• Framing Natural Light: Five Daylighting Strategies in Cabin Architecture

  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

• 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

  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

  05-11-2026 06:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  "We can really bring a hospitality look into a workplace, which is something that our clients have been asking for, for many years," says Mark Harder, a design director at Gensler. 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.

  Located on the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is a small country with an intriguing history. It is bordered by Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the west and south, with the Caribbean Sea along its eastern edge.

  05-11-2026 04:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  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

  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

  Living immersed in nature. House and nature are conceived as an indissoluble entity. Designed as a weekend refuge for the architect herself and her dog "Coco," the project synthesizes her personal quest to live immersed in nature. This search began with the idea of carefully integrating the volume with the existing vegetation and connecting it precisely to the natural terrain. In this way, the house harmoniously adapts to the steep slope, merging with it and becoming an integral part of the land

• Human-Centered Design: How does design shape the way we live, feel, and connect?

  04-11-2026 10:15 via ArchDaily Global
  
  To say that we design "for people" seems like a fundamental premise of architecture. However, this statement presents a problem: people are not a homogeneous category.
  Human-Centered Design invites us to question whom we observe, listen to, and represent when making design decisions. Through an interdisciplinary conversation, we will explore how physical, sensory, and social needs influence architecture and interior design, and how these shape our way of living, feeling, and connecting.

• The Invisible Brief: How Laboratory Needs Shape Research Buildings

  A floor that feels solid may still be moving. Vibrations travel through the ground and across buildings, often at levels too small for people to notice. Most have little effect on everyday activities, but in some research laboratories, instruments measuring matter at the nanoscale can register movements this small, and even traffic several miles away can interfere with an experiment.
