• Heritage in Motion: Bangkok’s Buildings That Continue to Become

  12-02-2026 08:30 via archdaily.com
  Bangkok Kunsthalle. Image © Jonathan YeungArchitectural heritage is not only what a building was, but what it continues to become: a long process of building, rebuilding, and re-occupying over time. Where opportunities allow, this continuity produces a layered condition—one in which visitors can witness, experience, and feel the gradual shifting of a building's fabric, materiality, spatial order, and patterns of use, and occasionally even participate in that transformation.Yet many pr

• When Light Meets Energy in Glass Ceilings

  12-02-2026 07:45 via archdaily.com
  Courtesy of LamiluxFrom the large industrial roofs and galleries of the 19th century to the contemporary atriums of museums and public buildings, glass has been a recurring material in shaping large and monumental interior spaces. More than a technological or engineering solution, these horizontal glazed planes introduce a distinct luminous quality: light that comes from above. Unlike lateral daylight entering through façades, zenithal light is more evenly distributed, reduces harsh shado

• Playful and Ironic: The Legacy of Postmodernist Architecture in the United States

  12-02-2026 05:00 via archdaily.com
  Franklin Court, Philadelphia / Venturi Scott Brown. Image © Mark CohnPostmodernism in the United States turned architecture into a stage for cultural memory, irony, and heritage at a moment when the built environment was becoming less civic and more commercial and curated. By the late twentieth century, architectural investment no longer centered on monumental public institutions or shared federal commitment to civic space. Private development, corporate expansion, and consumer environments

  From Studio 54 to the birth of the boutique hotel, Schrager’s legacy lies in creating places that feel social, immersive and alive. With Mondrian Gold Coast, that philosophy arrives in Australia, translated through the coastal sensibility of Burleigh Heads by Fraser & Partners and developer Vitale Group.Rather than leaning into the polished excess often associated with luxury on the Gold Coast, the project proposes a quieter, more tactile idea of indulgence.

• R.Evolution: Plus Studio completes nine-year vision for South Melbourne

The 40-storey tower, currently under construction on Normanby Road, concludes a landmark story of urban renewal grounded in materiality and sustain

• Druzhba Sanatorium: A Soviet Monument Suspended Between Earth and Sea

  11-02-2026 08:30 via archdaily.com
  © Dimant under a CC licensePerched above the cliffs of Crimea, the Druzhba Thermal Sanatorium appears less as a building than as a landed spacecraft. Its circular forms, suspended decks, and spiraling ramps evoke a scene from Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972), where architecture and psychology merge into a single landscape. Built between 1978 and 1985 by Igor Vasilevsky, the complex was conceived as a thermal resort for workers of the oil industry, part of the Soviet Union's extensive netwo
