Projects is the place where we bring together the most inspiring stories in global architecture and design. From world-famous cultural landmarks and contemporary museums, to experimental pavilions, and everyday public spaces, this category showcases how architecture shapes the way we live, work, travel, and connect with one another. Each feature reveals how design is not only about form and aesthetics, but also about improving communities, celebrating culture, and responding to pressing challenges like climate change and urban growth.

Here you’ll discover a curated collection of architectural icons and hidden gems from across the world, projects that reveal the creativity, ambition, and problem-solving spirit of today’s architects, studios, and designers. Whether it’s sustainable housing, innovative urban planning, or digital fabrication in practice, each project opens a window into the evolving relationship between people, technology, and the built environment. This is where the future of architecture comes into focus, told through the works that inspire, provoke, and define our time.

Completed in December 2020, the URBAN BLOOM is a remodeling project of the Galleria Department Store, a landmark in Daejeon built in the 1990s. The project, designed by CA PLAN is located in Dunsan-dong, the central business district of Daejeon, which is surrounded with small and medium-scaled buildings with gray stones built during the rapid industrialization period. Dunsan-dong is the busiest downtown in Daejeon and a commercial center where many citizens visit.
