Dear PA reader,

Every year, World Architecture Day offers a moment to pause and reflect on the spaces that shape our lives, and 2025 is no exception. This year’s theme, “Design for Strength,” feels especially timely, as architects around the world grapple with questions of resilience, adaptability, and cultural legacy.

It also happens to coincide with Le Corbusier’s birthday, adding a layer of historical resonance to the moment. Our feature on Le Corbusier’s 10 Iconic Works That Shaped Modern Architecture revisits his most influential projects, tracing how his ideas continue to shape the way we live and how architecture evolves across time.

And in our broader roundup of 20 Architectural Masterpieces, we trace how a diverse array of landmark works across time and place carry on that evolving architectural dialogue.
