Bricks crafted in the form of fabrics.
Designed by PMA Madhushala in Maval, India, The Gadi House translates ancient defensive logic into modern kinetic poetry.
Raw masonry and quiet courtyards anchor the heavy, fortress-grade base, contrasting with a wave-toothed red-brick crown that drapes light and air like fabric.
Here, brickwork behaves less like load and more like textile.

🌼 Design Spotlight: How the Meskel Wof Inspired the Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa 🌼
Happy Meskel season! As Adey Abeba blankets the highlands, the yellow bloom also marks the arrival of the Meskel Wof—the seasonal birds that herald this time of year in Ethiopia.
Beyond being a central city landmark, the interior architecture of the Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa was built around a biomimetic design concept: translating local birdlife directly into lighting, texture, and color palettes.
Instead of generic modern decor, the interior design explicitly channels two endemic species—the vibrant blue Turaco and the Ethiopian guinea fowl. Here is how that concept translates into the space:
✦ The Blue Glass Bird Chandelier (Reception):
Suspended right over the front desk is a massive, glowing installation composed of hundreds of individual blue glass birds. Modeled after the Turaco, it sets a vivid blue accent that runs throughout the main public areas.
✦ Bird-Nest Lighting (Lobby Lounge):
In the lobby, the motif shifts from the bird itself to its environment. The custom metal and glass light fixtures are woven in an organic, chaotic geometry designed to mimic a bird's nest.
✦ Feather Motifs (Ballroom):
The crystal chandeliers in the main ballroom are sculpted in sweeping, continuous curves that mirror the fluid lines of bird feathers in flight.
✦ Guinea Fowl Textures (Guestrooms):
In the private guest quarters, the focus moves to the spotted, rhythmic plumage of the Ethiopian guinea fowl. High-contrast, black-and-white architectural photography of these feather patterns serves as the primary wall art.
It is a solid example of how local ecology and seasonal culture can drive modern interior architecture without falling back on cliché cultural motifs.
Happy Meskel to everyone celebrating! 💛🔥

🏙️ Dubai Then & Now
These photographs show just how dramatically Dubai has transformed in a few decades.
In the early days of Sheikh Zayed Road, the Toyota Building stood almost alone in the open desert.
Today the same area is surrounded by skyscrapers, highways, and the Metro.
Places that were once empty desert or sea — Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, Bluewaters, and the coastline — are now some of the city’s busiest districts.
Even the Dubai World Trade Centre (opened in 1979), which once stood in near isolation, is now part of a vast and constantly growing city.
A powerful example of rapid urban growth and ambitious city-making.
What do you think about this kind of transformation?

☁️ Tirana Fountain Plaza by BIG
Architecture studio BIG has revealed plans for a striking mixed-use building in Tirana, Albania.
Named Tirana Fountain Plaza, the cloud-like structure is cloaked in layers of white disks and raised on slim white columns above Rinia Park.
It will house: • Apartments
• Offices
• Cultural spaces
• Water features
The design keeps the ground level largely open, turning the base into a generous public plaza.
A soft, floating presence that prioritizes public space while adding density above.
What do you think of this elevated, cloud-inspired approach?
