• David Sequeira on colour, form and time

  10-02-2026 04:56 via indesignlive.com
  The established, Indian-born Melbourne-based artist and curator is widely known for his emboldened studies of colour and form. His fashion performance pieces extend this passionate language.

  10-02-2026 04:18 via indesignlive.com
  Having opened in late 2025, Melbourne Metro Tunnel gained significant attention even beyond our beloved realm of design media. Likewise, Sydney Metro.

• Keiji Ashizawa Design transforms historic Singapore restaurant

  10-02-2026 00:57 via indesignlive.com
  The view out of the windows at Loca Nicu is spectacular – and it is not because of any kind of panoramic scenery. Rather, the openings – accompanied by timber shutters painted a blood-red colour – frame the chromatic roofscapes of the House of Tan Yeok Nee within which the restaurant is located.One of these details is a band of ceramic horses galloping in frozen motion across the roof’s da ji (or main ridge), among other imagery. It is a fitting representation of the Japa

  Renacer de Chamanga Community House / Actuemos Ecuador © KliwadenkonovasCan architecture be built from food? Between the fire that warms, the smells that spread, and the bodies that gather around the table, the apparent banality of cooking and eating reveals itself as a choreographed dance of spatial appropriation and belonging.

Image via Carlos Reis Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0Many of the spatial ideas we now associate with contemporary architecture, collective use, and bodily experience did not originate in buildings alone. In Latin America, these ideas were often explored first through art, at a moment when artists were actively questioning how space could be occupied, shared, and experienced beyond traditional forms.During the mid-20th century, the region
