Riyadh’s 176-kilometre new metro opens this weekend, taking the title of the world’s longest driverless transit system.

The station’s concrete lattice facade is inspired by the patterns of desert sands and designed to reduce solar gain while nodding to the region’s vernacular architecture. The building has achieved a LEED Gold rating from the US Green Building Council.

New Delft Blue is a pioneering architectural project located in Delft, Netherlands, designed and 3D-printed by Studio RAP. This project reinterprets the iconic decorative qualities and design vocabulary of Delft Blue porcelain, integrating traditional elements with modern technological advancements.

By combining 3D clay printing, computational design, and artisanal glazing, the project explores new possibilities for ceramic ornamentation in contemporary architecture.

‘Where’s House Warehouse’ by pbm Architects defies typical warehouse stereotypes with an ethereal design in Bangkok. The architects crafted a multi-use space blending office and storage functions. Its facade, made of glass cuboids, breaks the monotony of industrial contexts. The concept evolved from merging living, working, and storage areas seamlessly, fostering interaction and fluidity.

ARCHITECTURE & DANCE

https://www.sky-frame.com/en/sky-frame-world/stories/metamorphosis/

Architecture opens up new perspectives, leads the eye across endless expanses and gives a deep sense of absolute freedom. In the Cole Residence, a fantastically situated estate high above Los Angeles, these qualities merge together. A dance transports the audience to another world.

Situated above the Hollywood Hills, the Cole Residence embodies all of this in a unique location. Contemporary dance is utilised to bring this transformative sense of freedom to life. The oversized Sky-Frame windows provide the perfect context for a dance performance that dynamically showcases the unique building and its surroundings. Moved and inspired by the boundlessness of the ever-expanding glass front, a mythical figure slips out of its cocoon during the dance, breaks free and transforms itself. The boundaries between outside and inside become blurred and the protective shell of the house opens up to the landscape and the sky.

The architecture of the buildings we live in influences how we perceive our environment, how we move around in it and how we shape it. A view, not a window.
