Dear PA reader,
The week unfolds with ideas that bend the familiar; shoes sprayed into being, AI models that understand physical reality, and structures that test the edges of air and earth…
In Tokyo, Swiss brand On is spraying the future into form with LightSpray™, a robotic process that builds shoes layer by layer, lighter, faster, and more sustainable.
The 18th Istanbul Biennale, running from September 20 to November 23, 2025, carries forward this ethos under the intriguing title "The Three-Legged Cat”, curated by Christine Tohmé.
Autodesk’s new AI models are reshaping design workflows, integrating machine learning into the architect’s everyday toolkit for documentation, modeling, and analysis.
