Dear PA Reader,

Temple architecture inspires Paris Haute Couture Fall 2026, where Rahul Mishra reimagines sacred forms through couture, while Iris van Herpen's plasma-powered dress and the legacy of Buckminster Fuller celebrate innovation across fashion and architecture.

Material experimentation continues with 10 Pavilion Designs of 2026, Goya Tower's elephant dung bricks, and innovative zoo architecture that redefine sustainability, biodiversity, and contemporary design.

Additionally, FIFA World Cup 2026 infrastructure highlights essential lessons for future host cities, as Egypt's The Octagon showcases the scale and ambition of next-generation institutional architecture.

BIM Masterclass: Data Automation in Revit & Claude

The focus is the everyday information problems of architectural and BIM projects, building typologies such as offices, healthcare, and mixed-use, where room programs, specifications, and model quality all matter. The whole workshop follows one sample project that you progressively enrich, so every step builds toward a single finished result rather than disconnected exercises. The workshop is scheduled for Sep 5 & 6, 2026.

Dynamic Wearables for Fashion Design 2.0

This workshop expands the logic of dynamic wearables from jewelry-scale precision into garment-scale body systems, teaching students how to generate, map, segment, and fabricate computational designs that move between ornament, accessory, and fashion. The workshop is scheduled for July 18 & 19, 2026.
