Dear PA reader,

SANAA has opened the Taichung Green Museumbrary in Taiwan, merging library, museum, and landscape into a single civic environment where architecture recedes to foreground public life and greenery. In Washington, construction on the White House ballroom has been halted, drawing attention to the ongoing tensions between political ambition, architectural intervention, and the stewardship of national heritage.

Bianca Censori’s BIO-POP contortionist furniture challenges conventional ergonomics by treating the human body not as a constraint, but as an active collaborator in form-making. Zaha Hadid Architects’ winning design for the new Malpensa Hospital proposes a fluid, data-informed healthcare environment shaped around adaptability, care, and future resilience. Adjaye Associates’ Barbados National Performing Arts Centre begins as a timber pavilion that functions both as a cultural venue and a permanent structural foundation, merging sustainability with long-term civic ambition.

A new PAACADEMY essay on generative design and cognitive architecture examines how AI is influencing not only architectural tools, but the mental frameworks through which designers make decisions.
