• Architectures of Movement: 6 Unbuilt Transport Structures from the ArchDaily Community

  06-11-2026 08:30 via ArchDaily Global
  
  The idea of transportation infrastructure tends to be more hostile than interesting: spaces of transit, of constant encounters with strangers, places that no one seems to claim. These structures organize movement and provide spaces that often operate around the clock. The unbuilt projects below push back against this notion of a no-man's-land, proposing infrastructure as an object of architecture. Located in Iran, Montenegro, the Canary Islands, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea,

• Building "Reservoirs of Hope" in Future Cities: Lessons from Utopian Hours 2026

  06-11-2026 05:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Utopia is commonly understood as an imagined ideal society or place where political, social, and living conditions are fundamentally different from those of the present.

Amid the ongoing challenges that cities face today — climate crisis, pollution, soaring land prices, aging popu

  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
