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.

3D-printed architecture has recently lent support to architecture by offering the new creative potential of efficiently eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive model-making procedures, increasing the sense of discovery throughout the design process, and expanding the frequency and complexity of the iterative process digital models into the actual physical artifact. Workflows seem to be more simplified. Research, concept design, and detail studies can all happen simultaneously, resulting in improved communication both internally and outside now.
Kengo Kuma and Associates provide a student center at the entrance of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, named Hisao & Hiroko Taki Plaza.
