Architecture is, at its core, the pursuit of form, space, and structure. This section explores how architects conceive, design, and build, from iconic museums and high-rise towers to adaptive reuse projects and intimate houses. Each feature brings forward the technical and creative dimensions of the discipline: material experimentation, structural systems, construction technologies, and the evolution of typologies that define how we inhabit space.

Here you will find in-depth studies of projects that test the limits of geometry, embrace sustainable design strategies, and refine the dialogue between past and future. Whether it’s parametric façades, modular housing, timber engineering, or the restoration of architectural heritage, this is where design practice comes into focus. For readers seeking architecture news, case studies, and the latest global projects, this section captures how the discipline continues to shape itself through precision, craft, and innovation.

The Bund Finance Centre is a prominent new mixed-use development close to the Shanghai waterfront and has been designed jointly by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio. Occupying a prominent site on the Bund, the buildings define the ‘end point’ to Shanghai’s most famous street. The masterplan is highly permeable for pedestrians, with the design conceived as a point of connection between the old town and the new financial district.
