Dear PA reader,

Saudi Arabia is advancing preparations for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, revealing 15 new stadiums planned across five cities as part of a large-scale investment in sports and urban infrastructure. Apple has introduced its M5 chip, emphasizing performance and efficiency gains that are expected to influence creative and AI-focused industries.

Tehran’s new Holy Virgin Mary Metro Station, combines a transit upgrade with a gesture of religious inclusivity. Architect Xu Tiantian has been named the winner of the 2026 Le Prix Charlotte Perriand, recognizing her commitment to socially responsive and context-based design.

In Reutlingen, Germany, Wulf Architekten’s Museum Historische Oberamteistraße merges timber and glass to create a dialogue between contemporary design and historic preservation. Rounding out the selection, Figure 03, a humanoid robot, introduces new possibilities in adaptive robotics and the role of human interaction in design technology.
