📌Sino Palace, by Guangzhou S.P.I Design Co., establishes a new architectural identity for the city, one that bridges history, culture, and modernity. Drawing from the paradigm of Chinese modern art, the entrance design reinterprets the Louvre’s glass pyramid through the structural language of ancient bamboo scroll binding, resulting in a space that unites East and West, ancient and contemporary. The 100-meter cascading waterfall enhances this ceremonial axis, creating a meditative transition between the city and the community while emphasizing the relationship between architecture, landscape, and cultural memory. The project showcases remarkable craftsmanship and environmental sensitivity. Over 2,000 custom-made glass tiles and 187,000 hand-chiseled Binzhou bluestones were crafted and installed with meticulous precision, involving teams of artisans and technical specialists. A conical water curtain wall was engineered to maintain a seamless flow, demonstrating a commitment to both visual impact and water efficiency. Designed to endure, the materials and techniques used speak to a larger vision, where architectural innovation honors tradition, and sustainability is embedded into every detail. ✨ Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricArchitecture #SinoPalace #ChineseModernArt #ContemporaryArchitecture #UrbanLandmark #ArchitecturalDesign #CulturalArchitecture

🌿 Chicken Hero Pavilion by @radarchitects | Built in the hilly garden of Urban Forest Jakarta, this 900 m² pavilion takes a direct, hands-on approach to tackling food waste through backyard poultry farming. Designed as a public space and working prototype, the tunnel-like structure, nicknamed “The Chicken Coop”, offers inclusive access to education and entertainment while showing how local food systems can work. With Indonesia facing serious food loss challenges, the project turns organic waste from nearby restaurants into chicken bedding, compost, and fresh eggs, reconnecting communities with food production in a simple, effective way. Made with reclaimed bamboo and passive design strategies, the pavilion was active for four weeks, processing food waste, creating compost every three days, and distributing 40 eggs daily to the same restaurants. It’s not just about architecture, it’s about sparking small, local systems that reduce reliance on centralized sustainability models. RAD+ar’s pavilion questions how cities and neighborhoods can produce less waste, more food, and stronger local networks, all while creating a space where people and chickens share more than just ground. 📸 @mariowibowo_ , @andhyprayitno 📌 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricArchitecture #CircularDesign #RADar #ChickenHero #FoodWasteSolutions #ArchitectureForCommunities

🌫️ Little Shelter, designed by the Department of Architecture Co., is a hospitality project located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Completed in 2019, the project is a quiet yet memorable example of how contemporary architecture can respectfully reinterpret tradition. The building, located along the riverbank in the historic centre of the city, gently transforms the familiar regional style of Northern Thailand, which includes wooden buildings with pitched shingle roofs. Inspired by the traditional hip roof, its asymmetrical roof form is a continuation of the nearby treetop line. The west side of the roof has been cut out to create a deck, which provides a wide-angle view of the river at dusk. The building’s form and use of traditional materials, such as wood shingles laid in the traditional fish-scale pattern, which has preserved Northern Thai roofs’ water resistance for centuries, give it a sense of permanence. Little Shelter is particularly captivating as it quietly challenges that tradition. The river-facing façade is made entirely of polycarbonate shingles, which are cut to precisely match the size of the wood, giving it a translucent surface that captures and filters sunlight all day long, while the side walls and roof still have the warmth and texture of wood. By combining solid and translucent shingles in a decreasing gradient, the entrance facade occurs one step further. The shingle system keeps its visual integrity with the help of specially made transparent studs and screws. As a result, the building has a soft nighttime glow and a glowing surface that changes with the natural lighting in the daytime and artificial lighting at night. 📸 @wworkspace 🚀 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricArchitecture #ArchitecturalDesign #DepartmentOfArchitectureCo #CraftedArchitecture #ThaiArchitecture #HospitalityDesign #ContextualDesign

🎋Pavilion of Clouds is an award-winning 120m² bamboo structure located at the heart of Beijing Forestry University’s campus. Designed by @sup_atelier in collaboration with the university’s faculty and students for the 2018 Bamboo Garden Festival, the pavilion takes inspiration from natural forms, with a flowing, cloud-like silhouette that responds to its forested surroundings. The pavilion opens to its surroundings through carefully placed entrances that align with existing trees, pathways, and stone memorials. A central skylight allows daylight to filter into the space, reinforcing its relationship with the environment. Curved bamboo elements were prefabricated based on digital models and assembled on site using a combination of metal fittings and traditional joinery. The layered roof, made of bamboo tile and PMMA panels, offers both waterproofing and light control, while permeable gravel paving supports natural drainage. Now serving as a gathering and recreational space, the Pavilion of Clouds stands as a thoughtful example of context-driven, sustainable design. 📸 @wuuuusiming , cnS 🚀 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricAchitecture #PavilionOfClouds #SupAtelier #BambooArchitecture #ParametricPavilion #ComputationalArchitecture #SustainableArchitecture #DigitalFabrication #TraditionalCraftsmanship

🪩Slow Lens by French artist @vincent_leroy_studio is a kinetic installation composed of approximately sixty rotating magnifying lenses. First presented in 2019 in front of the @museelouvre in Paris, the structure forms a transparent, moving curtain that distorts the surrounding architecture through continuous optical shifts. The lenses create repetitive, fluid deformations of the museum’s facade, altering visual perception and introducing a dynamic interaction between viewer, object, and environment. Following its presentation in Paris, the installation was exhibited above the canals of Venice, Italy. Positioned over water, the piece engages with its surroundings through reflection and refraction, generating a layered, fragmented visual field. At night, urban lights pass through the lenses, producing diffraction patterns that separate the installation from its physical context. 📸 21 Studio @adorablestudio 🚀 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #SlowLens #VincentLeroy #PerceptionArt #OpticalArt #MuseDeLouvre #VeniceCanals #Kyoto #ContemporaryArt #UrbanIntervention #ArchitecturalInstallation #ArtAndArchitecture #ParametricArchitecture

⛓️Etherea by @edoardotresoldiofficial is a large-scale installation first exhibited at Coachella 2018, composed of three wire mesh structures inspired by baroque and neoclassical architecture. Each volume shares the same form but differs in scale, ranging from 36 to 72 feet in height, arranged in a basilica-like configuration. The installation was constructed using more than 500 rolls of 25x25 mm wire mesh, each 25 meters long and 1 meter high. The transparency of the material allows natural light to pass through, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow throughout the day. At night, integrated artificial lighting transforms the structures, emphasizing their spatial qualities and enhancing the viewer’s experience. The work explores the intersection of architecture, landscape, and human perception, inviting reflection on scale, presence, and transparency. By varying the dimensions of the three structures, Etherea manipulates spatial perception, altering the relationship between the viewer and the surrounding environment. Described by Tresoldi as “a space where sky and clouds are narrated in the language of classical architecture,” the installation establishes a dialogue between the built and natural worlds. Following its debut at Coachella, Etherea was later exhibited at @wynn.macau in China and featured in the Back to Nature exhibition curated by @costantinodorazio in Rome, solidifying its status as one of Tresoldi’s most iconic works. 📸 @ilcontephotography @simondexea @fabianocaputo 🚀 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ContemporaryArchitecture #SculpturalArchitecture #Neoclassical #Baroque #Ethera #EdoardoTresoldi #Coachella #SpatialDesign

⏰What if the entire architectural workflow, from brief to BIM, could unfold within a single, uninterrupted environment? @snaptrude 3.0 introduces a continuous design runway that brings together programming, spatial planning, massing, presentation, and BIM within a single browser-based platform. Architects can import a client brief, generate and refine a spatial program with AI, and arrange spaces using intelligent adjacency logic that reflects real design intent. The design process transitions naturally from 2D sketching to 3D modeling, allowing for geometric edits, façade customization, material application, and contextual detailing, all in real time. Presentations are built directly from the model with live annotations and integrated views, and with a single export, the entire concept becomes a BIM-ready model, fully compatible with Revit.
