Only in Rome can you take your morning espresso with a view of one of the Seven Wonders of the World. There's something kind of glamorous-tongue-in-cheek, even-about casually waking up in a cozy Airbnb and opening your eyes to a site where hundreds of thousands of brave gladiators engaged in combat for over 350 years.
Alessandro Aureli, a patron at the cafe, said it was painful to watch Italy lose the game. 'I wish I never woke up this morning. It was such a disappointment,' he said. 'I was so excited thinking about watching Italy playing here in Canada, and seeing it all disappearing in front of my eyes like that ... I'm going to go home and cry for the rest of the day.'
Campaigner Aysha Hawcutt stated that residents were 'not anti-homes', but believed the Adlington plan was 'the wrong proposal in the wrong place'. She expressed pride in the community's resilience against the development threats.
The 135-year-old building has remained shrouded by plywood to protect passersby from the crumbling stone, which has formed a reddish beach on the shed below. The church's congregation dwindled to 12 members and had to fire its pastor to save money.
The contemporary technology museum has emerged as a performative participant in the systems it seeks to document. The architecture of these institutions has become increasingly fluid and bold, often mirroring the velocity and complexity of the systems it houses. They operate as mediators between the human, the ecological, and the technological realms, transforming from encyclopedic warehouses into active educational engines.
Urban Renaissance, the real estate development group that partly owns the mall, has a vision for what comes after demolition. The group's Lloyd Center Central City Master Plan wipes the venerable mall from the map in favor of development that will be familiar to most Portlanders: an intersecting street grid with green space and mixed-used architecture.
You don't have to live long in Williamsburg or Greenpoint to know New York is becoming too expensive for working families. Rents are out of control, and far too many of our neighbors are being priced out of the communities they've called home for generations. As president of the Cooper Park Residents Council, I see every day how the housing crisis affects seniors, parents, and young people who are just trying to stay in the city they love.
The road between Piccadilly Circus and St James's Park could be transformed into a massive public plaza and vehicles could be banned from Regent Street St James's, Waterloo Place and the south side of Piccadilly Circus. If the proposals are enacted, the pedestrianisation of certain roads would lead to more than 35,000 square metres of new public space, equivalent to more than five football pitches, created in the West End.
ExploreMedia has been working with businesses and people throughout the River Region since 2006. They work to help businesses reach their targeted audiences and promote their brand through digital media. The anniversary party brought many of their clients out to have food and refreshments, celebrating their partnership. However, it was also to celebrate the official launch of their new business magazine '26 Things in 2026,' which highlights upcoming events and business operations going on in the area throughout the year.
London has rapidly emerged as Europe's data centre capital, much to the Government's delight, but locations close to the City, where some of the UK's biggest data users are based, are rare and much prized. That is because, when it comes to financial trading in the 21st century, milliseconds matter. The shorter the physical distance between trader and data centre, the faster instructions can be processed, creating a minute but crucial competitive advantage.
The sweeping changes include extensive greening and seating, two major water features, and a large paved events space in front of Trinity College. Early sketches for the space were revealed in June last year, but Dublin City Council (DCC) have refined them on foot of two rounds of public consultation and more than 2,800 written submissions. Extensive seating and a play space are also part of the project, with the council promising "an environment that encourages people to stop, relax and connect with the city around them."

For decades, East San José has been one of our city's most culturally vibrant and resilient neighborhoods. The area has raised generations of civic leaders, served as ground zero for social justice movements and hosted landmark small businesses and local institutions that are directly interwoven with San José's identity. Unfortunately, this area of our city has also historically lacked the level of economic investment it deserves.
Heritage sites constitute complex spatial archives in which architecture, history, and collective memory converge. They encompass a wide spectrum of contexts-from archaeological remains, ancient and historic townscapes, UNESCO-listed landscapes, to early modern civic structures and industrial infrastructures. Yet these environments confront challenges: climate change, urban transformation, disaster, shifting social needs, and the gradual erosion of material fabric. Revitalization and restoration projects respond to these conditions by positioning architectural and spatial practice as an active mediator between preservation and the contemporary topologies.
A Gothic cathedral can take centuries to complete. A world exposition pavilion may stand for six months. A ritual structure in Kolkata rises and vanishes within five days. Yet each draws pilgrimage, shapes collective memory, and reorganizes urban life. If heritage has long been defined by what endures, architecture repeatedly shows that cultural authority can also belong to what gathers people.
Located in Tumanyan Park, the five-story building will expand TUMO's campus, providing spaces for free technology and creative education for teenagers and adults, alongside research and co-working areas for technology and design companies. Positioned on a hilly outcrop above the Hrazdan River Gorge, the project responds to the surrounding topography while establishing visual connections with the city, the gorge, and Mount Ararat.
Leisure spaces are often where different generations cross paths. Without formal programs or assigned roles, they allow people to move, pause, and remain together, each engaging space in their own way. In a built environment increasingly shaped by specialization and separation, these shared spatial grounds have become less common, giving leisure-oriented architecture a renewed relevance. Discussions around public space have repeatedly pointed to the value of openness and flexibility in supporting collective life.
Though they're individually tiny, parking spots quietly play a dominant role in shaping urban landscapes. Most US cities dedicate at least 25% of their developable land to them. Some, even more. That land usage doesn't only determine the way a city looks. It also means covering large swathes of urban areas in heat-absorbing asphalt, which contributes to making summers hotter and heightens the risk of flooding since it prevents drainage during storms and heavy rainfall.
