For today’s edition, we’ve got a bundle of interesting articles, insights, and trends just for you. Let’s take a look:

  • Mies van der Rohe’s philosophy of “less is more” still shapes modern design. This deep dive explores how his minimalist approach redefined 20th-century architecture.

  • The Bauhaus movement was more than just a school—it was a design revolution. Here’s how its legacy still influences architecture, art, and everyday objects.

  • Tensile structures are changing how we build, creating lightweight, flexible designs that push the limits of material and form.

  • What happens when data and design come together? Parametric design in urban planning is shaping smarter, more adaptable cities with algorithm-driven solutions

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe: The Minimalist of the 20th Century

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe was a German Architect born in Aachen in 1886 amidst several architectural movements and ideologies that were evolving at the time.

Exploring the Legacy of the Bauhaus: A journey Through Art, Architecture, and Design

The 1923 Bauhaus Exhibition in Weimar showcased the movement’s innovative blend of art, design, and architecture, influencing global creativity for over a decade.

Generative Architecture with AI (SD+FLUX)

Learn how to refine AI workflows and explore cutting-edge Generative AI applications being developed at MVRDV, one of the top innovative architectural firms. The workshop is scheduled for March 29 – 30, 2025.

Fusing Realities: AI-Driven Architectural Narratives

Leveraging state-of-the-art AI tools, this workshop will teach participants how to transform traditional 3D models into dynamic visual and interactive narratives. The workshop is scheduled for February 22 & 23, 2025.

Tensile Structures: Reshaping Architecture with Their Transformative Design Potential

Tensile structures have emerged as a new and exciting way to create large-scale, innovative designs that are both visually stunning and highly functional.

Applications of Parametric Design in Urban Planning

Urban planning requires innovative approaches like parametric design, which moves away from traditional static methods to better address the dynamic complexities of growing cities through flexible, data-driven, and collaborative strategies.

From Bamboo to Mycelium: 10 Sustainable Construction Materials

Sustainable materials like bamboo and mycelium are revolutionizing construction by reducing environmental impact and promoting eco-friendly communities.

10 Websites Where You Can Find Free and High-Quality 2D Elements

Architects and designers rely on 2D elements like people, trees, and animals to enhance project presentations. These 10 websites offer free, high-quality resources for gathering such visuals.

Architectural Visualization by Using Game Engines

Architects rely on visualization to communicate designs, and by using game engines and modeling software, we can create stylish and realistic visuals to enhance our presentations and bridge the gap with contractors.

10 Textile and Material Libraries for 3D Architectural Modeling

Material libraries in 3D modeling software allow architects and designers to easily experiment with textures, finishes, and objects, enhancing creativity and efficiency in visualizing designs.

Parametric Explorations of Suggestive Design

This workshop covers parametric design in Grasshopper 3D, focusing on techniques like graph mapping and loop design to create dynamic geometries. The workshop is scheduled for March 8 & 9, 2025.

3D-Printing Concrete: Sketch to real-scale prototype

In this workshop, participants will learn how to approach the 3D printing process from the actual design to the final print. The result of the workshop will be a segment of the load-bearing facade with data ready for 3D printing. The workshop is scheduled for March 1 & 2, 2025.
