Architects: Hoda Sharifian - Mohammad Hozhabri

This building was designed by the international architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in collaboration with the local Philippine architectural firm W.V. Coscolluela & Associates. The first skyscraper in the Philippines to achieve LEED Platinum certification.

These are some of the visualizations I submitted as part of my first proposal for a camping reception design in Hungary. These will be part of my thesis project, but in no way will they be the final ones, or in the best case scenario, only the form will change.

For context, this is a very secluded area of Hungary located in Baranya. The challenge, at least for me as a student, is believing something like this would in fact be used when in reality the town seems very inactive and scarcely populated, but nevertheless, this is a rather early assumption as I try to understand the needs and function which would have a meaning to the place.

Designed by Czesław Jabłoński and Józef Korszyński, this building is a striking example of Polish interwar modernism, combining functionalism with Streamline Moderne influences.

In this photograph, we focus on its monumental, curved glass staircase tower, one of the building’s most distinctive architectural features. Its illuminated glazing and elegant vertical rhythm create a dramatic contrast with the solid sandstone facade, highlighting the bold architectural vision of pre-war Warsaw

Here are some more pics from Quetzalcóatl park, from different perspectives. And last pic is the architect who design it, Javier Senosian explaining the map of the place.

The work is finally done: Avenida Reforma, Mexico City, at 1:4000 scale, complete with vegetation. Months of work went into this—see the photos below. I hope you like it.

All my work involves individually modeling each structure without relying on any other sources or AI, as those often provided incorrect data regarding the city and the actual dimensions of the buildings.

Hey guys. I’m looking for an in-depth study on the usage of mashrabiyas for a future project of mine. Preferably one that says by how much (degrees/percent) have they cooled a room/surface. Also maybe a solid guide on patterns/hole sizes etc. I thought it would be a neat low-tech solution for places that experience severe overheating in summer and I need to provide evidence for my argument. If anyone knows anything please share it would help out a lot

Hi guys! I’m a 5th-semester student currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Architecture in Ahmedabad, India. I wanted to share these urban sketches that I’ve made so far this semester (since July 2026). They’re not related to my academic work and are instead from my personal visits to heritage sites across the city and beyond in my free time.

I was lucky to visit the Organic House built and lived by Javier Senosiain, a mexican arquitect. I even got super lucky to be the for a talk and interview. He lived there for 25 years and one of the things about the place is that temperature inside stays mostly the same the whole year.

The Hanging Temple of China is one of the world’s most impossible examples of architecture. Clinging to the cliffs of Mount Heng in Shanxi Province, the historic buildings combine wooden structures, narrow walkways, staircases, and bridges with the natural rock face, creating a gravity-defying marvel.

When I first saw pictures of this temple I knew I had to recreate it with LEGO. I designed my model with an emphasis on detail and realism, really trying to convey the distinctive character of the original structure. The build features numerous interconnected buildings, realistic staircases and bridges winding between the different levels, detailed wooden supports, and the complex arrangement of platforms that gives the Hanging Temple its unique appearance. The temple is actually constructed over a strong Technic frame, giving the appearance of fragile suspension while actually secured to the framework. I also designed the model to be versatile for display: it stands sturdy on a tabletop or can be hung on a wall, making it a piece of wall art.

I've also put this set on LEGO Ideas, which means you can vote to make it a real LEGO set! I think the Hanging Temple would make a fantastic LEGO set because of its iconic construction, unique geometry, and intricate details. It would be both an engaging build and an awesome conversation piece for your home.

If you like this, please support it and share! Thanks so much :)

Sometimes I just randomly buy an architectural boat tour ticket on a beautiful night and it’s the best money I spend.
