Although The International Surface Event trade show this past January in Las Vegas focused on interior surfaces, it also featured plenty of options for artificial grass, exterior flooring and tile for outdoor kitchens, patios and pool areas. And the i…
Next in our Social Housing Revival series we examine Life Reusing Posidonia – a group of 14 dwellings on the Mediterranean island of Formentera designed by architects at the Balearic Social Housing Institute using locally sourced materials such as dried seagrass. Completed in 2017, Life Reusing Posidonia is a multi-award winning project consisting of 14

This 500 m2 workshop is located a stone’s throw from Place de la République in Paris. It constitutes a unit with the Béranger apartment project, also carried out by the agency. The latter is located in the building on the street. The project owners were looking for a location at the heart of Paris that would allow them to accommodate both their family and their company’s offices.
the apartments shift positions from floor to floor so that rooms in the vertical shafts belong to different owners.

Football club Fulham FC has unveiled renders of its Populous-designed Riverside Stand at its Craven Cottage stadium in London that show a rooftop swimming pool. Described as “a European football stadium first”, the rooftop pool overlooking the Thames forms part of the redevelopment of the Riverside stand for the Premier League football team. Designed by

An exhibition at Galerie Patrick Seguin in Paris allows visitors to experience the Jean Prouvé-designed Maison Les Jours Meilleurs in both real life and virtual reality. The gallery is exhibiting the most significant element of the demountable prefabricated house, its load-bearing service core, in a full-scale installation that doubles as a virtual reality (VR) experience.

This Indianapolis couple had experience in historic preservation and restoration from renovating their historic home. And as they and their two daughters outgrew it, they were game to do it again. After looking for about a year, they discovered a 1926…

Architecture studio Snøhetta has extended the Holmenkollen ski museum in Oslo with a glass entrance covered in 1,207 “meticulously placed” wooden battens. Situated at the base of the Holmenkollen ski jump, the extension has been built in celebration of the museum’s 100th anniversary. The building, which was founded in 1923, is the oldest ski museum in

When discussing sustainability in construction, we are used to an approach based on complex technological solutions, expensive sensors, costly materials and, most recently, artificial intelligence. But what if everything we are looking for (in terms of sustainability) could come from the materials themselves, taking advantage of their intrinsic properties, without even relying on electricity? The use of hygromorphic materials offers an innovative perspective and sheds light on little-explored possibilities in the field. These materials can adapt to variations in environmental humidity, changing their shape, size or other physical properties. Examples in nature include wood, hygroscopic proteins such as collagen, polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin, hygroscopic minerals such as certain salts and silica gel, as well as spores and pollen grains; all of which exhibit the ability to absorb or release moisture in response to changes in humidity. In architecture, researchers have been striving to develop materials, particularly for façades, that can take on a life of their own and make buildings more comfortable naturally.
