Sabahs are made entirely by hand from 100% leather in either Texas or Turkey—two regions with distinct yet deeply rooted relationships to the material. The result is a shoe that varies subtly from pair to pair, even within the same size.

The facade is defined by a system of bundled aluminum tubes that shift from vertical to horizontal, forming openings, canopies, and thresholds, creating a dynamic visual identity.

Crews have begun shedding layers of scaffolding that kept the Flatiron Building covered since before the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing New Yorkers and visitors to once again bask in its glory.

Volunteer Linda Fisher, 68, discovered the hub two years ago when she was 'socially isolated' and said the garden 'will be an ice-breaker for people walking past'.

The Pignatelli Reservoirs were part of a water supply system for over a century, consisting of four large reservoirs that could store up to 80,000 m³ of water.

The Old Bridge in Mostar, known locally as Stari Most, was built between 1557 and 1566, its stone arch rising above the Neretva River for more than four centuries. It was destroyed in 1993 during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, then rebuilt in the early 21st century with international support. Today it stands as a symbol of reconciliation as much as a piece of Ottoman-era architecture.

Dali in Nanhai District is transforming into a livable urban environment by unlocking public spaces within its dense fabric, focusing on revitalizing the Yongping Warehouses.

For many years, bamboo has been mostly known as the favourite food of giant pandas, but a group of engineers say it's time we took it seriously as a building material, too. This week the Institution of Structural Engineers called for architects to be bamboo-ready as they published a manual for designing permanent buildings made of the material, in an effort to encourage low-carbon construction and position bamboo as a proper alternative to steel and concrete.

From the large industrial roofs and galleries of the 19th century to the contemporary atriums of museums and public buildings, glass has been a recurring material in shaping large and monumental interior spaces. More than a technological or engineering solution, these horizontal glazed planes introduce a distinct luminous quality: light that comes from above. Unlike lateral daylight entering through façades, zenithal light is more evenly distributed, reduces harsh shadows, and lends spaces a sense of continuity and openness that is difficult to achieve otherwise.
