Dear PA reader,

GPT-5.2-Codex is the latest release from OpenAI designed specifically to support real-world software engineering and defensive cybersecurity tasks. While the Jeddah Tower’s ascent to 80 floors signals renewed momentum for the world’s tallest building.

⭐ PA’s Top 20 Favored Projects of 2025 offers a revealing index of what has genuinely resonated this year.

Christian de Portzamparc’s petal-inspired House of Dior in Beijing translates haute couture into architectural form, as Kéré Architecture’s Museum Ehrhardt marks the firm’s first museum in Europe with a climate-aware and contextually grounded approach. Across the discipline, growing interest in smart materials and modular architecture reflects a shift toward buildings that sense, adapt, and are efficiently assembled, positioning material intelligence and system design at the center of contemporary architectural experimentation.

🚀 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!
