Dear PA reader,

Designing the future with wood architecture shows how natural materials can redefine modern spaces, while 8 iconic works by Santiago Calatrava reveal sculptural forms that merge art and function. Exploring living architecture raises the question of whether buildings can adapt dynamically to their surroundings, engineering of High Line Bangkok, and the power of geometry in shaping architectural facades turns every surface into a visual and structural statement.

At the intersection of history and mindful design, tracing Istanbul’s history through İlber Ortaylı’s 13-step route inspires culturally rich interventions. Nordic design principles craft calm, conscious spaces that prioritize people and planet, and lessons from climate-responsive architecture teach adaptability and environmental harmony. Together, these approaches redefine how we create buildings that are functional, sustainable, and deeply human-centered.

Designing the Future with Wood Architecture

Can We Design Responsive Buildings Through Living Architecture?

3D-Printed Wall Systems

This workshop focuses on the design of bespoke, production-ready interior wall systems. Participants will investigate how a simple 2D concept can be translated into a fully articulated 3D textured surface through algorithmic logic. The workshop is scheduled for April 18 & 19, 2026.

Dynamic Wearables for Fashion Design

This workshop is perfect for designers interested in developing their skills in parametric design at the body scale. Using Grasshopper allows us to design jewelry built specifically for additive manufacturing and to create the most intricate geometries, internal structures, and interlocking forms. The workshop is scheduled for April 4 & 5, 2026.
