  05-11-2026 08:30 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Cabins offer architects opportunities to experiment playfully with architectural form, materials, landscaping, and spatial configurations. Their compact footprints, relatively simple programs, and close proximity to the natural surroundings allow for unconventional design approaches and the ability to test experiential, architectural ideas. Often constructed as spaces of rest, cabin architecture encourages architects to prioritize the experience of inhabiting a space, exploring how individual de

  A House in the Green – Nestled between residential buildings and mature trees stood a small former production hall.

• What AI Reveals About Architecture That Was Never Built

  05-11-2026 07:45 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Some architectural projects only survive as drawings, competition entries, or models in archives. Others were built, but not as first imagined, and the completed building gradually replaced the original proposal in collective memory. Christopher Wren's St. Paul's Cathedral is familiar to many, but less well known is his Warrant Design, the spire-topped proposal approved in 1675 that he subsequently reworked as construction progressed. London was also once offered a very different monument: Thoma

• Milan’s New San Siro Stadium and the BIAU’s 12 Awarded Projects: This Week’s Review

  05-11-2026 06:30 via ArchDaily Global
  
  This week started with World Cities Day, which this year, in line with World Architecture Day, was an occasion to spotlight deficient access to adequate housing, secure tenure, basic services, and affordable living conditions worldwide. Once again, we are faced with a call to approach architecture and urban design differently, making design a social tool rather than merely a market tool. Examples of sensible approaches can be seen in this week's announcements: waste-based materials, adaptive reu

• Bringing Hospitality-Inspired Textures into Workplace Interiors

The warmth of wood, the texture of leather, and the tactile surfaces found in hotels and restaurants are also sought in offices, airports, and shared corridors. Bringing these qualities into different settings, however, requires considering how materials will respond to everyday use.

As the territory transitioned toward independence, it adopted two symbols of its emerging id

  Set on the gentle hillside of Khao Phra Tamnak, the house is conceived through a flexible design diagram rather than a predetermined architectural form. The project begins with the conditions of the place and the lives to be accommodated: a gradual change in land level, the family's need for generous and usable flat spaces, the principles of Feng Shui, and the presence of neighboring homes. These factors are not treated as separate constraints. They are brought together in a framework that can b

• Homes Around Trees / architectureRED

  05-11-2026 03:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Urban housing in India stands at the intersection of rapid urbanization and a shifting sense of identity. The pressures of land scarcity and market-driven development have transformed housing into a commodity, often prioritizing maximum yield over the fundamental idea of home. In the process, the very essence of housing—as a space that fosters identity, community, and rootedness — is increasingly eroded. The relentless stacking of units, the erasure of open space, and the homogenization of u
