across the Middle East. Alongside these stories, don’t miss our upcoming free lecture with Fran Silvestre and our new BIM Masterclass with Charles Vidal, where AI and Revit automation take center stage.

🎓 If you’re looking to deepen your skills, PAACADEMY continues to expand with workshops on AI, BIM, computational design, visualization, and digital fabrication, created and taught by some of the world’s leading architects, designers, and industry experts.
