🌟 Check out the stunning Library of Law at the University of Zurich, designed by Santiago Calatrava! 📚
The interior boasts rings of L-shaped maple wood pieces, fitted tightly for a touch of elegance. These clever details also absorb sound, keeping the space super quiet.
Even cooler? A hydraulic ceiling curtain with collapsible blades lets in just the right amount of natural light while doubling as acoustic tiles. Smart design at its finest!

🌿 Soaring elegance at Château La Coste’s Drawing Gallery, designed by Richard Rogers!
Cantilevering 27m over an ancient Roman track, this gallery hovers 18m above the historic La Quille ruin, blending minimal ecological impact with bold design. Its vibrant orange steel structure—echoing Rogers’ iconic Millennium Dome and Centre Pompidou—pops against the seasonal landscape, framing stunning Luberon mountain views.
Nestled among trees, it’s a perfect addition to Château La Coste’s Architectural & Art Walk, joining masterpieces by Renzo Piano, Tadao Ando, Jean Nouvel, Kengo Kuma, and Frank Gehry.

🌞 The Innovation, Science, and Technology Building at Florida Polytechnic University, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is a showstopper! 🏢
This iconic structure, crafted with aluminum, concrete, and glass, features a striking pergola that cuts the solar load by 30% while adding serious wow-factor. Its operable roof, with two sets of 46 aluminum louvers powered by hydraulic pistons, tracks the sun’s movement for optimal light and shade. Pure Calatrava brilliance! 🌟

🌟 Baumschlager Eberle Architekten’s masterpiece: Huy Hoang Lock Factory in Vietnam! 🔒🏭
Spanning 3 hectares in Quang Minh Industrial Zone (20km from Hanoi), this complex features three high-tech buildings—two with German tech, one with Italian—linked to a sleek multipurpose front.
The star? The third factory, a 40-year symbol of innovation, snagging GOLD LEED for both design and operations! Its Core & Shell structure opens up vast, flexible interiors.
Tackling Hanoi’s humid, hot monsoon summers and chilly winters: Concrete lamella facades with varying density and angles. South/southeast sides tilt up to 90° to harness sun and breeze! ☀️🌬️

Håndværkskollegiet Herning by Dorte Mandrup – Inspiring Denmark’s next trades talent! 🛠️🏡
In Jutland’s vibrant Herning, this 98,000 sq ft campus houses 84 young apprentices (18-28) for ~4.5 years, tackling the shortage of skilled tradespeople like plumbers & carpenters. Beyond affordable housing, it offers workshops for evening/weekend skill-building with mentors.
Born from a 2021 design comp (outshining C.F. Møller & Schmidt Hammer Lassen), this “floating island” in a windy, wetland site blends with lakes and heathland. A beacon of craft & sustainability! 🌍
