Dear PA reader,

In Hong Kong, a high-rise fire at a residential complex under renovation sparks a citywide safety review, as authorities investigate the role of flammable construction materials. One of LA’s most iconic mid-century homes, the Stahl House, lands on the market, offering a rare chance to own a piece of architectural mythology with a view.

Abu Dhabi’s forthcoming Natural History Museum readies to welcome 13.8-billion-year-old stories beneath its sand-colored, fossil-like roof. The Ismaili Center in Houston opens its doors as a cultural anchor designed by Farshid Moussavi, weaving Islamic design with Texan generosity.

MVRDV’s newly revealed “The Island” in Taichung is a sculpted 21-story vertical garden, where Gaudí-inspired mosaics meet climate-conscious design, featuring salvaged materials, lush planted balconies, and communal spaces.
