Dear PA reader,

In Dubai, the Mercedes-Benz Places City project imagines a vertical branded district rising above the skyline, merging automotive identity with urban living in an unusually large-scale built vision. In South Korea, BIG’s Ulsan Performing Arts Venue pairs two sweeping architectural “ribbons” to stitch a cultural complex into the city and riverside landscape. Snøhetta’s Beijing Library, recently honored with multiple design awards, reframes the library as a communal ground where terraced interior landscapes and glass-lined spaces link nature with knowledge.

The renovated Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid has been transformed through major structural engineering, a retractable roof, new hospitality and event spaces, and a striking stainless steel façade to become a multi-purpose landmark beyond football. In Doha, architect Lina Ghotmeh’s phased expansion of the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art is reconfiguring the campus to blend exhibition, research, studios, and conversation spaces.
