Architecture & Design brings together stories at the intersection of buildings, interiors, and objects. This section explores how creative thinking shapes everything from large-scale structures to the details that define how we live and work.
Here you’ll find projects that balance form and function, essays that trace design innovation, and features that reveal how architects and designers respond to materials, technology, and cultural shifts. From landmark architecture to everyday design solutions, this category captures the breadth of a field that continues to evolve across scales and disciplines.
The Elastic Architecture workshop, by PAACADEMY and ITKE, presented the architectural applications of material-driven deformation.
The World Architectural Festival (WAF) is an annual festival where designers and architects from all over the world gather and share ideas, seek inspiration, learn and interact, and exchange ideas with other architects globally.
Fashion-tech designers are becoming increasingly prevalent these days. They intend to design wearables that extend the human body by adding new functions and interacting with the environment. Tools like 3D printing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and digital manufacturing are among the latest advancements of technology that enable the design of these intelligent textiles.
Computational Design: NEXT 7.0, the two-day online conference with pioneering architects and designers from diverse disciplines, was held on the 11 and 12th of December 2021. The conference provided demonstrations on the latest issues regarding parametric and computational design. Various speakers and lecturers were invited to share their thoughts or current projects with a progressive approach to architectural matters from computational viewpoints.
Swarming Colonies is a generative design project and is one of the projects to come out of the DIGITAL ECOLOGY– GENERATIVE CITY studio workshop by PAACADEMY and tutored by Soomeen Hahm and Hanjun Kim. Designed by two talented students, Simina-Ioana and Deeksha Basawaraj, the project is rooted in a synergy of traditional Indian and Romanian patterns derived from traditional architecture of both countries and is envisioned within a dying coniferous forest situated in a post apocalyptic world by Simina- Loana Dimcea and Deeksha Basawaraj.
As Jean Nouvel rightly said, “Each New Situation Requires a New Architecture”, Parametric is the future, it truly is – The possible refinement of the design processes powered by digital processes has led to a rethinking of an engineer’s or designer’s approach to various application areas. Prototyping in architecture, parametric modelling software, and designing have all seen exquisite approaches in recent years that have come to be known as ‘Parametric Design.’
