🌍 The latest in architecture and design, at a glance:

  • VAMIS is the world’s largest Grasshopper script, designed to automate and coordinate complex parametric architectural workflows across multiple modules.

  • Built in 1948, the Dover Sun House was America’s first solar-heated home, using south-facing glass panels and Glauber’s salt for thermal energy storage.

  • The Butterfly in Vancouver is a 57-storey mixed-use tower combining luxury residences, social housing, heritage restoration, and sky gardens with LEED Gold goals.

  • Selgascano’s Sijing Town Sports Center features a lantern-like structure enveloped by a translucent ETFE membrane for community sports activities.

  • LAVA’s Expo 2030 Riyadh Pavilion, called “Five Petals of Change,” uses petal-shaped elements to express themes of growth and transformation.

  • The Torch is ODA’s Supertall Addition to the Times Square Skyline.
