Taiyuan Botanical Garden was initiated to fulfill the desire of transforming a former coal-mining area into a landscape park that functions not only as an essential model for landscape design but also provides access and information about natural ecosystems by including a building infrastructure that can be used for research.

Fashion-tech designers are becoming increasingly prevalent these days. They intend to design wearables that extend the human body by adding new functions and interacting with the environment. Tools like 3D printing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and digital manufacturing are among the latest advancements of technology that enable the design of these intelligent textiles.

Kengo Kuma and Associates provide a student center at the entrance of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, named Hisao & Hiroko Taki Plaza. The project is a partially underground structure hidden with wooden bleachers. The reason behind this approach is to preserve views of the campus clock tower that is Tokyo’s oldest building and the landmark of the campus. Indeed, the project aims to serve as the new landmark student center inspired by the clock tower.

Computational Design: NEXT 7.0, the two-day online conference with pioneering architects and designers from diverse disciplines, was held on the 11 and 12th of December 2021. The conference provided demonstrations on the latest issues regarding parametric and computational design. Various speakers and lecturers were invited to share their thoughts or current projects with a progressive approach to architectural matters from computational viewpoints.

As NFTs pushed back the boundaries of the marketplace in multidisciplinary fields over the past two years, providing a unique platform for artists who crave to exhibit their work, we felt the urge to delve into the world of NFT and clarify it for you on our Youtube channel. Hope you will enjoy the video above.

3D-printed architecture has recently lent support to architecture by offering the new creative potential of efficiently eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive model-making procedures, increasing the sense of discovery throughout the design process, and expanding the frequency and complexity of the iterative process digital models into the actual physical artifact. Workflows seem to be more simplified. Research, concept design, and detail studies can all happen simultaneously, resulting in improved communication both internally and outside now.

The Thalassic Masks project, designed by artists Filippo Nassetti and Vincenzo Reale, in collaboration with Stratasys, Empa, Haratech, and Creative Region Linz, focuses on rethinking the protective mask, transforming a medical product, born in a state of emergency, into a design statement expressing contemporary identities.
