This workshop teaches you to turn design ideas into clear, professional, portfolio-ready Visuals.
Delivered in March 2026 as part of the emblematic “Jardins Secrets” development, this residential project by Vincent Callebaut and Vincent Callebaut Architectures introduces two bioclimatic residential buildings into the heart of Montpellier’s Cité Créative. Located on the historic grounds of the former École d’Application de l’Infanterie (EAI), the project brings together Théia for Bouygues Immobilier and Opale & Sens for Vestia Groupe, creating a total of 113 residential units, including 28 affordable homes representing 25% of the overall development. Awarded First Prize in the 2021 competition launched by the City of Montpellier, the project reflects a new model of Mediterranean…
The electrical industry is evolving rapidly as new technologies, smart systems, and energy solutions reshape how projects are designed and installed. Recent workforce reports indicate that more than 40 percent of electrical contractors say technical advancements have significantly changed their daily tasks. As a result, modern electricians need a broader set of skills that go beyond traditional wiring. Understanding these skills is essential for staying competitive and delivering high-quality work. Many professionals stay informed by following electrical contracting news, including trusted publications such as Electrical Contractor Magazine (ECmag), to understand new tools, safety updates, and project trends. Learning what other…
Long before domes and palaces defined Dresden’s skyline, it was a modest Slavic settlement along the Elbe River, a trading node shaped by geography. Its transformation came in the early 18th century, when Augustus the Strong set out to recast the city as a seat of power. What followed was an act of image-making. Dresden was envisioned as a Baroque capital, where architecture could project authority, wealth, and culture. But this staged identity did not survive for long. The Bombing of Dresden marked a violent break, collapsing centuries of architecture into a field of ruins. When reconstruction began, it did…
In 1929, American medicine faced a quiet but significant structural crisis. Doctors and hospitals were genuinely committed to care, yet their reach remained limited. Healthcare largely operated on a “pay-as-you-go” model, making access a privilege rather than a public good. Hospitals were often seen either as almshouses for the poor or as last resorts for the wealthy, while the growing middle class found quality healthcare increasingly out of reach—not because of a lack of medical expertise, but because there was no effective system to deliver it at scale. Then came a modest agreement between Dallas schoolteachers and Baylor University Hospital:…
With the rapid rise of AI and emerging digital tools reshaping architectural practice, the gap between traditional education and real-world industry demands has become increasingly visible. PAACADEMY 2.0 directly responds to this shift, making its update significant as it repositions learning to align with how designers now think, work, and communicate in a technology-driven environment. PAACADEMY 2.0 emerges as a bridge between education and practice, setting a more adaptive standard for future-ready digital design learning. As workflows evolve and expectations accelerate, the platform introduces a more intuitive and intelligent direction that reflects the changing nature of architectural and computational design.…
Brighton & Hove Albion have announced plans to build Europe’s first purpose-built women’s football stadium, marking a significant step in the growth and professionalisation of the women’s game. The proposed venue will have an initial capacity of around 10,000 seats and is expected to open in time for the 2030–31 season, subject to planning approval. The stadium will be constructed next to the club’s existing American Express Stadium and is part of a wider long-term investment strategy in women’s football. It will be linked to the main ground and designed specifically for female athletes, with tailored facilities such as upgraded…
Reframing the Pantheon through Roman spatial order and subterranean archaeology, STARTT’s intervention responds to the need for controlled public access and a clearer interpretation of the monument’s complex underground layers, without compromising its fragile historic fabric. The project introduces new visitor routes and archaeological access through a non-invasive design approach, opening up previously concealed strata beneath one of Rome’s most studied structures, while treating the Pantheon as a continuously evolving historical field. The Pantheon stands as a synthesis of Greek formal language and Roman engineering precision. Over centuries, it has been interpreted as an architectural icon and an urban artifact…

How can architecture confront the dimension of the dream? The course in Architecture for Hospitality, a project by Cesare Roversi, aims to train new generations of expert designers in translating the most diverse receptive concepts into as many architectural designs, placing themselves in a sector rich in resources and growing opportunities. With this in mind, Yacademy envisioned an extensive program including special lectures, teaching modules, workshops, and visits focusing on diverse aspects of hospitality, creating accommodation facilities to escape from the ordinary. At the end of the course, students will acquire the ability to generate the right atmosphere and ensure…
